The walk-in humidor at Florida Cigars holds a selection of the more popular commercial brands and several house brands. The proprietors of this mom-and-pop operation will be glad to talk cigars with you; they'll let you pull up a chair and smoke one with them. Sam Ferlita. may even share his newspaper with you, and he'll definitely give you a light.

Don Barco has big plans for his latest cigar shop; King Corona is already stocked with humiclors, accessories, and tobacco. The shop has over 1,000 square feet of humidor space and carries a large selection of premium brands. Pipes and pipe tobacco are also available, including a few house blends. Plans include a cigar lounge, and possibly a wine rack or two.

Located north of Interstate 4, Vincent & Tampa is a local secret. However, being off the beaten path is a positive: they don't suffer from high overhead, and prices are reasonable. The decor is utilitarian: the few decorations inside their shop are antiques salvaged from cigar factories. They even have a few antique molds and presses for sale, in case you want to try handrolling a few at home.
