Gulfport Cigar Company

If you want a real cigar shop in Gulfport, not a vape counter with a humidor stuck in the corner, this is the one people point you toward. Gulfport Cigar Company has built a serious reputation around here, and it is one of the highest-rated smoke shops in the area for good reason. Rob, the owner, has been running the place since day one, and ask anyone who shops here and they will tell you the man knows cigars. The selection is what keeps people talking. Locals describe an incredible lineup of premium cigars, and Rob works hard to source the good stuff, including some rare and hard to find sticks you will not turn up just anywhere.

What makes it stick, though, is how he treats people. New to cigars? He will walk you through how to pick a good one without ever making you feel like you asked a dumb question. One regular put it plainly, calling the customer service old-school gold standard. That kind of word gets around a town like Gulfport.

This is a lounge as much as a shop. The place is clean, there are refreshments, and there is an outside seating area where folks settle in to smoke a cigar and catch up with friends. The atmosphere is easygoing inside and out, welcoming to a seasoned aficionado and a first-timer alike. We have also heard Rob offers delivery and will ship if he cannot get you what you need in the store, which says a lot about how far he goes for the people who walk through the door. The hours run late, so it works for an after-work smoke as well as an afternoon hang.

Between the collection, the fair rates, and Rob himself, this is the kind of place people call home. If you are looking for a genuine cigar shop in Gulfport, Florida, put this one on your list.
