Florida…where they roll Tatuajes and other cigars.

I'd suggest Key West. Not sure how inexpensive that would be, but it would make a great (yes, "fabulous"

) vacation and there are many boutique cigar shops (see link.)

I really like Key West and always enjoy a short** visit, but I found most of the cigar stores to be below average. I found one cigar store that also sold wine and they had a well-maintained, if very small humidor and I did buy some sticks.

I found three or four other stores that I walked into, turned around, and walked out. Maybe things have changed in the year since I was last there...

I would go back again (and plan to) but I would bring my own sticks.

** I have only been there as a port-of-call on a cruise -- it seems too expensive to stay there for any length of time

Island Smoke Shop in Key Largo is a outstanding B&M managed by a member here(madurofan).

I can't speak to Island Smoke Shop since I've never been there but Bill is a stand-up BOTL and personal friend.

(well, he's stand-up until he gets into the rum.

)

spent 9 days here a couple of years back with my wife. Stayed in an over water bungalow at the then Bora Bora Nui. I took cigars and had a blast. It is very very pricey though at about 1600 a night back then.

Work in the travel industry and got the hotel for 450/night. So we saved a bundle but it was a great time!

I apologize if my comments came over poorly... I was not trying put anyone or anything down. In all likelyhood I did not give these B&M's a fair chance and should have looked at them a little more.
