Tampa Trolleys Cigars were Introduced in 2012 by JC Newman Cigar Company of Tampa, Florida, the Tampa Trolleys bundles have been created to honor the cigar tradition of Ybor City. One of the few American companies still making cigars in the United States, JC Newman makes their Tampa Trolleys on antique cigar machines that aid their cigar rollers to produce a great tasting, low priced cigar. The wrapper is a Connecticut Broadleaf that gives this cigar a touch of sweetness.
Cigar Origin
USA
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Production of cigars in the United States, once a thriving industry, is now mainly machine made cigars. They are still being produced in the last remaining cigar factory from the 1890s, the JC Newman Cigar factory in Tampa. However, in recent years boutique brands have flourished and are being handmade by select rollers in Miami, Florida.

Wrapper Color
Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).
Wrapper
USA Connecticut Broadleaf
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Connecticut Broadleaf is grown in the United States' Connecticut Valley and is prized for its dark, oily, full flavored and aromatic characteristics. The plants are grown in full sun giving this cigar wrapper its characteristic sweetness. The Connecticut Broadleaf plant leaves are mainly processed as maduro tobacco. Today, Connecticut Broadleaf seeds are being grown in other countries besides the United States.

The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Binder (or filler tobaccos) classified as Various are made of leaves from a variety of tobaccos, which the manufacturer has not disclosed.
