Crema's Take

This Ybor City institution captures authentic Tampa cigar culture with genuine warmth, where regulars return for their exceptional house blend selection and perfectly pulled Cuban coffee served in a rustic, easygoing space that feels like it's been welcoming the neighborhood for generations. Beyond the impressive cigar inventory, what sets it apart is the relaxed atmosphere that invites you to linger over cafe con leche and dominos with the kind of hospitality that only comes from true community roots. It's the rare spot where you'll find both serious cigar enthusiasts and casual visitors equally at home, all drawn by that special blend of old-world charm and genuine Cuban ownership.

Nicahabana Cigars is one of those spots that feels like it’s been part of the neighborhood forever. The atmosphere leans rustic in the best way—warm wood, relaxed lighting, and that easygoing vibe that makes you want to slow down for a minute. It’s the kind of place where taking a break actually feels like taking a break. The cigar selection is solid, and the staff knows their stuff without ever making it feel intimidating. Pairing a good cigar with a smooth café con leche there is almost a ritual; it’s simple, unpretentious, and genuinely enjoyable. Whether you’re stopping in to unwind after a long day or just carving out a quiet moment for yourself, it’s a great little escape in the city.

Everytime I travel I always get sticks from the local boutiques. I always want their house blends and I am normally satisfied. But Nicahabana Cigars blew me away! The selection of styles in their house blends is far and above many other boutiques! They even have one shaped like a tobacco pipe! The sticks are well packed, no heavy draw, no stems, full of flavor and strength, and as an added pièce de résistance - THE PRICES ARE BETTER THAN THE BIG BRANDS!! This IS the place to get great sticks!! Just do me a favor and save a few for me!

Nicahabana Cigars in Ybor City is truly a hidden gem. The atmosphere perfectly captures the spirit of classic Tampa cigar culture, blending a relaxed, old-world charm with genuine hospitality. Their cigar selection is top-notch, offering an impressive variety that caters to both seasoned cigar enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Every stick feels carefully curated, and the knowledgeable staff are always eager to help you find the perfect smoke. And the café con leche? Easily one of the best in the game. Smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced—it pairs beautifully with any cigar you choose. What really sets Nicahabana apart, though, is the people. The staff are warm, kind, and make you feel like family from the moment you walk in. Whether you’re there to unwind, chat, watch the ball games or just enjoy good coffee and cigars, this is the spot.

My favorite spot for Cuban coffee and cafe con leche! Love playing dominos here! Fantastic service. So chill and relaxing. Wide selection of Cuban cigars! Authentic Cuban owned establishment! Fridays and Saturdays are a whole vibe. Great patrons. Most cigar lounges are overcrowded and loud. Nicahabana is super chill. They have comfy chairs inside and chairs outside where you can sit and enjoy cigars as well. It's definitely a fantastic chill cigar lounge! Did I mention the cafe con leche and expresso coffee? Absolutely authentic and delishhhhh! You won't be disappointed.
