I will be spending about a month or so in Melbourne Florida for work starting next week and was looking for recommendations on a good cigar shop or two that I can smoke at.
Thanks in advance

In Melbourne try
http://www.executivecigarshop.com
I've never been there but the online reviews are good. They hold cigar nights and serve beer and wine.
If you head south to Vero Beach you can visit
http://www.enavacigars.com
They have a roller there and a nice cigar lounge. I think you can sit outside too and get a beer from the bar nextdoor.
Orlando is only an hour or so away. You should check out Corona cigar. It's worth the short drive.

If you search here at the Asylum for Melbourne or Vero Beach you'll find some member's posts that live there. Maybe you can contact them for info and to set up a herf or two.
Have fun.

Check out tranquilo cigar, talked to the owner on twitter a few times, seems like a real nice guy, and one of the few places in FL that carry Viaje cigars

Checked out Corona cigars on my way in yesterday and was very impressed with their selection. Tried a Candella wrapped Viaje and loved it. Will try to get back there sometime soon.
Going to try
Executive Cigar Shop tonight I think.

Strong recomendations for both of these. Corona is huge...awesome selection.
Enava is small....their own blend and rolled right there. Very well made cigars and some of the nicest folks you'll ever meet. Also, Vero Beach is a great small town. PM me if you make it down this way to Vero.

Let me know when you will be here. I live one town south and can meet up for a smoke. I typically go to duque locally.

Thanks for the advice all. Will definitely give duque a try next week some time or this weekend after the paintball tournement at
hurricane paintball.
I really enjoyed corona cigars. To put it in perspective for those up north; if you have been to the new CI superstore in Bethlehem off of 191, the store is about the same size as the main part of the store minus the two lounges. They also have an outdoor seating area with 6 or so tables. They serve beer there and have a tremendous selection of wonderful cigars. There are about 4 or 5 rows about twenty feet long packed with cigars and they are open until midnight most of the week and 2am on the weekends. The sales people there were great. They had a great knowledge of their products and gave some excellent advice. Only wish I had more time/money to smoke there before I had to move on to my hotel.
Executive cigar shop in Melbourne was around the same size, but only had about 1/5 the selection of cigars. However the selection they had was very diverse. A little something for everyone with a lot of hard to find cigars. Lots of very comfortable seating and a very helpful sales person.

I am really enjoying Melbourne FL. The people here are very nice and the weather has been perfect. I can see why some of you folks have moved down south
:-). Just got back from a 2.5 hour walk on the beach and sitting on the balcony enjoying a nice Man of War Cigar. Its 83 degrees here and it is supposed to snow back in State College, PA. Yep glad I am down here
:-)

There has been great weather the last few weeks, this is the time of year that makes living in Fl so great. Not too hot, not too cold, perfect with no rain.
