Central Cigars, St. Petersburg, FL
"Central Cigars" cigar bar in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida
offers a fun, relaxing atmosphere where you can share the
camaraderie of fellow smokers, play billiards and enjoy
top-shelf libations. It's like the "Cheers" of cigar bars,
"where everybody knows your name". I paid a visit with my friend
Tagore and his charmingly cute sister, Simone, whom we all
agreed is a professional heartbreaker.
St. Petersburg is one of my favorite West Coast destinations in
Florida. The beaches of soft white sand, and inviting turquoise
waters make for some of the best beaches in Florida. Fort DeSoto
Park ranks in the top ten beaches in the United States. Also in
St. Pete, the world's largest collection of the artist Salvador
Dali's works can be seen at the Salvador Dali Museum, and the
Florida International Museum houses a permanent Kennedy Gallery
exhibit, complete with a replica of the Oval Office. (I must go
there and find the stash of Cuban cigars.)
The downtown area of St. Petersburg has an array of shops,
restaurants and museums. On a Saturday night, downtown St. Pete
is party-central. Music spills into the air while club patrons
overflow into the street from the clubs and many outdoor cafés.
It makes for great people watching and puts us in a festive mood
as Tagore and I head for Central Cigars, which is located on
Central Avenue, of course. Simone met up with us later to share
drinks and swap stories about dealings with the opposite sex.
The retail area of Central Cigars has an extensive collection of
some the finest premium cigars. As a matter of fact, I jumped at
the chance to purchase two smokes that I haven't seen at several
other establishments. I bought two CAO cigars; the CAO Brazilia
Anaconda (read my review here) or (buy it here) and the CAO
Italia, which I haven't smoked as of this writing. My choice of
smoke to enjoy while hanging out at Central Cigars was the La
Gloria Cubana Serie R Maduro No. 7, as I knew it would last
about 2 hours.
Central Cigars has been in business for 8 years, and our host
this evening, David Ludwig, has been there for seven of those
years. Not only does David have
a great knowledge of the cigars,
sundries and libations, but with his history at the business, he
has lots of great stories, like the time a fight broke out on
the back patio. David also has a sarcastic, witty charm, which
adds to the personality of the service, and the story-telling.
The surroundings are what you would expect from a cigar bar;
posh and "clubby".
There are several areas to enjoy yourself at Central Cigars.
There is sidewalk seating in front, where you can enjoy the
outdoors and do some people watching while you smoke. Just
inside the front entrance is the retail section where you can
shop 15 different brands the over 100 cigars they represent.
After the retail section you walk through swinging doors,
reminiscent of the "Old West" saloons, albeit considerably
shorter, into the cigar bar. This is where you can have your
cigar expertly clipped and lit for you, while you order your
drink accompaniment. I am amused by the signs throughout that
read, "Cigar Smoking Only".
Continuing our tour, the next accommodation we encounter is the
handsome, polished wooden cigar lockers for members only. For
$500 per year, you can store your premium stogies right here.
Beyond this, we enter another room that includes large leather
chairs, large-screen TVs and billiards tables. This is the
smoking den. There is also a back court yard, and a private
members room is under construction as of this writing.
If you are going to be in St. Petersburg, be sure to visit
Central Cigars, 273 Central Ave., St. Petersburg, FL 33701 and
