Cigarz On the Avenue

I stopped in here while I was at Park Avenue on this Sunday afternoon. The selection of cigars is great. Whether it be Cohiba, Davidoff, Arturo Fuente, Macanudo, Ashton, CVO, Romeo y Julieta, or any other top brand of cigar, you will find it here. A good selection of accessories, such as cigar cutters and lighters are also available. The service is friendly, and the staff are helpful with finding you a cigar to your liking. Cigarettes are also sold here, including import brands.
The interior is dark, from the wood floor and the leather chairs, up to the black ceiling tile. Track lighting illuminates the cigar humidors, and a few of the display cases are lighted as well.
You can purchase cigars to enjoy at home, or you can smoke your cigar there. As you walk in, there are six leather chairs around a table with lighters and ash trays provided for you. And the employees are more than happy to cut your cigar for you. There is also a lounge in the back where you can smoke your cigar. And read the Sunday paper. Like one gentleman was doing on my visit. It is nice to be able to go into a lounge and smoke a cigar in a air conditioned environment.
Even though Cigarz has a great ventilation system, it still gets smokey. A caution to those that can get easily uncomfortable in a smokey environment. And being on Park Avenue, cigars here are pricey. But like I said, most of the cigars for sale here are top of the line from some of the best cigar manufacturers. Otherwise, the store and lounge area is very clean. And Cigarz also makes for a good place to people watch as Park Avenue patrons walk past the window while you kick back and smoke a stogie.
On my visit, there were several regular customers seated around the front lounge area, smoking their select brand. But do not be timid. If there is a available chair, you are more than welcome to sit.
The only problem I have with Cigarz On The Avenue is that its location is a drive from my residence. But if I am near Park Avenue, I would most likely stop in and visit.
Providing I can find a place to park!

If you are looking for a premium cigar or just something to enjoy while playing golf, this is your place. Cigarz On the Avenue is located on the South end of Park Ave. next to Pottery Barn. Its staff is very knowledgeable about every cigar in the place and if you are interested they will give you the exact tobacco used in every stick. They have two lounges inside that are perfect for enjoying your purchase. I found the prices to be fair and their selection of high end cigars amazing. I was looking for something special for a friend’s birthday and I was hooked up with a selection of perfect smokes to chose from. If you are a casual cigar smoker or every day smoker, there is something for you here.

I love this little cigar shop. My boyfriend and I have been here quite a few times and the owner Don, is always there ready and willing to help with any questions and to make suggestions. He has never once led us astray or treated us poorly. (I’m sorry for you previous reviewers that said you experienced a less than satisfactory visit). I believe all the cigars Don has are top notch and the pricing is the same when compared to the major franchise, Corona. I find it amazing that he is able to keep his prices so low for his location (Park Ave) and the fact that he can’t stock as much as the larger stores.
The lounge area is small but it’s comfy with the leather sofas and chairs. It feels like you’re sitting in someone’s living room really. Plus, there’s an outdoor patio in the back which is nice to sit at and have a cold drink from Palmano’s, next door. I like the location and whenever I’m in Winter Park I always stop by and say hi. They treat me like family here and I would rather give the small stores my business than the large chains and franchises.

Nice cigar store on Park Avenue. On our last stop in they had a live rolling event going on. Great way to try a freshly hand rolled cigar.

I can’t speak to the bad things that others ran into, because I didn’t run into any of that at all. Frankly, I know what I’m looking for, I’m just visiting for the weekend, and I needed a decent smoke. I was pleased with the selection, the prices were fine, and the staff were nice enough. They were neither rude nor wonderful. They were just fine. I was able tog et a good cigar at a decent price, cut it, and get a box of matches. Perfect when you’re travelling and don’t put nice lighters and cutters in your suitcase. If I’m back in this area again, I’ll come back for sure.

Avoid this place if you appreciate service, customer care, and warm staff. Unfortunately their Good selection and cool store front is eclipsed by their lack of manners.

If you’re in Winter Park and are a cigar aficionado, or just the casual cigar smoker, this is a must stop. Excellent current and diverse inventory. The owner is very knowledgeable and quite helpful. Lastly the prices are very reasonable despite the fact it is located in an upscale neighborhood.

This has to be the most openly racist place in Winter Park, the service is rude from unwrapping your cigar and tossing on counter. To patrons making openly racial remarks, one has went has far as to keep asking if I Felt IMPOTENT! VERY RUDE RACISTS A — HOLES IF YOU’RE Black stay away. I cannot believe this place should just put out a KKK sigh, but then the ones making the jokes and being rude are from what I found out are of JEWISH, and the Latin person working there is the one who likes to call you bro and throw your cigar on counter.

Poor customer service. I went to the shop looking for a certain cigar to give for a gift. I told the guy what I was looking for and he showed me the selection for the brand. I said I wanted the light cigars of that brand and he showed me the wrong cigar. When I told him that was not the cigar I was looking for he said it was the one. But the cigar looked to dark compared to what i was looking for. Since the place was so dim, I trusted him and bought the cigars. When I got home I looked at the cigar and had a feeling it was not the right one. I went to another cigar place and the guy told me I was sold the wrong cigar. I was pissed to pay $ 60 to be lied to. I will never go back to the place on Park Ave.

I’ve been a cigar buff for years, and have been to many different shops around the state of Florida. The seating area is small to medium relative to most cigar shops I’ve been to. The customer service is very good and the staff has been friendly every time I’ve gone. The selection is okay at best, but the quality is definitely there. The prices are high. Likely because this place must have rent that’s through the roof, but definitely overpriced.

The great location and nice selection of cigars is over shadowed by the total lack of any level of customer service. Rudeness and indifference is the attitude of this store.

The staff are very knowledgeable and it is in a savory part of town. The selections were mostly all worth smoking– nothing sub-​par.
I would stop in again!

ventured into this little shop in search a cigar similar to that of a Cuban for my boyfriend my roommate as a thank you gift. The pungent smell of tobacco and fresh cigar smoke hit me hard as I walked in. A man standing behind the counter greeted me with a smile, showing his pearly off-​white teeth. I told him what I was looking for and literally in less than a minute he had a cigar in hand and rambled on about the similarities between it and the infamous Cuban kind. Not knowing a lick about cigars, I said wrap it up, paid and left as fast as I could to escape the cigar fumes that filled that store.
My boyfriend and roommate were very pleased with the cigars and the price, which wasn’t cheap but not too expensive either… about $ 18 which is what they usually pay per cigar. According to them, it was «smooth» and tasted decent… not sure what a cigar is supposed to taste like, but they liked it.
Overall, this is a good place to go if you’re in search of a good cigar. The associates are all very knowledgeable and helpful. DO IT!

Cigarz offers the best selection of cigars and specialty cigarettes; they also have your run of the mill brands too. I like to relax in the sitting area and watch the flat screen TV while sipping wine or a beer from Palmano’s next door.
