King Corona Cigars
Best Cigar Shop in Tampa · FL
Hand-rolled Ybor City tradition
King Corona is a Ybor City cornerstone that fuses three of the district's traditions — hand-rolled cigars, strong Cuban coffee, and a lively café-bar. On Seventh Avenue it sells Ybor-made cigars from a walk-in humidor, pours café con leche and cocktails, and serves Cuban sandwiches to a sidewalk crowd.
A gathering place as much as a shop, King Corona keeps Ybor City's cigar heritage alive in a neighborhood that once rolled the world's finest — smoke, coffee, and conversation under the same roof.
