Casa de Montecristo Cigar Lounge

Casa de Montecristo Cigar Lounge has become one of the most beloved cigar spots in Boca Raton, and once you walk through the door it's easy to understand why. The walk-in humidor is the centerpiece, stocked deep with an extensive selection that keeps people coming back. You'll find the names serious cigar folks look for: Montecristo, Padron, Arturo Fuente, Davidoff, Cohiba, Oliva, Romeo y Julieta, Drew Estate, Rocky Patel, and Perdomo. New to cigars or picking out a gift?

There's always someone on the floor who knows their stuff and will take the time to steer you right. One traveler from Michigan told us Funda walked them through selections they'd never have found on their own and called it one of the best humidor experiences they'd had. The lounge itself is what turns first-timers into regulars. Soft leather chairs, a beautiful, well-stocked bar, and plenty of TVs going for whatever game is on, whether that's playoff basketball or the World Cup.

The word around Boca is that the bartenders are the heart of the place. People rave about Shannon and Alina, and if you like an old fashioned, regulars will point you straight to Alex. Camilo and David also get named often for service and excellent drinks. Ask anyone who spends time here and they'll tell you the crowd is part of the draw too, the kind of room where strangers turn into friends and the staff remembers your name if you come by with any regularity.

Locals will tell you the prices are fair, which is no small thing for a lounge this nice. One visitor stuck at the airport with a flight delay swung by, since it's an easy stop from PBI, and left calling the selection great and the people friendlier still. Another put it best after a long stay: it doesn't just feel like a cigar lounge, it feels like home. If you're looking for a cigar shop in Boca Raton where the smoke, the drinks, and the company all land right, this one is hard to beat.
