A MUST TRY for cigar smokers when in Tarpon Springs. Don Esteban (the grandfather of the current owner/operator Xavier) Hand Made Cigars has been my go-to cigar guy since my first visit to Tarpon Springs in 2018. I have tried nearly every other hand-rolled cigar roller around Tarpon and none compare to the quality and consistency of Xavier’s cigars. He has a regular selection of 12-15 sizes and shapes in both Connecticut and Maduro (my preferred) wrappers AND at VERY affordable $4-8 per stick options (and discounts for larger orders). Without exception, they smoke smoothly, and burn evenly (and stay lit) and I have never had one “canoe” on me or come apart. Xavier is a warm and welcoming host/vendor and he is gracious and patient with novice smokers and always offers to cut and light on the spot. He brings his deeply Cuban-born heritage and family tradition to his work. His son “Xavi” is manning the kiosk on occasion and representing the now 4th generation of the family business. I am SO GLAD he is carrying on the hand-rolled cigar tradition in an ever more automated world. His work brings peace and happiness to those who enjoy his craft. Well done Don Esteban Cigars!!

I have been purchasing Cigars from this business for over 3 years! I recently visited, on Thursday 10/14/2021 to purchase a 5 pack! The price, craftsmanship and quality of the cigars is unbeatable! The inventory has a vast selection of sizes, shapes and Wrapper type! The customer service is outstanding, the son of the owner asked me specifically what I prefer and explained the details of the cigars. He recommended a 5 pack that I would enjoy from the inventory! It is nice to be able to walk up to the Cigar Kiosk, view the inventory and choose the cigars that you prefer. I will be a long-time customer! Many places at the Tarpon Springs, Florida Sponge Docks to sit, light up a cigar from Don Esteban Cigars and enjoy the scenery outdoors! I will spread the word, about how great this Cigar Business is. Highly Recommend!
