Fort Lauderdale's Cigar Scene
Fort Lauderdale's cigar scene is strongest around Las Olas, downtown, the beach, and the east-side Oakland Park and Commercial corridors. The current mix is mostly cigar bars and cigar lounges, with a few serious retail shops that are worth visiting for selection.
Use Las Olas and downtown for full-bar cigar lounges, Fort Lauderdale Beach for a tourist-friendly cigar bar, and east Fort Lauderdale or nearby Pompano for shop-and-lounge options. Prioritize rooms with a real premium cigar humidor and a cigar-focused lounge.

Fort Lauderdale Cigar Tips
Best Times to Visit
Late afternoon and evening are best for Las Olas, downtown, and beach cigar bars. Retail-forward shops are better earlier in the day when staff can walk you through the humidor.
Neighborhoods to Explore
Las Olas and downtown are the core for cigar bars. Fort Lauderdale Beach has a dedicated beach cigar bar. Commercial Boulevard, Oakland Park Boulevard, and Wilton Manors add neighborhood lounges and shops.
What to Experience
Expect full bars, whiskey lists, leather seating, and sports TVs at the strongest cigar bars. For buying boxes or hard-to-find cigars, prioritize Neptune, Cigar Grail, Ash & Vine, Smoke Inn Pompano, or Mancave.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where are the best cigar lounges on Las Olas Boulevard?
The strongest Las Olas-area cigar options are Empire Social Lounge Las Olas and Macabi Cigar Bar. Both are cigar-focused bars/lounges with premium cigars and drinks, rather than ordinary restaurants that happen to allow smoking.
Can I smoke cigars on Fort Lauderdale Beach?
Do not assume the sand or public beach is cigar-friendly. For a beach-area cigar stop, use Beach Cigar Bar at Beach Place, which is a dedicated cigar bar and liquor-store lounge near the beach.
Are there cigar lounges near the Fort Lauderdale cruise port?
Yes. Neptune Cigar SuperStore on South Federal Highway is close to Port Everglades and the airport. Ash & Vine, Downtown Cigar Bar, Macabi, Empire Social Las Olas, and Beach Cigar Bar are also short rides from the cruise-port area.
