Corona Cigar Company & Montecristo Lounge

If you are in Lake Mary and you want to sit down with a good cigar, Corona Cigar Company & Montecristo Lounge is the name people bring up first. Ask anyone who spends an evening here and they will tell you the selection is enormous, one of the more deeply stocked cigar lounges you will find anywhere in Central Florida. The word around town is simple: with a cigar bar in Lake Mary, there really is no other choice. The setup is what keeps regulars coming back. You get a full bar with a nicely curated whiskey selection, plenty of room to relax, and staff who read the room.

If you want someone to help light you up and talk you through the humidor, they are right there. If you want to be left alone to chill with a cigar and a coffee, they give you that space too. One regular summed up an afternoon in the lounge as better than therapy, and that easygoing vibe comes up again and again. The team here earns a lot of the praise. Ask for Trey and he will greet you at the door and walk you straight to what you are after, which locals say is a real time saver if you do not know the store well.

Newcomers and novices get the same treatment. People who came in unsure of what to buy tell us it was never an inconvenience to the staff, and that goes a long way. The store stays clean, the selection is vast, and the prices are considered fair. Alongside the cigars you will find tobacco pipes and smoking accessories. We will pass along one honest note that regulars mention: a few longtime folks wish the air cleaners got fresher attention, since the room can hold onto stale smoke.

Everything else, the staff, the variety, the atmosphere, gets glowing word of mouth. For a relaxed evening with a drink and a good cigar in Lake Mary, this is the spot locals point you to.
