The Legacy of Hav-A-Tampa Jewels
The Hav-A-Tampa Jewels line is arguably the most famous iteration of the brand. These jewels are defined by their slender shape and the distinctive birchwood tips that have become synonymous with the name havatampa. The use of birchwood serves a practical purpose by keeping the tobacco away from the lips and preventing the end of the cigar from becoming soft. This feature is particularly valued by smokers who enjoy outdoor activities, such as fishing or golfing. For those seeking value in larger quantities, our Box of 50 Tobacco & Cigar Collection is an excellent resource.

Why Choose Wood-Tipped Cigars?
The decision to smoke wood-tipped cigars comes down to convenience. Unlike traditional cigars, hav a tampa cigars are ready to smoke immediately. The birchwood tip acts as a built-in holder, cooling the smoke slightly and ensuring the structural integrity of the cigar remains intact. This makes them an excellent choice for multitasking or manual labor. If you prefer a different format, explore our Cigarette Cartons & Filtered Cigars.
