Miami smokes on its own terms. Little Havana still rolls by hand on Calle Ocho, El Titan de Bronze, Cuba Tobacco and the Little Havana Cigar Factory work the floor while you watch, and Brickell answers with Empire Social and the Red Phone Booth, where you need the passcode to get past the door. Add the Black-owned rooms up in Miami Gardens and out in Kendall and twenty stops carry you from the roller's table to the top shelf.
Tap a gold pin to see the lounge and jump to its card below.
Black-owned cigar and whiskey room in the heart of Miami Gardens, with a deep pour list, comfortable seating and a grown crowd that fills it up on weekends. Open till two on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Pip’s Tip Black-owned, open till 2am on weekends
Alvin Cushnie and Randolph Gornail's Kendall lounge is one of the few Black-owned cigar rooms in Miami-Dade and a fixture on the national Black cigar map. Easygoing, unpretentious, and built for sitting a while.
Pip’s Tip Black-owned by Alvin Cushnie and Randolph Gornail
A neighborhood lounge and smoke shop on NW 2nd Avenue that pulls a steady local crowd. Walk-in humidor up front, seating in back, and the kind of room where the regulars know each other by name.
Pip’s Tip Neighborhood room on NW 2nd Avenue
Brickell's serious cigar room, a floor above the street with roughly five thousand cigars in the humidor, four hundred-plus whiskeys behind the bar and private lockers for members. Leather, low light, real conversation.
Pip’s Tip 5,000 cigars, 400+ whiskeys, member lockers
You get in through an actual red phone booth with a rotary dial and a passcode. Inside: 1920s speakeasy styling, a full walk-in humidor, an ambitious cocktail program and a dress code that people actually honor.
Pip’s Tip Enter through the phone booth, passcode required
Downtown's workhorse cigar bar, with more than 275 scotches on the back bar and free wifi for the people who quietly work from here in the afternoon. Fills with a courthouse-and-finance crowd after five.
Pip’s Tip 275+ scotches downtown
Chef Michael Beltran's cigar bar at Miami Worldcenter, where the house lights your cigar with a candle rather than a torch. Cuban-leaning drinks, a proper kitchen, and one of the most handsome rooms in the city.
Pip’s Tip Chef Michael Beltran's room, candles, not lighters
On the prettiest block on Miami Beach, this one runs noon to 2am seven days a week. Sidewalk tables under the Spanish arcade, a full bar inside, and a rotating cast of locals and visitors that never quite thins out.
Pip’s Tip Noon till 2am, every day
A small, quiet room in South of Fifth that closes early by Miami standards and is better for it. Come at five, take the good chair, and be done before the Beach gets loud.
Pip’s Tip Quiet South of Fifth hideaway
Torcedores rolling at the front window, cortaditos at the counter and live Cuban music some nights, the Calle Ocho cigar experience most people picture. Sidewalk seating puts you right in the parade.
Pip’s Tip Rollers at work on Calle Ocho
A working factory and lounge on the corner of 15th and Calle Ocho, where you can watch the rolling, pick from the house lines and then sit down and smoke what you bought. Deeply Miami.
Pip’s Tip Factory floor and lounge in one
A tiny, revered Calle Ocho factory where a handful of Cuban-trained rollers make everything by hand in full view. Weekday afternoons only, get there before three or don't get there at all.
Pip’s Tip Daytime only, the rollers go home at three
Five generations of the Bello family behind the counter, in Miami since 1994 and in the tobacco business since long before that. Ask about the history and you'll be there an hour longer than you planned.
Pip’s Tip The Bello family, on this block since 1994
The Grove's cigar living room: espresso bar up front, walk-in humidor in back, and dogs welcome throughout. Easy to spend a whole afternoon here and never notice.
Pip’s Tip Dog-friendly, with an espresso bar
A low-key Coral Gables room with indoor seating and a patio, run for the regulars rather than the internet. No website, no social feed, just a good chair and a good cigar a block off Miracle Mile.
Pip’s Tip Gables regulars, indoors and out
A South Miami neighborhood cellar on Sunset Drive with a solid humidor and beer and wine rather than a full bar. Quieter than the Brickell rooms, and the regulars like it that way.
Pip’s Tip Beer and wine only. Bring the conversation
A polished whiskey-and-cigar room tucked beside Dadeland, with a well-built humidor and enough bar to make a night of it. The south Miami-Dade answer to Brickell.
Pip’s Tip Whiskey and cigars by Dadeland
Downtown Doral's cigar bar, with a proper spirits list and outdoor seating on the plaza. Busy after work, easy on a weekend afternoon.
Pip’s Tip Downtown Doral's cigar bar
They say it's the largest walk-in humidor in Miami-Dade, and standing inside it, that's easy to believe. Bar, lounge and a regular event calendar make it a destination rather than a stop.
Pip’s Tip Claims the county's largest walk-in humidor
A members-leaning private cigar club in north Miami-Dade, quieter and more closed-door than the Brickell rooms. Call ahead before you drive out.
Pip’s Tip Private club, north county
Black-owned in Miami Gardens with whiskey behind the bar and the doors open till 2am on weekends, the family's northside home base.
Destination weekend & Wave 1 celebration. Travel packages for members.
Miami rolls its own. Join the family and roll with us through the 305.
