Here at FMoPA, we are celebrating Ybor City’s legacy as the world's cigar capital through a photographic lens. We’re bridging the gap between the historic golden age of cigar making and the vibrant present. Thanks to original vintage photographs from The Burns Collection & Archive, alongside new photos by Zack Wittman (commissioned by J.C. Newman), you’ll get an exclusive look at the factory life, skilled rollers, and deep roots that fueled Ybor's rise.

Ci**rs! is on view now through July 19th.
