    The service is excellent. There're humidor selection of cigars are great. A great selection of Arturo Fuentes and selection from Connecticut, Toro and Maduro cigars. The ambience is great to come and have a stick and a drink and just relax to enjoy your time.

    Do a lot of traveling and yea, my vice is to stop and have a cigar is various cities. Here in Lakeland, it's Cigar Life for me. A cold beer, one of my favorite smokes and maybe a bag of chips. Hello Mario!

    The only Diamond Crown Cigar joint in Lakeland! You will be hard pressed to find a better ownership team in any business! Mario and Patty have really out did themselves with this gem! Nice selection of cigars, cigar accessories, beers, and wine! Private room in the back perfect for team meetings!

    I'm from out of state visiting a good friend in Lakeland and wanted to find a cigar shop close by so we ended up here.We were greeted at the front door by Mario who is the owner,we told him we are complete rookies when it comes to cigar smoking so he gave us a tour of the various cigars that he recommended for us along with a history lesson of where they are from.Very nice guy treated us like we were regulars from the very beginning,if you are new to cigar smoking like we are Mario is the man to help guide you and make you feel comfortable in side his store along with selecting one that you would like.Thanks Mario!

    Had a decent variety.  Just wish they had Tatiana cigars.

    I was pre-warned that this is a "cop-spot." I guess a lot of off duty officers hang out here. The business is family-run and the person handling the place was very professional. All of the patrons were very friendly. They had a couple of tvs, leather couches, and a small bar where they served beer and wine. They also had a good selection of high-end cigars in the room, as well as flavored cigars in a case.

    JR Cigar Outlet is a welcoming and friendly cigar store and lounge for both new enthusiasts and…read moreseasoned cigar lovers. It was happenstance that I stumbled upon JR Cigar Outlet (was actually on Busch Boulevard after stopping at Level Up Cigar Lounge to find that it was closed). Sitting off Busch Boulevard (580) and being easily accessible from both west and eastbound directions just after/before the railroad track crossing, JR Cigar is conveniently situated close to the I-275-Florida-Nebraska-trio throughways. Honestly, I feel that it's a great location for those living just north of Tampa and the USF-area. I was initially discouraged by the word "Outlet" in its name (implying that it was more of a retail venue as opposed to a sit-in spot) since I was looking more for a lounge to sit and enjoy a cigar, but was happily mistaken after discovering that JR Cigar is more than that. I came on a Saturday evening to find plenty of parking. There are two rows - one that is right up against the establishment with the other row backed up to the sidewalk of the Busch Boulevard. Upon walking in, I was politely and warmly welcomed by Julio. It is notable that I did not get blasted by the usually strong smell and smoke of cigars as I entered (yes - kind of a weird ask for a cigar lounge and perhaps it was due to the fairly tame crowd), but I could also assume that JR Cigar has a pretty outstanding ventilation system. The setup of the main floor offers a natural flow, with counter seating that wraps around a bar at the center of the venue. There are a variety of lounge chairs and sofas to either side of the bar which are then complimented with TVs, creating smaller grouped areas. Immediately to the left as you enter, you will easily be able to distinguish the cigar room itself with the entirely see through glass panes and windows. It was nice to see that this was its own separate humidor room as opposed to having the cigars sit in the open lounge area like Corona Cigar Company. There is definitely an active management system that is maintaining the appropriate levels of climate to ensure the quality of the products within. There is a vast selection of cigars that are neatly organized and maintained. Additionally, the pricing of the selections is incredibly competitive (arguably some of the best prices I've seen), with clearly marked sales as well as promotions in sections both in the humidor room and the open lounge areas. The vibe was entirely chill and friendly at JR Cigar. It seemed that most, if not all, of the patrons there were established clients. Everyone seemed to be super friendly and inviting. Julio and his team were incredibly wonderful, serving beverages and providing knowledge and advice when it comes to picking out a cigar. Overall, JR Cigar is a great hang out spot if you're looking to simply enjoy a cigar or if you're seeking some social interaction and conversation. I highly recommend to anyone that is looking to try a cigar or those experienced veterans!

    It was an amazing time . I was with my cigar family and it was people from all over that night …read more The lounge was spacious and the employees were really attentive . The only thing I didn't like was the parking situation .
