We're proud of our large and friendly retail outlet, with the best selection of cigars in the Keys! Stop in and see us when you visit South Florida! And as large as our retail store is, we're proud of being one of the smallest cigar manufacturers in the world. Our private factory doesn't make millions of cigars per year in some third-world country. Instead, we've chosen to make the world's best cigar (SMOKE Magazine - Winter, 2000) right here in the U.S. - one cigar at a time.

Looking for premium cigars at a great price? Look no further. We have a great selection (1200 brands) of your favorite premium cigars in stock!

As for our El Original brand, our 6-country blend was developed by the legendary Havana Master, Santiago Cabana, using some of the finest tobaccos available. Cuban tobacco? Who needs it? We've skillfully combined selected leaves from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Honduras, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru (our secret ingredient) into a blend so rich you'll think you're smoking a Cuban! How do we do it? By employing the best Cuban cigar rollers in the world - right here in the US! Unlike the workers in large factories in third-world countries, our rollers take real pride in their work, and it shows in every cigar.

In January 2000, SMOKE Magazine rated 57 different Maduro Cigars (a dark, rich wrapper) from every major manufacturer in the world... Our EL ORIGINAL received the HIGHEST RATING of ALL Maduro Cigars - including Cubans!.

But we haven't stopped there! Taste our premium cigar, the SANTIAGO CABANA. It's back to basics in this new release of an old blend rated "90" by Cigar Aficionado in 1996. You'll taste the sweetness of Dominican Ligero and the earthiness of rich Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos, wrapped in a silky and rich wrapper from Ecuador (Claro, Natural) or Mexico (naturally aged Maduro).

On a budget? We have a great assortment of bundled cigars that meet any budget.

Stop in and see us when you visit the Florida Keys (we're at mile-marker 103.4 in Key Largo's "Pink Plaza") and see the LARGEST  Walk-in humidor in South Florida! We carry the BEST selections of premium brands you'll find anywhere!

So, come on by and visit us at the shop. Relax, and have a cigar in our air-conditioned customer seating area. Smoking is not only allowed in the store - it's encouraged!
