Key West Cigar Shops

[zama80]

Anyone have any recommendations for cigar shops in Key West? I will only be there for a day, so I don't want to waste my time if there aren't any worth visiting.

There are two that I like, Key West Cigar Club and Smoke Shop, also known as "Grumpy's (link), and Historic Cigar Alley (link). Both shops are staffed by cool people, and have a pretty good selection of smokes. Historic Cigar Alley also has a great selection of craft beer. Let me know what shop(s) you end up visiting, and what you think of them.

DEFINITELY Key West Cigar Club. The guys that work there are awesome, especially the guy that sits out front yelling "FRESH HAND ROLLED CIGARS". Good folks to converse with. And the "fish bowl" to sit in front is AWESOME to smoke and watch the world go by.
One of my favorite smoking places of all time.

It was very cool sitting in the window smoking in the barber chair.

Island Smoke Shop is a cool place, ask for Bill. Their house line, El Original, are pretty solid.

I'd have to agree with the Key West Cigar Club and Smoke Shop. I spent a week in KW and I enjoyed my morning cigar time there with the guys at the shop. I also spent some morning smoke time at Cigar City by Mallory Square. I don't know if he is still there, but "Cigar John" was a good guy to hang out with a smoke.

You'd be surprised how many cigar shops they have there. There are also a few cigar stands along the road on Duval street. Have fun and enjoy yourself.

I agree that it's a cool place, but it's in Key Largo.

I go here every year and you are getting some good advice. I love Key West as it's a very cigar oriented area and there are more than enough cigar places to look around and try their house brands. Don't forget the Key Lime Pie.....

Thanks everyone for all the tips. Can't wait to hit these shops up. I found most of them when I did a google search, but it is nice to get reviews from people I trust. Thanks again.

Gracias, my bad.

No worries; if your time in the Keys is anything like mine, it can be difficult to remember where you are most of the time!
