Ybor City entrepreneur enhances cigar culture

Tampa Bay entrepreneur Sean Mobley, with a rich family history in stogies, wants in on what's widely known as the cigar capital of the world, Ybor City. 

The co-owner of Celebrity Cigars, Mobley has a family history in the business that goes back to his late Kentucky grandfather, who died in 2020. His grandfather hand-rolled cigars, using bourbon barrel-aged distillery brands to add flavor to the leaves. The grandson will next month open a store at 1517 E. 5th Ave., where orders can be taken in-person or via the internet.
