We were in the area, I needed some gifts and happened to stumble upon this spot. Can't get better with some nice Caribbean cigars. AMBIANCE Parking: Brickell... so yeah--parking can be a mission. The shop has a shared plaza, so if it's available, you're good! Aside from that, your best bet is nearby garages or walking if you're already in the area. Seating: Small indoor space with some outdoor seating. Not a huge lounge, but enough to post up and enjoy either inside or outside. Vibes: Located right near the heart of Brickell, it gives you that mix of city hustle outside and chill, slow-down energy inside. According to local descriptions, it's a smaller but well-stocked shop with a relaxed atmosphere.Very much a classic cigar shop feel--no frills, no over-the-top aesthetics. It's more about the experience than the look. SELECTIONS: They've got a solid selection of cigars, including some harder-to-find options thanks to long-standing industry connections. If you're just looking for some basic/affordable ones, they have those too! Not overly curated or "luxury lounge" vibes--more authentic, straightforward cigar shop energy. CUSTOMER SERVICE Friendly and helpful. Feels like a spot where they're used to both regulars and newcomers, so they meet you where you're at. TL;DR OVERALL 4 Stars. Solid Brickell cigar stop. I'm not expert but I was impressed by the selections, setup, and service. Not a flashy lounge, but a reliable, well-stocked shop with a chill vibe. Good place to grab and go or slow things down in the middle of a busy area. TIPS: * Ask about recommendations--they've been around and know their cigars read more

Knowledgeable and friendly staff in the downtown Miami area with a wide selection for every tastebud - a true cigar aficionado gem!

This little shop has been in the same place for over 10 years. Before Cigar Aficionado The Magazine, cigars were seen as exotic, foreign, and were considered smelly and to taste terrible. The perception stemmed out of poor control by retailers, who would sell old cigars, dry cigars, broken cigars, and sometimes just bad and moldy cigars. No wonder not many people liked them. To be able to find a good cigar, if you were brave enough, you needed to know where to go to find a fresh cigar or a shop where cigars were stored properly. Absolute Cigar was the shop. In the Brickell/Downtown area, it may still be the shop to go to. Whenever I am around I don't hesitate to stop by and say hello to those that have been providing the best cigars in the area for the past 10 years. So what do you find here? Well, all the major brands, all the sizes, and a strong selection of Davidoff and Padron, which are old school but are classics. Also, local cigar companies are showcased, featuring good quality and good taste. In short, Absolute Cigar has good quality cigars plentiful, and good deals all around. read more

Old school neighborhood cigar shop where the owner--Mauricio knows everything about cigars and has a true passion for making his clients happy. Check out the chairs inside and out. A liquor store next door sells single serving single malt scotch. And the prices are very reasonable. read more

Absolute Cigar Shop - Montrcristo Jacobo - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Miam, Florida

Tomey at the Brickell location was externally rude. This guy accused me of not buying my pardon cigar. Publicly embarrassed me and threw my keys outside. Also called the cops when the cops came they said they were busy and couldn't help him so he threatened me saying if he sees me in public he will harm me. This was extremely embarrassing. I will pursue civil action as recommended by law enforcement. This guy runs a cigar shop like it's a hooligans bar. You can tell he hates his job. The guy was not even visible when I arrived, he comes out of not where screaming yelling and throw my keys on the outside ground damaging my key fobs. read more

They work in conjunction with this bottom of the barrel tow company. I parked in front the cigar store and they shared UNAUTHORIZED PHOTOS of me and my child. Attempted to say I left my car for too long although I was inside the shopping plaza i still got a boot. Don't shop here... all other businesses are legit. But the cigar place isn't they get mad if you don't shop with them read more

Apparently their closing time is irrelevant and the owner is more occupied with treating his friends. I was there at 1045

Absolute Cigar Shop - Enjoying a smoke. - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Miam, Florida

Stopped in there the other night and met Mauricio. Very knowledgable guy and pleasant staff. After purchasing a couple smokes they gave me a couple new boutique cigars to try as well. I reciprocated and gave him a cigar from Mabel Gomez from the Gomez-Sanchez cigar family. Mabel is a 3rd generation roller and makes very tasty cigars in Cape Coral where I live. She's got the knack putting together excellent tasting smokes. read more

Go there if you want your car to be booted. There is a scam "company" more than shady who is waiting to steal your money booting you car. Even if you shop there you will pay $90 because they'll put "illegally"locks on your wheels. Even showing your receipt to them. They made a life from that scam more than from what they sale. However karma is greater than that. read more

People in the know in Miami only buy cigars from this old fashion shop. The owner is a very knowledgeable Cuban gentleman who is so very patient and happy to explain the intricacy of a fine cigar.

Awful experience. The service is very rude. Don't waste your money there. The quality of the products is cheap. Parking there is a nightmare also. In 15 minutes That I was there I saw maybe 6 cars with locked tires. There is a booting car company looking for people to scam. read more

My favorite cigar shop! Best prices in town, they carry a huge selection. I love this place because they treat the customers as a family.

I asked someone sitting out in front of a Starbucks down the street where I could get a good cigar. They mentioned 2 places across the street but said they were tourist traps. They said, "if your willing to walk 100 yards, turn left and next to the Burger King is the best little cigar shop in town". Being the thrill seeker I am, I ventured on over, walked in and at 1st I admit, was a little intimidated with the crowd and the cigar selection but quickly felt at home and at ease when I struck up a conversation with a few guys sitting in comfy leather chairs smoking cigars. I asked them to help me pick a good medium cigar, and proceeded to sit for 2 hours enjoying the ambiance and conversation. I never once felt out of place or uncomfortable and the guys made an "out of towner" feel welcome. The cigar selection was outstanding and if you crave a cocktail with your cigar, walk next store to the liquor store. Thank you George, Mauricio, Joe, Ron, Pete the cop, and John the cell phone guy. I look forward to another visit the next time I am in Miami. read more

While the selection of cigars is pretty extensive the place is rundown and dirty. There is limited seating and the place was as smoky as any place I have ever been and there were only two people smoking. The owner seems to be a nice elderly gentleman although he moves very slowly. What turned me off is that while I was perusing the cigar selection the owner sneezed next to me without covering his nose and snot flew everywhere. I was grossed out and left immediately after buying a couple of cigars (wrapped in cellophane), I will not be going back to this establishment. Oh and the bathroom was a mess. read more

I've traveled my fair share and enjoy going into the local cigar shops around the world. The Absolute Cigar Shop may be small but is packed with high quality cigars, premium cigarettes, high quality lighters, cigarette cases and a knowledgable friendly staff. They have a cozy sitting area to visit with locals while enjoying a smoke. These guys are Top Shelf! read more
