![]() While I love the store, I’m not sure if I’ll go back. I just wanted to let others know the experience I had there. I don't believe that corporate stopped their discount program. I can’t tell you how disappointed I was in the managers decision not to provide a discount this time. He wouldn’t budge so I regrettably and reluctantly paid full price for the cigars and left the store. The manager came up with some excuse that corporate no longer authorizes discounts and that his hands are tied. His manager came over and I told him that every time I come in, he approves a discount because I spend a good deal of money at this store each time I shop. Once again, I asked about It and the clerk said he would have to get his manager to approve it. Today I spent over $305 on cigars and the clerk did not apply any discount nor did he offer it to me. ![]() They do a dog and pony show where the clerk calls the manager over and they make a big deal out of it. Corona cigar company has, on most occasions, offered a 10% discount on my total bill, but it's always been a "process" to get the manager to honor the discount. I shop there every couple of months to restock my humidor. I heard it gets busy and more of a bar atmosphere at night.I frequently shop at corona cigar company in Heathrow and my average spend for cigars is about $250 per visit. So I would consider this place kid friendly if you are traveling with little ones. We also had our 2yo son with us at the time and while we didn`t allow him into the smokey restaurant and bar area he did enjoy some plantain chips outside on the patio with us. However, it does come served in a cool Ashton cigar box and the overall experience was well worth the price. The sandwich was nothing special and a bit pricey, but, we are spoiled since we have had better and cheaper in Cuba. Smoked a cigar outside while enjoying a Cuban sandwich and a few drinks. They also threw some freebies into the bag. The staff is very friendly and will cut and light your cigar for you so that you can smoke while you shop. Monte Cigars offer a bolder and more complex profile compared to other Montecristo cigars. You may find cheaper cigar prices elsewhere but, we are from Canada so the prices are MUCH cheaper here than at home.

There is aisle after aisle of cigars and my husband spent quite a while browsing. Stopped here as a date for me and my husband. The selection always lures me in while I am in town. There are also tables outside and of course a full bar. There is a small bar area, tightly packed high top tables and a very small sofa and chair seating area tucked in a corner. But the ambiance, energy and selection is often worth the trade off for this place. ![]() Other cigar bars around the country have clearly invested in this feature. Regardless, the place is lively but needs better ventilation. I appreciate a staff member that is there to talk with and chat knowingly about cigars, and a couple of guys here were once they understood I did in fact know what I was talking about but one in particular ignored me at the counter with over $300 in cigars in front of me to instead chat with a male tourist buying a single Macanudo. However, as a female, I can be viewed by staff at places like this as a cigar rookie or asked if "I am buying them for my boyfriend." That is hardly the case here. They have an excellent selection and prices and a knowledgable staff. ![]() A must stop while I am in Central Florida. ![]()
