PCB Cigars 2

Ask anyone who spends their evenings with a good cigar in Panama City Beach and PCB Cigars 2 comes up fast. This is Peter and Rinku's second location, and it has quickly become one of the most talked-about cigar lounges on the beach. The building is brand new, roomy, and set up with great air circulation, so you can settle in and actually relax while you smoke. There's an indoor lounge and an outdoor patio, plenty of seating in both, and the kind of easy atmosphere that welcomes first-time smokers and longtime aficionados the same way.

The humidor is the real draw. Locals will tell you the selection runs the full range, from everyday affordable sticks to rare, hard-to-find brands you won't turn up anywhere else in town. Fans of Southern Draw find their favorites here, and if you're not sure what you're after, Peter's recommendations tend to land exactly where you want them. One regular pointed people toward a Limpert Maduro and swore by it.

Alongside the cigars, they stock quality smoking accessories, including sharp-looking ashtrays and the gear serious smokers appreciate. Then there's the bar. People who shop here rave about the well-stocked, diverse setup, with bourbon, whiskey, a big liquor lineup, and a solid run of craft beer. More than a few folks have singled out the old fashioned as worth every bit of it.

Word around Panama City Beach is that Peter's son runs the bar with the same warm, personal touch the whole family brings, and the owners working the floor is a big part of why regulars keep coming back. Peter's customer service gets steady praise, and he'll even ship for you, which travelers passing through appreciate. We've heard the odd grumble about a rough exchange, but that runs against the grain of what nearly everyone else describes here: knowledgeable, sincere, genuinely into what they do. Whether you live nearby or you're in town on vacation, it's an easy place to meet both locals and visitors over a good smoke.
