THE FIRST CIGAR FACTORY IN THE U.S. WAS IN FLORIDA

The first major cigar factory in the United States wasn’t in New York or California it was in Key West, Florida in the mid-1800s.

Cuban immigrants brought their cigar-making expertise with them and set up operations just 90 miles from Havana. Thanks to its proximity to Cuba, Key West quickly became a booming hub for hand-rolled cigars, even earning the nickname “Cigar City” before Tampa took over that title later on.

At its peak, Key West was producing over 100 million cigars a year, making it one of the largest cigar-producing cities in the world at the time.

It’s a reminder that some of the deepest roots of cigar culture in the U.S. are right here in Florida.

STEALS OF THE WEEK

Discover the perfect pairing with our 2-count sampler, featuring the exquisite Blend No. 8 and the rich Blend No. 12. 

Blend No. 8 offers a beautiful natural Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper that delivers a smooth, creamy experience with subtle hints of sweetness—perfect for those who enjoy a milder smoke.

Blend No. 12, on the other hand, showcases an Ecuadorian Habano that brings a bolder, more complex flavor profile, with spice and richness that will satisfy even the most discerning palate.

Don’t miss the chance to try both blends and find your new favorite. Elevate your cigar experience today!

Step into the neon glow and turn up the heat with the all-new Mago Vice by El Mago Cigars—a Smoke Inn exclusive that hits like a midnight cruise down Ocean Drive. A habano binder locks in a trio of Nicaraguan fillers from Estelí, Condega, and Jalapa—each one adding its own rhythm to the ride. Expect waves of rich earth, flashes of spice, and hints of cocoa sweetness that roll in like warm ocean air. It’s a medium to full-bodied experience with a silky edge, delivering complexity that builds like a synth line in a late-night anthem.

Allegiance is rolled with an 8th priming Sumatra wrapper from the area of Quevedo, Ecuador paired with Nicaraguan binders and fillers. Allegiance is a medium-to-full bodied cigar that is complex, flavorful, and offers the smoker notes of spice, nut, sweetness and a slight hint of black coffee.

The Oliva 5-Star sampler is a delicious assortment of the best Nicaraguan cigars on the market. 

This sampler includes: 

1 - Oliva Serie G Toro (6" x 50)
