Pretty much all of us Central Florida cigar smokers are familiar with Corona Cigar Company. They have 3 huge locations, along with the massive selection that goes along with such large stores. I find their prices to be pretty fair. No great bargains, but not ridiculously overpriced either.

Now, I don't dislike Corona at all. But I was looking for an alternative. I have found it in Backroom Cigar Corporation in Kissimmee. In addition to being closer to my house, I really like the place. Again, they have fair prices, but the real bonus is the atmosphere. The owners welcome new customers and regulars alike with open arms and a warm smile. They are knowledgeable and provide excellent customer service.

They average about one event a month, and have lockers available for rental. Last week, they had an Altadis event with a "Buy 4, get one free" special, and an impressive spread of food and drinks. I brought my wife there the other day and I wound up smoking, drinking, and playing a couple of games of Wii bowling.

This place is quickly becoming my regular hangout. It's nice to have a good B&M close by that is run by nice people.

*I define fair prices as prices within 5-10% of MSRP.
