  • Florida Sun Grown Farms Road Trip – Ybor City Blend 2006 Maduro

    Florida Sun Grown Farms Road Trip – Ybor City Blend 2006 Maduro
    Mar 4 2026
    Burnt Offerings goes on the road. In this special episode we record inside the curing barn at Florida Sun Grown Farms in Clermont, Florida — surrounded by air-curing tobacco hanging overhead. While visiting the Tampa area we cold-called the farm and somehow ended up sitting in the barn talking tobacco, cigar culture, and the history of Florida Sun Grown leaf. Because we didn’t plan quite as well as we should have, the cigar of the day isn’t an FSG blend but a local Tampa shop pickup: the Ybor City Blend 2006 Maduro by Tampa Bay Rollers. The result is a laid-back conversation about curing tobacco, the smell of a working barn, Tampa’s cigar heritage, and the surreal experience of recording an episode literally surrounded by the raw ingredient that makes the whole hobby possible.
