A tobacco factory is where tobacco is processed and cured to make it ready for use as an ingredient in the tobacco sold and used in smoking pipes, cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco and "snuff" (dipping tobacco). Tobacco factories employed many people in Cuba, Ybor City, West Tampa, and other tobacco producing areas. Many of the buildings remain. The factory building along with stemmery buildings and warehouses are used in the manufacturing process of tobacco products.
