Puro Cigars Lounge

Puro Cigars Lounge has become one of Florida City's most beloved spots for anyone who takes their cigars seriously, and the word around town backs that up. The humidor here is beautifully stocked with premium brands people come specifically to smoke: Padron, Arturo Fuente, Rocky Patel, Oliva, Perdomo, Camacho, Romeo y Julieta, Partagas, Punch, AVO, and Fuera de Serie among them. If you're a longtime smoker or just starting to explore, the selection runs deep enough to keep things interesting every visit. Ask anyone who spends time here and Matthew's name comes up first.

Locals will tell you he has a real passion for cigars and takes the time to figure out what you actually enjoy before making a recommendation. Newcomers say he'll put them onto sweeter cigars they might never have tried, and seasoned smokers trust his picks just as much. One visitor from out of town made it a daily stop for a week and left calling it a favorite, which tells you plenty about how welcome people feel walking through the door. The lounge side is a big part of the draw.

They added a bar area that regulars rave about, and the bartenders keep the good energy going. Monica gets called the best in town by more than a few people, Danae has a way of turning an ordinary visit into something memorable, and folks mention Rachel, Alex, Trinity, and that Trinity makes a serious Old Fashioned. Don't skip the cafecito either; people swear by it. It's the kind of place where the staff and the regulars all greet each other, and everyone treats you like family from the first minute.

One person who has been coming since before the lounge even existed still calls it his spot whenever he's home. If you're near Florida City and want somewhere relaxed to sit back with a good cigar, Puro Cigars Lounge is an easy recommendation.
