Toast Cigar Bar

Toast Cigar Bar has become one of Fort Myers' most beloved spots for anyone who likes to slow down with a good cigar. The man behind it is Gianni, and ask anyone who has spent an afternoon here and Gianni's name comes up first. He knows his cigars inside and out, and locals will tell you he has a gift for steering you toward something that fits your flavor profile, sometimes a stick you never expected to love. One regular put it simply: this is their happy place.

Gianni and his wife run the room with genuine warmth, and it is the kind of place where you walk in a stranger and leave feeling like a regular. The selection is a real point of pride around here. There is a well-kept walk-in humidor and a collection that draws praise across town, with brands like Fasano earning particular love for a smooth draw and clean burn. Beyond cigars, the shop carries vapes and smoking accessories, so there is more to browse than the humidor alone.

What keeps people coming back is the atmosphere as much as the smokes. The space is clean, laid back, and set up for lingering. You can settle in, watch a game, enjoy some conversation, and folks even bring their own drinks to relax with over a cigar. Couples talk about spending many evenings here, and out-of-towners have wandered in from the plaza and walked out with recommendations on what to do around Fort Myers, courtesy of Gianni and his wife.

A few voices are a little split, with the occasional grumble about pricing or ventilation, but the overwhelming word around Fort Myers is that this is a special, welcoming place. If you want a comfortable cigar lounge with a knowledgeable owner who genuinely enjoys the company, Toast is worth the stop.
