The Best cigar shop, and best cigars, in the USA! Franklin is a master! His namesake cigars are better than anything you can buy… anywhere. He makes you feel like family. I’ve known him and been buying his blend for over a decade, and he and his shop are a hidden Gem. But if you know… you know! He, and his staff, are just the best! Lots of love for Papo (aka Franklin)! Great cigars and better person! Super knowledgeable even for new smokers, not pushy and truly able to educate anyone on what to smoke! It’s just the best.

Reminds me of the cigar stores in Ybor City, Tampa, FLA. Modest selection of cigars from big name brands but the highlight of the store are the beauties hand-rolled on the premises. Also has a lot of accessories for yourself or as a gift to your favorite cigar lover. Nice walk-in humidor. Large lounge to enjoy your smoke and relax. Outdoor area to enjoy your choice of cigars outside. Friendly and knowledgeable staff who can answer questions and help get you a cigar to suit your tastes.
