Cigar Cutters

Cigar Cutters has become one of the most beloved cigar spots around Fort Myers, and it earns that reputation the old-fashioned way: by treating everyone who walks in like they belong. Barbie and Jack Sanzeri run the place, and the word around town is that they are usually right there greeting folks by name. As Barbie has been known to put it, "walk through our doors twice, and you're family." That kind of welcome is what keeps regulars coming back, and it shows in how highly people here speak of the place. The humidor is on the smaller side but well curated, with plenty to choose from.

You will find serious names on the shelves: Padron, Fuente, My Father, AJ Fernandez, Oliva, Rocky Patel, Montecristo, Ashton, Drew Estate, Perdomo, Alec Bradley, Camacho, Gurkha, La Gloria, Macanudo and more. Ask the staff for a suggestion and they will steer you right. People have singled out Kasey for helping them find the perfect cigar and pointing out the current specials, and those specials are a big draw. One regular mentioned a buy three get one free deal that comes with a free drink too.

This is as much a lounge as a shop. There is a good selection of beer and wine, comfortable seating, a poker table, and TVs so the game is always on. Sundays during football season, the owners lay out a nice spread. On Friday nights there is even live music from the house band.

Just note the bar keeps it to beer and wine, so if you were hoping for spirits to pair with your cigar, plan accordingly. The vibe is clean, cozy and genuinely friendly, the kind of place travelers on their way through stumble into and end up staying a while. They keep late hours, which suits the relaxed, hang-out feeling. If you want a cigar shop in Fort Myers that feels more like a neighborhood living room, this one is hard to beat.
