about the Cover
This issue features a photo commemorating Tampa’s own famous historical industry, the cigar industry. The photo
shows an interior view of the Cuesta-Rey Cigar Company, taken in Ybor City in 1929. Note the lector reading from
the raised platform at the right. Historically, lectors or readers in a cigar factory entertained workers by reading books
or newspapers aloud. Ybor City was founded as an independent town in 1885 by a group of cigar manufacturers led
by Vicente Martinez-Ybor and was annexed by Tampa in 1887. Ybor City continued to grow and prosper through the
1920s when this photo was taken, by which time its factories were producing almost half a billion hand-rolled cigars
every year, giving Tampa the nickname of “Cigar City.” The photo is part of the Burgert Brothers historical photograph
collection, which chronicled life in the Tampa Bay area from the late 1800s to the early 1960s.
