Reel Smokers Cigars

Reel Smokers Cigars has built a loyal following in Deerfield Beach, and it's easy to see why once you spend a little time there. This is a straightforward cigar shop with a good selection and prices that regulars consistently call fair. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll point you toward Merrill, who most folks describe as a genuine joy to deal with, always ready to help you find the right stick or hook you up with something like a solid ashtray. Carlos, the owner, runs a tight ship, and Merle is usually around too, another familiar face who can steer you to a good smoke.

The word around Deerfield Beach is that the service is what keeps people coming back. Just ask, and the team does their best to track down what you're after. One local put it plainly: you want amazing prices, service, and a fantastic atmosphere, this is the place. Newcomers who aren't cigar experts say they left with all their questions answered and no pressure.

There are also convenient gift sets and combo buys if you're shopping for someone else. If you want a house recommendation, people speak well of the shop's own "no brand" cigars from Nicaragua, sold by the bundle. It's a laid-back spot with a few chairs where you can settle in for some quiet time, and there's the option to smoke inside on a rough weather day. It isn't a formal lounge, so keep that in mind if you're expecting one.

A couple of quick notes worth passing along from locals: they've been known to close early, so it pays to time your visit, and the odd person has run into a less than warm phone call. Those are the exceptions though. The consensus around town lands firmly on friendly, inviting, and worth a stop whenever you're in the area.
