The title says it all. Looking for any good cigar related places to visit and any recommendations for restaurants also.

Thanks.

If it were me, I'd visit the Padrons, Padillas, and the Pepin Miami factories. I really hope to do that some day. Have fun, brother!

In Brickell you have Absolute Cigars which has a nice selection if you look around. They have Padrons, high end fuentes, Olivas, Tatuajes, DPG, Some illusiones, Liga Privadas, among many others

Give Savor Havana a try in Coral Gables, they also have a awesome selection

go down to Calle Ocho and walk the strip. Start at El Rey de Los Habanos (Pepin's shop) and start to walk north.

Lots of little cigar stores along the way.

You can also visit cigarmasters and padron. It's in the same area.

Like has been suggested, check out calle ocho, hit up versailles for some awesome Cuban food. South beach has some excellent restaurants, depends on what you are looking for. Pm me the dates we'll see if we can get together for some smokes and drinks, and maybe some killer bbq.

Padron, Pepin, El Credito are all in Little Havana area. I would visit the Sabor Havana in Doral. It's Jorge's biggest shop, and fully stocked! There isn't a shop on South Beach I would bother going to.

Plenty of good shops to visit. The one's already mentioned are a good start. I would start just south of El Rey on Calle Ocho at Titan de Bronze. Not a big name, but by far the most hospitable of all the factories and shops I've been in. Good people. If you like coffee/espresso, etc. hit up one of the coffee counter and ask for a Colada. Trust me.

I would make sure to hit up Puros Indios while your are there. It's a second hand recommendation, but I've been told its another great place to see a factory, etc. When I went to El Rey de los Habanos, I definitely got the feeling they did not want me there. Versailles is a great place for lunch or dinner. Get a mojito and have some plaintains for dessert.

Absolute Cigars - Great place! I believe the owner's nephew is top marketer or distributer for Drew Estate.... but definitely check out Padron. They'll give you a tour of the Miami facility and the whole family is super nice!

There's also a nice place near The Collection.... I forgot the name of it but a Pepin rep was there and I believe his gf/wife works the counter there (However, she doesn't know the difference between a Padron 45 and 46).... haha
