Fatty's Smoke Shop

Ask anyone who shops here and they'll point you to the corner of 137th and 24th Street, where Fatty's Smoke Shop has built one of the strongest reputations of any tobacco shop in Miami. Close to a perfect record across dozens of folks who walk through the door, and it's easy to understand why once you're inside. The selection is the first thing people mention. Fatty's stocks a big range of cigars, with names like Cohiba, Montecristo, Romeo Y Julieta, Oliva, and NUB on the shelves, plus classics like Backwoods, Swisher Sweets, and Dutch.

Vape folks are well taken care of too, with disposables from Geek Bar, Fume, HQD, Raz, and Dummy Vape among others. If hookah is your thing, they carry shisha from Adalya and Al Fakher, and the rolling paper wall runs deep with Raw, OCB, Blazy Susan, King Palm, and Grabba Leaf. One regular put it plainly: this is a place where you find what you came for and usually a few things you didn't know you needed. If they don't have it, we hear they'll place the order and give you a call when it lands.

The staff is what keeps people loyal, though. Names come up again and again around Kendall: Kim and Gaby up front, Celine who has a following of her own for her recommendations and her humor, and Alex and Alvaro who take the time to walk you through your options without rushing. People drive twenty minutes out of their way for that kind of service, and picky vape buyers say it's worth the trip. Expect them to check your ID, which regulars respect rather than mind.

Prices come up as often as the staff, with locals calling them the best around and better than other spots nearby. Fatty's stays open late too, which makes it an easy stop when the shops closer to home have already locked up. If you're looking for a smoke shop in Miami with real range and people who know their stuff, this one earns the word of mouth it gets.
