Aficionado's Premium Cigars & Wine

Aficionado's Premium Cigars & Wine is a family-run cigar shop and lounge in Coral Springs that locals have come to love. Rick and his dad run the place, and ask anyone who shops here and they'll tell you the two of them bring a real wealth of knowledge to the counter. This is the kind of spot where you can walk in a complete novice, get pointed toward a few cigars that actually match your taste, and walk out understanding a little more than you did before. People appreciate that nobody's trying to push the priciest stick on you here.

The whole approach is about figuring out what you like and building a relationship. The cigar selection runs deep, with names like Davidoff, Padron, Fuente, Oliva, La Flor Dominicana, Ernesto Carrillo, Curivari, Foundation, Aging Room, Flor de Antillas, Illusione, Casdagli, Deadwood, Tabak and Villiger on the shelves. Beyond the cigars, this doubles as a wine and beer spot. Gary, one of the owners, knows the wine list inside and out.

One regular came in looking for a pairing for bacon-wrapped filets and got a spot-on recommendation on the first try, then kept coming back. You can settle in with a drink and a smoke, and the word around Coral Springs is that the jazz on the speakers and the easy atmosphere make it a genuinely relaxing place to sit a while. Folks who've been in mention the clean, comfortable setup and good ventilation, and the general feeling is that supporting a small family business beats a big-box or the internet any day. If there's one thing to know, it's a cigar and wine lounge first, so pipe smokers won't find much here.

With well over a hundred people singing its praises and a strong local reputation, Aficionado's has earned its place as a favorite for cigar and wine lovers around Coral Springs and beyond. Go in, grab a stick, take a seat and enjoy.
