The goal of the school is not only to teach people how to roll the cigars but also to teach them the history of the industry in Ybor City. This is accomplished by providing the students with a textbook accompanying the class that covers the history of the cigar industry in the Ybor City district. The reason for this is so that the people being hired to roll the cigars at the International Bazaar for tourists can also answer the tourist's questions and give them factual history on the cigar industry in the area. The cigar rolling class is instructed by Master cigar rollers, and is the most extensive course of its kind anywhere. In addition to the history of cigars and cigar rolling, many other subjects are covered. Pupils learn about the diverse types of tobacco grown in different countries, their distinctive flavor characteristics, and how to develop unique cigar blends. The class ends with three weeks devoted to specifically working on perfecting the rolling technique. At the end of the course, graduates are allowed to take home a box of cigars that they made in class. They also take with them all of the skills essential to blend and roll cigars professionally. The classes go for twelve weeks and the following topics are covered: The history of cigar rolling - locally in Ybor City and globally Understanding the tobacco growing industry Defining the different vitilas (blends) Preparing the binders Formatting the cigar Understanding tobacco and wrappers Creating the body of the cigar Learning to cut the leaves Understanding the molding process The final wrapping stage Quality control Perfecting the rolling technique Contact the International Bazaar in Ybor City for class times and prices.
