Fine Tampa Cigars & Wine

Fine Tampa Cigars & Wine has the kind of feel that stays with you. Ask anyone who has spent an afternoon here and they will tell you the place transports you, like stepping into an old corner of Italy or Cuba from years back. The humidor is well stocked, and locals point to the handmade cigars as the real draw.

There is an unhurried, easygoing rhythm to the lounge that makes it easy to lose track of time. This is more than a cigar shop in Tampa. Alongside the cigars and smoking accessories, the word around town is that they pour organic wines and keep a good range of beer on hand.

Folks rave about the coffee too, from the Cafe Con Leche to the Colada, which is the sort of detail that keeps regulars settling in rather than passing through. It is a clean, comfortable lounge built for relaxing and good conversation. The owners get a lot of love from the people who come through, described again and again as welcoming and genuinely nice, and plenty knowledgeable when you want a steer on what to smoke.

One regular summed it up simply: best place to go if you want to relax and have a good time. We have heard the occasional note that the doors were closed, so it is worth a quick call before you head over, but the folks who shop here clearly hold this spot in high regard, and it has earned a strong reputation in Tampa.
