Florida, Closest to Cuba
Florida—the third most populous state in the United States—lies in the country’s southeast, with Florida Bay along its southern edge. Across the water sits Cuba, the homeland of cigars. That relative proximity has, over the years, helped make Florida a natural gateway for tobacco entering the U.S.—and a long-standing magnet for cigar lovers.
Then there’s the lifestyle: mild winters, beach-town energy, and a vacation culture that’s all about slowing down. In an era where public smoking is increasingly restricted, Florida still offers places where you can enjoy the “holy trinity” in one setting: a fine cigar, good company, and a quality pour.
Here are three cigar lounges in Florida worth building into your next itinerary.
Angry Moon Cigars – Zino Platinum Lounge (Palm Beach Gardens)
Zino’s Angry Moon Cigars—home to a Zino Platinum Lounge—sits in Palm Beach Gardens, right near the water. Inside, the vibe leans classic and upscale, with live piano and weekend performances that make the lounge feel more like an evening venue than a simple cigar shop.
The cigar selection is extensive, led by Davidoff as the flagship brand, with additional favorites such as Ashton and Padrón. The bar program is a serious highlight, featuring rare collectible wines and 100+ premium aged Scotch labels. Coffee is also served, ground on-site. If you want food, you’ll find a light menu in-house, and an adjacent restaurant next door (non-smoking).
Design details seal the experience: heavy dark wood, classic wallpaper, carved humidors and doors, oversized artwork, and large crystal chandeliers. A broad central bar is surrounded by brown leather stools, with classic leather sofas and armchairs completing the look—like a refined gentlemen’s club with a coastal address. Outdoor seating is available, too, with comfortable rattan chairs.
Address: 2401 PGA Blvd., Suite 188, Palm Beach Gardens, FL

Executive Cigar Shop & Lounge (Sanford)
Along the St. Johns River in Sanford, Executive Cigar Shop & Lounge delivers a crisp, modern contrast—minimalist lines, bright light, and an emphasis on premium inventory.
Light-wood humidors line the walls with a strong roster of brands: Davidoff, Arturo Fuente, Cohiba, Rocky Patel, La Flor Dominicana, and La Aurora, among others. The bar is backed by a modern ventilation system designed to keep cigar aromas and spirits from competing, and the menu covers the classics plus a few local twists. Expect a full range of global whiskies and bourbons, a notably wide selection of rum and tequila, and additional staples including vodka, gin, and beer.
Visually, the lounge is bold and graphic: a white structure with large windows overlooking the river, a long central bar, black flooring, black-upholstered metal barstools, modern black leather seating, and standing metal ashtrays. There’s also a terrace with river views—an easy place to settle in for a long smoke.
Membership perks include access to a VIP meeting-style lounge that can host up to 25 guests, quarterly premium tastings, and even participation in shaping the next quarter’s cigar lineup. Members may bring up to three guests, and both members and guests receive 25% off cigars, plus complimentary humidor storage. Non-members can rent humidor space as well.
Address: 225 W Seminole Blvd. #1108, Sanford, FL

Fuma Cigar Social (Tallahassee)
Florida’s capital is Tallahassee, and in the Midtown district you’ll find Fuma Cigar Social—a club-style lounge and shop built for relaxed, all-level enjoyment.
The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with a large walk-in humidor stocked for both newer smokers and seasoned enthusiasts. Inventory includes Cuban icons such as Cohiba, Romeo y Julieta, and Montecristo, alongside a broad selection of premium non-Cuban brands including Oliva, Ashton, Perdomo, Rocky Patel, Padrón, and Hoya de Nicaragua. Rare premium lines and limited releases also appear in the mix. Advanced air filtration keeps the room comfortable without stripping away the cigar experience, and the lounge emphasizes environmentally mindful practices.
Beyond cigars, you’ll find a strong beverage offering: wine, beer, and premium Cuban coffee. The soundtrack runs throughout the day, shifting with the hour. Warm lighting, deep leather seating, and communal viewing on a wide screen encourage long stays—and if you like to pair your cigar with a little strategy, chessboards and dedicated card tables are part of the setup.
Address: 1307 N Monroe St., Tallahassee, FL
Phone: (850) 765-5756

Closing note
If you’re building a Florida cigar trip, consider anchoring your days around the coast (Palm Beach), a river-view session (Sanford), and a capital-city lounge night (Tallahassee). Different moods—same ritual.
