When Cuban immigrants brought the cigar-making industry to Florida in the 19th Century, they carried with them another tradition. As the workers toiled away in the factory hand rolling each cigar, the lector, (historically well-dressed and well-spoken), would read to them. It was the lector who informed, organized and entertained the workers until the 1930s, when the rollers and the readers were replaced by mechanization.
Ybor City a section of Tampa was the center of the cigar industry, and it serves as the setting for Nilo Cruz’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play.
