	SMOKE 09/98 - Ybor City
		Ybor City stands in the sun, swarming with Buccaneers and saturated by the scent of cigars.
		Ybor City was founded in 1886 by cigar manufacturers Vincent-Martinez Ybor and Don Ignacio Haya, who were drawn to Tampa Bay by the climate, offers of land, and $4,000 in cash.
		Ybor City was the "Cigar Capital of the World" for over 50 years and, in some ways, still is. It is an historic district haunted by ghosts of anarchists, revolutionaries, and industrialists who laid the groundwork for the modern cigar industry.
