El Arte del Habano Cigars

If you're after a proper cigar experience in Miami, El Arte del Habano Cigars has quietly become one of the most beloved spots in Southwest Kendall, out near Country Walk and the metro zoo. The word around town is that this is one of the highest-regarded cigar shops in the area, and once you spend an afternoon here, it's easy to see why. At the center of it all is the owner, Armando Luis, known to regulars as "Mandy." Ask anyone who shops here and they'll tell you he's the real deal, a true expert who makes the place feel like a home away from home. One couple came in looking for a gift to send friends in Korea, and Mandy personally walked them through a mix of ten cigars that fit their budget, then helped them pick out the boxes to match.

That kind of hands-on attention is what keeps people coming back. New to cigars? Locals will tell you Mandy takes the time with your questions, and more than a few first-timers have left as regulars. The selection is a big part of the draw, with a wide variety of cigars to choose from, and if they don't have what you're after, we hear the team will track it down for you.

The house blend, named El Arte del Habano just like the shop, has a loyal following of its own, and plenty of folks name it their favorite smoke. Prices are fair too, which regulars appreciate. More than a place to buy, this is a place to sit and stay awhile. People come in to relax and unwind over a good stick and a cup of Cuban coffee, and the atmosphere gets talked up as much as the cigars.

Warm, welcoming, and easygoing, it's the kind of shop where you show up a stranger and leave a regular. Ven y visita tu nueva casa.
