If you want to smoke cigars, you won’t find a bigger and better place than this Fort Lauderdale area cigar bar. People drive from the North, South, and East for this place. If alligator alley didn’t have the nearest west coast cities so far away, well, they would probably drive over too.

The owner also has another sister location in New Orleans, Louisiana, in the French Quarter.
When Hurricane Katrina literally wiped out all three of his stores that he previously had, costing him over one million dollars, he came East. Thankfully, for the residents of Weston and South Florida, because he has the best location of any cigar bar in South Florida.
