Miami Cigar Shop - Neptune Cigars

If you're hunting for a serious cigar shop in Pinecrest, Miami Cigar Shop - Neptune Cigars has built a strong reputation across the area, and it earns it. Ask anyone who shops here and the first thing they mention is the staff. Guys like Eric and Joe take real time with people, if you're a seasoned smoker or picking out your very first cigar for a special occasion. One first-timer walked in unsure of what he even wanted and left with a recommendation that hit exactly right.

That kind of patient, no-pressure guidance keeps people coming back. The selection is deep and thoughtfully organized. You'll find cigars displayed with details and brand information right there, so browsing is easy. The lineup on the shelves runs across names like 1502, 601, Acid, Aganorsa Leaf, Casa Fernandez, Aging Room, AJ Fernandez, Aladino, Alec Bradley, Ashton and plenty more.

Locals will tell you this is some of the best cigar stock in Miami, and if they don't have what you're after, the team will track it down. Beyond the cigars, they carry the accessories to go with them, including humidors, and folks have found the staff generous with setup tips and the occasional discount. There's a lounge here too, and by all accounts it's a comfortable spot with a good crowd to sit and talk with. One customer planning a Havana Nights party said the crew went well beyond the usual to bring her cigar-bar vision to life.

We have heard the rare grumble, one long-time regular felt nickel-and-dimed over a small matter at checkout, but that's the exception in a place people otherwise describe as their only stop for cigars. If you're anywhere near Pinecrest or the greater Kendall area, this one's an easy recommendation. Knowledgeable people, a big shop, and a selection worth taking your time with.
