For those who love to relax and toast to an occasion with a fine cigar, there are plenty of shops offering everything from classic Cubans to premium accessories. Sit back and enjoy your favourite stogie, knowing that these Toronto tobacconists are bringing you the best.
Catering to Toronto’s Financial District, Casablanca Tobacconist is a classic cigar shop. It has attracted a dedicated fan base of locals and visitors intrigued by the international collection of tobacco products from premium producers. You’ll find a broad range of accessories including cutters, lighters and humidors, along with informed customer service and selection.
Since 1996, Metro Cigar has been providing the busy Yonge and Bloor area with a range of premium cigars, claiming the biggest selection in the city. Alongside the Dominicans and Cubans, you’ll find hookahs, designer lighters and typical accessories. You might even run into a celebrity or two.
Just off the hip King West track sits the unassuming and almost hidden Frank Correnti Cigars Limited. This shop is one of a kind as the only Canadian manufacturer of Cuban cigars. The shop imports raw tobacco leaf from Cuba and rolls the cigars here, enabling clients to create their own private labels. Four generations of cigar manufacturers stand behind their product.
If Cubans are your stogies of choice, this is one of the best sources in town, offering more than 20 varieties at various prices. And, they're willing to accommodate custom orders. The single location on Yonge between College and Wellesley also stocks pipes, hookahs, vaporizers and other smoking accessories. If you’re looking to treat an out-of-town friend, Café Tabac offers international shipping.
Boasting the city’s largest walk-in humidor, The Smokin’ Cigar is as much man cave as cigar store. Shop here for deluxe and luxury-sized humidors, air-cleansing perfumes and dispensers and shaving accessories, while you’re selecting your favourite smoke. The shop on Bayview Avenue south of Eglinton is in one of midtown’s nicest walking neighbourhoods if you want to take that perfecto for a stroll.
Established in 1996, Cigar Studio caters to Kingsway-area locals, some of whom may have just wandered in from one of the nearby golf courses. Owner Jerry Hartman offers a wide range of cigars, including an affordable house brand. As well, choose from pipe tobaccos, pipes and accessories, and make new friends on the patio, where someone is always testing the latest new cigar release from the world’s top producers.
