I am going to give this place 3.5 stars due to the waitress not being attentive. After 30 minutes, I stopped smoking my cigar, and I had to go into the business to get the waitress to come out and acknowledge me for a drink. I also wanted to buy a Monte Cristo Platinum cigar, and they didn't have it in stock. The person inside did recommend another cigar, which I enjoyed. read more

We were vacationing in St Pete's and took some time to "chill" at a cigar bar! Greeted immediately by courteous staff and the intoxicating aromas, and the decor was reminiscent of a Cuban Speakeasy. Bar selection was Top Notch! I'm a Bourbon drinker, and was impressed with the rare and hard to find labels on the top shelf. We settled in,ordered drinks and lit up some stogies! We had pleasant conversations with the bartender and also other travelers. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, we were made to feel as if this was our regular hangout! read more

I was visiting downtown St. Pete and wanted cigars. Fortunately, Central Cigars is conveniently located on Central Avenue, just down the street from the location of our hotel. Being that we had been drinking craft beer all day and just finished dinner, we decided to stop in for a drink and something not craft-beer related. I was impressed with the dark-wooden interior, robust cigar selection, and array of different whiskeys to keep me kosher and kind -- kind and kosher. Central Cigars has the ideal location given its vicinity to dozens of bars on the Central Avenue block between 3rd and 1st Street North if you need to balance out the buzz of alcohol with the pull of tobacco. Its lounge is inviting, cozy, and relaxed for patrons who want a breather from the barrage of bar noise and enjoy a good smoke, with its plush leather chairs and bar counter. Central has an extensive selection of cigars, comprising many brands from which you can choose within their temperature/humidity controlled humidor. For my money, I always go for either the Oliva Series V or Padron 1964 Anniversary, depending on what they have available, but Central seems always to have what I seek. Enjoying a smoke while I have either a Balvenie 12 or 1792 on the rocks is the way to go if you ask me, and Central offers the right ambiance, environment to give you the experience for which you seek as a cigar and whiskey aficionado. read more

My apologies but I only took one photo. And it's terrible. I know nothing about cigars but based on the yelp reviews, I went to this location. Surprisingly, I went during the middle of a workday and was able to find decent parking. Upon entering, I was greeted by a lovely a lady. She asked what I was looking for. I told her two sets of gifts and approximate what I wanted to spend. What was amazing, she actually undersold me on products first. Which I really appreciate. And she even explained the different levels of the cigars. I truly appreciate her taking the time to make me feel welcome. If I ever need to purchase cigars for friends again, this will be the spot. read more

Beautiful shop located right in downtown. An entire wall filled with Cigars - an amazing variety and selection. All kept in perfectly humid conditions for cigars. On the other side a just as long bar with all sorts of adult beverages to accompany a wonderful cigar. In the back a huge open spaced smoking room. I used their bathroom and it was both impeccably clean and smelled amazing - also the woman's bathroom in a place where I was the only female. Everyone who worked there was friendly and were attentive enough. Seems like an amazing place and definitely a spot to visit post covid. Scored 3 amazing cigars! read more

I don't like cigars but my brother does so we stop by, as soon I walk in someone ask for me ID and let me in. Minutes later when my brother is enjoying his cigar i decide to go for a beer and the bartender kick me out because my ID expired couple months ago, And I don't even drive. Anyway i walk out and my brother start looking out for me and when he find me outside he brought me a beer, three minutes later like 3 persons from the staff approached us and tell us that we have to leave because of my ID. At this moment we were pissed and outraged we try to explain them that the expiration date has nothing to do with my birthdate and they called police. We left. I just felt discriminated.

Came here after looking at their website. Was interested in their house rolled cigars. Walked in, bartender looked at me and didn't say a thing. I looked around the cases for about 5 minutes. Not my job to ask for help or greet people working there. Walked by the bartender, he glanced at me and walked further away. I left. It's okay, they have plenty of other customers and I have other options. They could use some lessons on how to run a business, though. Wasted $2.35 on a meter parking but that's better than wasting my money on a business who wouldn't appreciate a single dollar. read more

Central Cigars & Cigar Bar is a great choice in downtown St. Petersburg to purchase, smoke cigars and have a cold cocktail all at the same time. Yep, this is definitely a cool place and it looks like an old School speakeasy smoking joint. It's a good thing my brother only dropped me off at the corner to run in and buy cigars otherwise I could have been there a lot longer smoking and drinking and making new friends.

Great place to get cigars. They have a nice selection. Their staff is pretty knowledgeable too and guide you to a nice selection. Be careful about what you pick though because some of their recommendations are a bit pricy. After you pick a cigar walk to the back and see if there is any live music. There usually is. They also have a good whisky selection as well. read more

I am a St. Pete local and I have to say this is by far the worst place downtown. The cigars are overpriced and the service is awful. I order a lukewarm draft beer and a 20 dollar cigar while having the bartender gave me a terrible attitude after asking for a water. She was condescending and horrible to order from. The restroom guy thinks he's from the show Sopranos. He has bummed me over trying to use the restroom and the last time I went there he calls me a tough guy and asked me why I was in "his" line. Total jerk. This was the 3rd time I've had issues with him. Finally I had to approach management. Never go here if you want to enjoy your night out. Just awful read more

The concepts are similar, but not quite the same. Bar Mezzo is more cocktail forward, although it houses some of the same cocktails featured at intermezzo, including espresso based cocktails. It has one of the few espresso martinis in town that feature fresh brewed espresso. One of the best things about this bar is that it focuses on the art of cocktail making and features the bartenders as artisans. Every employee is the epitome of top of the line hospitality. Each cocktail on the menu is unique and you won't find it replicated locally. The menu is seasonal, so you can always try something new. It's the kind of place where you can say to the bartender "I'm feeling something gin based, maybe something blackberry flavored" and they will make you a unique cocktail based on what you're feeling, even if you don't know exactly what you want. During the month of December, they hold "miracle at mezzo"- a Christmas themed pop-up that was previously hosted at intermezzo. During the cooler months, weekends and during the Christmas popup, it's gets extremely crowded, sometimes forming a line out the door. Depending on the weather, they will open up the front garage style door for more standing space. You should expect a 30-37$ tab for two cocktails, or maybe 15-18$ if you catch a happy hour special.

It is a really cool spot to watch football, especially since there aren't a ton of sports bars in that area of downtown St. Pete. I love how casual it is. We had wings and eggrolls, both were really good, and the prices were reasonable. The food came out quickly and the service was solid. Definitely a great spot to hang out and catch a game.

I wanted to purchase some special cigars for my husband. Central Cigars had a huge selection and knowledgeable staff. Cigars are reasonably priced too. They have a great bar with a large selection of specialty whiskeys. Nice place to hang out, wasn't stuffy or pretentious. I will defiantly be back!! read more

That said one of the staff did pop into the humidor & indicated one local maker w/ enough different cigaroptions for each of us to try something we might enjoy. I would also have preferred a whiskey or scotch w/ the cigar. But they had a tap brew i always enjoy. Comfortable chairs. Overall a good rating, but could have been better.

Today, I was looking to buy a new mod, and they gal who helped me...I wish I knew her name (my bad)...went over each device I looked at and helped me pick the perfect one for my preferences. Like all vape shops, their prices are higher than ordering online, but after all the shipping and other charges they hit you with when shopping online, it's not really THAT much more.
