Don Pablo Cigars

At Don Pablo Cigars in Fort Myers, the cigars are rolled right there in the shop, and that is the heart of what makes this place special. Ask anyone who has stopped in and they will tell you the house-made sticks are the real draw. People come in a little skeptical about cigars made on-site, then leave as fans. One local who got handed a Don Pablo at an event put it simply: the draw was perfect, it burned great, and he was sold on the spot.

This is a family-owned shop, and it shows in how the folks behind the counter treat you. Regulars talk about being warmly greeted and walked through the selection until they land on the right cigar. If you are newer to it, they will help you choose. The word around Fort Myers is that the prices are fair for the quality you are getting, which keeps people coming back year after year.

One longtime customer has been buying here for six years and still swears by the consistency. The house line runs deep, including their own J.O. Cigars, and you will find both maduro and sweeter wrappers along with bourbon and cognac infused cigars worth trying. They carry a few outside brands too, though the selection of top-rated names from elsewhere is a bit more limited, so this is really a place to come for what they make themselves.

Beyond the cigars, you can pick up smoking accessories like lighters and ashtrays. With a strong reputation across town and a steady stream of people who keep it stocked in their humidor, Don Pablo Cigars has earned its place among cigar lovers in Fort Myers. If you appreciate a hand-rolled smoke and knowing exactly where it came from, this is a shop worth a visit.
