The Brass Pipe

If you smoke cigars anywhere on the Treasure Coast, The Brass Pipe in Fort Pierce is the name people give you first. This is an old, established spot, going back nearly 50 years in the area, and it shows in the depth of what they carry and the way they treat you. The humidor stays full and covers cigars at every price point, so whether you are just getting into it or you have been at it for decades, there is something here for you. The word around Fort Pierce is that the staff make this place.

Ask anyone who shops here and they will tell you the guys behind the counter know their stuff cold. Regulars mention Mark and owner Leo by name, both of them the sort who will take time to walk you through a question, help you resolve an issue with a pipe, or point you toward a smoke when you cannot decide. One person who came in described being treated like they had known the crew their whole life. That kind of welcome is why people keep coming back.

Beyond cigars, they stock tobacco pipes and fresh pipe tobacco, including a house blend folks rave about (one regular called John's blend a hundred times better than anything they found elsewhere). You will also find accessories here, from lighters to lighter fluid and wicks, and a smoking room and lounge that people consider a real bonus. We hear the prices are fair and the quality control is tight, which matters when you are laying down for a good cigar. They are known for keeping late hours too, and the story goes that they once unlocked the door for someone a minute past closing so they could grab what they needed.

That tells you plenty about the place. With a strong reputation across the community, The Brass Pipe has earned its spot as the shop cigar people on the Treasure Coast point to first.
