Figurado Cigar Company

Figurado Cigar Company has quietly become one of the best-loved names for cigars in San Tan Valley, and the word around town is that a lot of that comes down to Frank and Kassie. Ask anyone who has bought from them and you'll hear the same thing: these two know their stuff, and they take real care matching people to the right smoke. Newcomers especially appreciate that. If you've never smoked a cigar or know just enough to be dangerous, Frank is happy to talk through your palate and steer you toward something you'll actually enjoy, and locals will tell you his recommendations tend to land dead on.

The lineup here reads like a wish list for anyone who takes cigars seriously. You'll find Arturo Fuente, Padron-family favorites like Don Pepin Garcia, My Father, Jaime Garcia and Flor de las Antillas, along with Ashton, Cohiba, Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta, Oliva, Perdomo, Rocky Patel, Plasencia, A.J. Fernandez and Drew Estate. There's plenty for the adventurous crowd too, with names like Crowned Heads, Foundation Cigar Co., Blackbird Cigar Co., Deadwood Tobacco Company, Island Jim, Patina and Studio Tabac in the mix.

Whether you're replenishing a humidor or trying your first stick, the range covers both ends. People who shop here swear by the personal touch. Frank has been spotted meeting folks at the Family Market over in Queen Creek, making recommendations right there and following up after. One regular signed up for the monthly subscription after just a few visits, which tells you something about how the experience sticks with people.

They've even handled cigars for weddings, and by all accounts the guests had a blast. Fair pricing, genuine knowledge, and two owners who clearly love what they do. That combination is why Figurado has earned such a strong reputation among cigar folks in San Tan Valley.
