Corona Cigar Company & Drew Estate Lounge

Corona Cigar Company & Drew Estate Lounge is one of the highest-regarded cigar spots in Orlando, and it earns that reputation the honest way. Ask anyone who has spent an afternoon here and the first thing they mention is the humidor: an enormous lineup of cigars, including rare sticks that folks say they cannot track down anywhere else. The staff know their stuff too. Regulars ask for people like Ryan, who will help you pick out something to smoke onsite and a few more to take home, and the whole team has a real depth of knowledge without any of the attitude you sometimes get at high-end shops.

This is as much a lounge as a shop. There is a full bar, and people who spend time here rave about the whiskey and scotch selection, the cocktails, and bartenders like Nicky, who has a way of making first-timers feel like they have been coming for years. It is the kind of place where you settle in, get into a good conversation with the person next to you, and lose track of the hours. Word around Orlando is that Jeff B.

Built something special here, and the clean, well-organized space backs that up. There is plenty of parking and outdoor seating, and folks enjoy watching the exotic cars roll through. We hear the shop keeps late hours, with people happily walking in around midnight midweek and settling in for a smoke, so it is a solid stop if your schedule runs long. There is the occasional event too, like scotch samplings paired with a featured brand.

One honest note we have picked up: on a busy night the lounge can get pretty smoky, so the ventilation is something to keep in mind if that matters to you. Beyond that, people travel for this place, and travelers passing through Orlando often make it their spot the moment they walk in.
