Cigars Crafters

Cigars Crafters has built a real reputation among Miami cigar people, and its reach goes well beyond the neighborhood. We've heard from folks as far away as the UK who order here and keep coming back, which tells you something about how this shop runs. The selection is where it starts. This is a proper cigar store with the names serious smokers look for, from Arturo Fuente, Ashton, Davidoff, Cohiba and AVO to Alec Bradley, AJ Fernandez, Camacho, CAO, Acid and Aging Room.

You'll also find harder-to-track-down lines like Aladino, Asylum, C.L.E., Aging Room and Chillin Moose, plus their own no-band cigars that people who shop here rave about for the flavor at a fair price. One longtime regular mentioned tracking down discontinued cigars here that other shops no longer stocked. Smoking accessories round out the lineup. Ask anyone who orders online and they'll tell you the packaging is better than most.

We've heard about cigars arriving in perfect shape, tucked into a humidified bag, sometimes with a free cutter and even a little scratch-off card thrown in. Word around Miami is that the care taken here beats the big-name sites, and the website itself is straightforward, no clutter, what you read is what you get. The service earns steady praise too. People find the team quick to answer questions and genuinely easy to deal with, and Catherine, the store manager, has a name locals trust for making things right when an order needs sorting.

Now and then we've heard the odd grumble about a return or refund dragging out, but that's the exception, and the folks who've done business here for seven, even ten years keep coming back for a reason. For a cigar shop in Miami that pairs a deep bench of brands with real attention to how your order arrives, Cigars Crafters is worth knowing.
