Miami Cigar Store

If you want someone who actually knows cigars, ask for William at Miami Cigar Store. Locals will tell you he's the real deal, the kind of proprietor who can size up what you like and point you to something you've never tried. One fellow who wandered in while traveling from Houston came in a devoted Arturo Fuente fan and walked out five minutes later with a new favorite. William showed him the full Fuente lineup, all the way up to the OpusX, then suggested an Ashton Symmetry in Belicoso, and the guy has been grateful ever since.

That's the kind of hands-on guidance people come here for. The selection runs deep. Plenty of Fuente sticks, Ashton, and a good range of kinds and sizes to work through. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll tell you William is friendly and genuinely helpful, happy to talk you through the inventory rather than just ring you up.

More than one person around town has called it the best place to buy cigars in Miami, and it's easy to see why folks keep coming back. Now, we'll be straight with you: opinion isn't unanimous. We've heard the odd grumble about pricing and a customer or two who didn't warm to the service. The overall word around Miami leans strongly positive, and this shop keeps its solid reputation for a reason.

If you're after a great cigar and someone who knows the difference between one stick and the next, this is a fine stop.
