Tampa, Florida – Immigrant Dreams and Pirate Schemes

Season 1 Episode 107

This episode offers an intimate look into Joseph by following his immigrant grandfather’s life in Tampa, Florida’s “Cigar City” in the 1890’s. He explores Ybor City, visits the Cuban Club, talks to relatives, learns how to roll cigars and construct a Cuban sandwich. The unexpected cherry on this Cuban rum cake is joining the parade of pirates during Tampa’s annual Gasparilla Pirate Festival.
