RJ Cigar Company

I don’t want to dis this place because I never bought anything from them. I called to see how late they were open since I was in town for business and looked for a place to have a cigar. Went there and met the owners father, who was a great guy but didn’t know much about cigars in my mind.
First, don’t go in there thinking you’re going to buy any cigars that aren’t rolled there, as that’s all they had. And they didn’t have many of those. What I saw did not like to be rolled by a good roller either but that doesn’t mean they won’t be a good cigar, but it wasn’t appetizing to me. I might have tried one but I also felt the prices were too high to gamble as I wanted to relax and enjoy the Cigar, not test.
Small smoking area too but looked comfortable.
Ended up driving into Tampa.

Great cigar shop. Ryan is very knowledgeable about his cigars he makes. He personally makes them there with all U.S. Tobacco, grown in the U.S., everything U.S. Very cool I thought…

I have not yet sampled their house cigars and didn’t investigate their humidor much, but I did stop in to get a lighter and cutter when I forgot mine on a recent trip to the beach. Unfortunately the selection was pretty limited; I think they recently opened so perhaps they’re not stocking much yet. I typically purchase Xicar lighters and cutters because of the lifetime warranty, which I have used pretty frequently as Xicar quality isn’t the greatest, but if I can keep sending them back for free, it doesn’t bother me that much. In any case, they had the typical cheap-​o $ 2 and $ 5 cutters, and then a Xicar display shelf but no Xicar products to be found, so that was kind of weird. They only had three premium-​style cutters in stock, one was camouflage, one was $ 40, one was $ 60, so not exactly a good selection. I went with the cheap-​o since it would serve my purpose for one weekend.
The torch selection was equally limited. Just a few options and none looked like they’d hold up for the long haul. I got one to get the job done for $ 15.
So anyway, I’ll probably give them a try in the coming months on the cigar side just to see how things pan out, and they’re a great local option if you just need a cheap lighter and cutter to get you through a vacation, but they don’t have the good stuff on the merchandise side at this point. Norman’s liquors down the street also sells cigars but they do not sell torches or cutters at all, so don’t bother looking there.
