Shopping & Services BES T CIGAR SHOP Cuba Tobacco Cigar Co. 1528 SW EIGHTH STREET MIAMI, 33135 305-649-2717 CUBATOBACCOCIGARCO.COM You could visit one of the new, bourgeois ci- gar lounges that are popping up all over Mi- ami’s shmanciest neighborhoods, but why mess with a proven formula? Set in the heart of Little Havana, Cuba Tobacco Cigar Co. rose to prominence during the U.S. cigar boom of the ’90s when the shop, owned by the Bello family, launched its Havana Sunrise brand, whose popularity made CTCC the largest producer of cigars in the U.S. But the family has been rolling cigars for far longer — ever since founder Don Bello opened a fac- tory in Las Villas, Cuba, in 1896. With roots firmly planted in el exilio Miami, the family- owned shop is still going strong — and so are the cigars. BES T VAPE S TORE Happy Vapor Shops 9672 NW 25TH STREET DORAL, 33172 305-599-8828 HAPPYVAPORSHOPS.COM Alongside Happy Vapor Shops’ shelves stacked neatly with various Delta-8 THC can- dies, single-use vape pens, and e-juices is the “Wall of Hope,” filled with old Marlboro and Newport cigarette packs. Since Marty Rodri- guez opened the Doral vape store in 2013, she has striven not only to sell topnotch products with great service but to also support her cus- tomers’ transition from cigarettes to vaping devices. “Everybody that buys a kit to quit smoking, I will get their pack of cigarettes and put it up on the wall, because that was a com- mitment,” Rodriguez explains. The small shop, sandwiched between two restaurants (one Colombian, one Chinese) in a nonde- script strip mall, feels like home for vape bros and ex-smokers alike. The store even main- tains an educational blog that it regularly up- dates with information about its products, which include Delta-8 and nicotine salts.
