You can't tell Tampa's story without talking about ci**rs. 🍂

J.C. Newman Cigar Company just dropped a stunning documentary — The American Story: The Forgotten Cigar Tradition — and it's a love letter to the craftspeople who kept this tradition alive, right here in Tampa Bay and across America.

El Reloj in Ybor City is the last traditional cigar factory standing in the United States. And the best part? You can walk through it yourself, weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Watch the full 20-minute documentary here and see why Tampa Bay has been Cigar City for more than a century. 🎬

The Tampa Bay waterfront turned into something you had to see to believe yesterday.

U.S. Special Operations Forces and 10 partner nations took over Downtown Tampa as part of SOF Week, the annual convention at the Tampa Convention Center that brings together the world's most elite military minds, for a live simulation showcasing the cutting edge of special ops technology and tactical innovation.

Across downtown Tampa, the city transformed into a front-row seat to the future of special operations.
