Enjoy this in‑depth report from FOX 13 News in Tampa highlighting J.C. Newman Cigar Company and their profound impact on the history, culture, and growth of Ybor City and Tampa throughout the years: https://www.fox13news.com/video/fmc-ms5bnbda8xvk5s01

The legacy of J.C. Newman Cigar Company continues to shape American craftsmanship more than a century after its founding in 1895. As the nation’s oldest family‑owned premium cigar maker, J.C. Newman preserves tradition inside Tampa’s historic El Reloj factory, where visitors can tour the working facility, explore the museum, learn to roll ci**rs, enjoy the restaurant, and even stay at the on‑site inn. Their commitment to heritage, quality, and community has made them a defining name in the cigar world and a proud Florida institution.​ **rs

That commitment was on full display at the Florida Sports Hall of Fame’s Baseball, Bourbon & Ci**rs event, where J.C. Newman served as an integral sponsor. The evening brought together Major League Baseball stars, Hall of Famers, and prominent community leaders for a celebration of sports, tradition, and philanthropy. Guests enjoyed a curated bourbon tasting experience, premium ci**rs, and a vibrant atmosphere that blended storytelling with camaraderie. The event also delivered ​a meaningful impact​ by raising funds to benefit Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg, supporting their lifesaving pediatric care. Notable attendees included Tampa Mayor Jane Castor, whose presence underscored the event’s importance to the region and its connection to the community.​

The Florida Sports Hall of Fame continues its mission of honoring the state’s greatest athletes, coaches, and contributors while inspiring future generations through statewide events, youth initiatives, and community partnerships. Supporters can join that mission through the Patrons Program, a $75 annual membership that fuels youth outreach, educational programs, and initiatives like Fame for Fitness. Patrons receive exclusive benefits — including merchandise discounts, early event access, a customizable Hall of Fame cap, and the ability to nominate future inductees — all while helping preserve Florida’s sports legacy and expand the Hall’s impact across the state.​

There are so many different jobs that are originals to the Tampa Bay Area, including J.C. Newman Cigar Co. Drew Newman talks about cigar production and how he hopes to continue the cigar-rolling legacy.

MIC'D UP® from 2026 Solheim Cup - WildBill's Golf Weather Report with Banter hosted by John Reger, PGA

The 2026 Solheim Cup brings one of golf’s most electric international rivalries to the Netherlands for the first time, with Team USA and Team Europe battling across three days of high‑pressure match play at Bernardus Golf. The event features 28 total points, including foursomes and fourballs on Friday and Saturday, followed by decisive Sunday singles — with 14½ points needed to win the Cup. Captains Angela Stanford (USA) and Anna Nordqvist (Europe) lead two deeply talented squads into a venue known for precision, strategy, and unpredictable European weather.

Bernardus Golf, located in Noord‑Brabant near historic Hertogenbosch, is a modern championship venue designed by architect Kyle Phillips. The course’s rolling heathland terrain, sculpted bunkering, and natural fescue create an amphitheater‑style setting ideal for dramatic team golf. Bernardus is also one of the sport’s most environmentally forward facilities — operating chemical‑free and hosting the first car‑free Solheim Cup, with spectators arriving by shuttle, bicycle, or on foot. Its sustainability partnership with John Deere further elevates course preparation through electrified machinery and precision turf management.

Covering all this action is Wild Bill’s Golf Weather Report, whose updates are especially valuable given the cool temperatures, strong winds, and frequent rain forecasted throughout the event. With Friday and Saturday showing roughly 55% rain odds and Sunday expected to deliver the toughest conditions — including a 19 km/h west wind and 68% chance of rain — Wild Bill’s on‑course insights help fans and players anticipate how weather will shape momentum and strategy. Paired with broadcaster John Reger, PGA, the duo brings personality, expertise, and real‑time storytelling to one of the most compelling Solheim Cups in history.

We are incredibly grateful to the families, volunteers, supporters and participants whose enthusiasm and sportsmanship made this event such a success. The future of golf is bright, and we can’t wait to see everyone back on the course!”

Reger is known throughout Florida and beyond for his multifaceted career in golf instruction, broadcasting, tournament announcing, and player development. According to John "Golf is a Game of a Lifetime and the best time to get involved is when you are a Kid growing up and not only learning about how to get the ball in the hole in as few as strokes possible, but also to learn some of the life traits to carry on with you that the Game of Golf provides such as honesty, integrity, sportsmanship and respect!"

MIC'D UP® FedEx Cup BMW CHAMPIONSHIP Mudslides! WildBill's Golf Weather with John Reger PGA

Watch this MIC'D UP® S​HORT from who provides Golf Weather Reports from the and the World of Golf! This week it’s the FedEx Cup from the BMW Championship from Bellerive Country Club, St. Louis, Missouri.
Download the APP at Google Play or the Apple APP Store.
In addition to his unique take on Mother Nature. WildBill adds some very interesting details about this week's event and is hosted by MIC’D UP® Broadcaster, , who joins in the fun with golf banter!

The FedExCup stands as the PGA TOUR’s ultimate season‑long test — a year‑round chase for consistency, excellence, and clutch performance. From January’s opening tee shots to August’s playoff drama, players accumulate points that determine who advances to the postseason and who falls short. The Cup has evolved into golf’s version of a championship series, where every swing carries playoff implications and the winner earns not only the trophy but the title of PGA TOUR Player of the Year. It’s the culmination of a year’s worth of pressure, precision, and perseverance.

This year’s BMW Championship brings that intensity to Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, a venue steeped in history and known for its demanding layout. Bellerive last hosted a major in 2018, and its return to the spotlight for the FedExCup Playoffs adds a fresh layer of excitement. The course’s wide fairways and strategic bunkering reward bold play, while its Midwestern setting promises unpredictable weather — a storyline tailor‑made for golf’s newest content creator, , whose humorous and insightful “golf weather” segments have become a fan favorite across social platforms.

Storoe’s rise reflects the changing face of golf media — authentic, entertaining, and connected directly to fans. His blend of meteorology, humor, and tournament insight brings a new dimension to coverage, turning forecasts into storytelling and giving audiences a reason to tune in before the first tee shot. As the FedExCup Playoffs unfold, his coverage from Bellerive will spotlight not just the weather but the personalities shaping the championship chase.

At the center of that chase is Scottie Scheffler, the world’s number‑one‑ranked player and a model of consistency throughout 2026. Scheffler’s precision tee‑to‑green and calm under pressure have made him the benchmark for excellence. With multiple wins and top finishes leading into Bellerive, he’s positioned to solidify his claim as the FedExCup Champion and PGA TOUR Player of the Year — a fitting capstone to a season defined by dominance. If he closes strong in St. Louis, Scheffler’s name could join the short list of players who turned a great year into a historic one.
