Am writing this after reading a few reviews and need to weigh in on a few things…read more 1. Any comments regarding racial discrimination at this lounge is BULLSHIT. I'm a Black man and I have been treated with respect and dignity from my very first visit (over 2 years ago) right until tonight. I suspect it's because when I come here I treat everyone with respect and dignity. You have to give respect to get it. That's not news if you were raised properly. 2.if I have to make or take a phone call, I step out of the lounge. No one needs to hear my conversations and I don't want anyone to hear them. That's not a new custom, it's just good sense and good manners. 3. I have literally smoked cigars all over the world. Cutter's etiquette is no different than any other place I've frequented. 4. Snooty is not an adjective that applies here. This place is open to ANYONE that knows how to act as a gentleman or lady- anyone. 5. If you can't understand any of this, then Cutter's is probably not the place for you. Finally, this is a great lounge. The friends I've made here cross the color spectrum and are just good men. Four of them literally saved my life. This a shop filled with good people. My advice, if you're a jerk, go somewhere else. I don't want to smoke with you.

Our server Gabby was great. Cigar Aficionado has given this gem the best of Ybor twice. Tim and I think Cigar Aficionado should look beyond Ybor when judging Sterling.

This place has two rooftops ( which in spring & fall ) nights will be very comfortable. There are actually two rooftop's at this location and I highly recommend.

This place is grown and sexy so be respectful of such a beautiful place.

Then sit back in the many seats they have ( window, sidewalk, bar, or lounge) and enjoy your stick. CIAO FOR NOW

I'm visiting here from Southern California. Let me tell you that this is an outstanding selection…read moreof cigars! This is the absolute best selection of cigars I've ever been into in any cigar local small business cigar lounge. I have never seen such a huge selection of cigars like this back in SoCal. When you walk into the store, half of the store is a humidified selection of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of cigars strategically organized by the owner. He also has a nice closed off area with a lot of nice over stuffed chairs to hang out and read and smoke and such. There's also a small bar area where you can enjoy some drinks if you wish. Overall, as far as the amount of cigars available, it's the best I've ever seen. If you're in the area, you have to check this place out, and you won't be disappointed. And the cigars are not just a high priced cigar collection, it's a nice balance of a selection of premium higher priced cigars, as well as affordable priced cigars around 5,6,&7 dollars as well. Fabulous place! May the Lord continue to bless you.

Visited for the first time during their monthly "customer appreciation event". The total experience…read morewas perfect. Ownership made themselves available amongst all present while sitting, smoking and talking with all as well as serving whoever needed anything. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure every patron is fully informed, happy and receives the best service. Of course the main reason all visit are for their premium cigars. Unlike most cigar shops they don't rely on liquor, other consumables and merchandise to make cigars the "add on" rather than the Star as these sticks blended by ownership and handmade in Nicaragua should be. While the quality is premium the cost is not and that's another thing lost in the "Cigar Add On" lounges. If you're in Ybor or just want a tremendous cigar in a Real "Cigar Shop(like the old time")go to Tabanero and experience it all. You will surely be bringing some home with you after smoking such premium blends so make room in the humidor or just get another one LOL.

There was a couple people ahead of us and a lot of people that ended up coming in behind us. The two staffers were nice.

Maybe one day i will come back and grab a cigar with coffee.
