The Luxe Approach

Cigar enthusiasts and newbies alike will go weak at the knees at the sight of the inventory of stogies at Casa De Montecristo by Prime Cigar & Whiskey Bar. The premier cigar lounge boasts its very own walk-in humidor lined with the finest cedar hardwood and filled with shelves upon shelves of world-class brands like La Flor Dominicana, Rocky Patel and more. 1100 S.

Local Veteran

A Lincoln Road staple, Deco Drive Cigars offers guests the option to escape the bustle of the busy promenade and enter its lounge for a smoke and a drink. The top brands are all here, but the venue’s own hand-rolled creations are the way to go. 414 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, 305.531.8388, decodrivecigars.com

Cuban Exports

Havana Nights

While it isn’t solely considered a cigar lounge, Rumbar carries an extensive collection of cigars that just happen to compliment the 50 different types of rums the bar has on hand. The mix of dark wood, leather sofas, Latin tunes and smell of burning fermented tobacco leaf makes this spot at The Ritz-Carlton, Key Biscayne a sure favorite. 455 Grand Bay Drive, Key Biscayne, 305.365.4500, ritzcarlton.com
