Cigar Brand: Henry the Fourth
In 1895, the Bustillo Brothers cigar company relocated from Havana, Cuba to West Tampa. They brought 120 workers with them.
This factory was originally built for the Preferred Havana Company. The Bustillo Bros and Diaz moved into the building in 1903.
The factory is currently used as office space.
