Largest cigar store in the world, or at least that's what they claim. Huge selection of cigars and accessories. Cigar bar serving wine and beer with great selection of domestic and imported beers and vintage ports. Limited menu for food. Lively crowd most nights, especially weekends.

Was there last Saturday for the Oliva event, first time at the Orlando one.
There is also one in Heathrow/Lake Mary that is great. Little smaller, but I couldn't really tell, must be back room space.

I am on my way there on my lunch and will be there around noon.
I think you have my cel number and if you want, give me a ring before 11:30 and I will give you a choice of some of my smokes that you definitely won't find at Corona, just not sure what you like and if you'll definitely be there when I am.

it was great to meet Snkbyt, DETROIT357, and a new gorilla Cousteu (sp?) as well as Booker's dad.
Great bunch of guys, my first face to face CS meeting and not the last.
We exchanged some cigars, and stories and I left with some of Alex's famous BBQ sauce.

I'll definately be hitting this place up over labor day week. Going to be on a cruise from 9-3 through 9-7 but probably hit it on the evening of 9-7 or early afternoon of 9-8.
If anyone is interested, let me know.

A couple of friends from work and I went to the Heathrow location yesterday, we cut out of the office at 3:30 and went to have a smoke before heading home. It was great!! I will definitely be heading back there.

08-18-2007, 09:42 PM
So which is better/bigger the Heathrow or Orlando shop?
floydpink
08-19-2007, 08:45 AM
The Orlando location is the headquarters and the biggest for now, until the new location opens with a full liquor bar.
I'd love to get some of the Fla crew to meet up for a herf there. The area around it is also the best place to go out to eat and Amura next door has the best sushi I have ever tried. As an added bonus, the girls working at Corona are very friendly as well as nice tyo look at. Right, Detroit and Snake???

Great place overall! I had meet up with that Troop guy in the Heathrow location, but the staff in Orlando was wonderful in helping you out!
Just ask them what they had to smoke to work there! :pu
I might swing in there sometime if I can get those free airline tickets from my son...WE will have to take a little daytrip there sometime.

I go to the hostess at Amura, order, tip and let the girl know I am out in front of Corona and ask if she/they could deliver while I smoke and watch all the exotic sports car and women drive/walk by. Now that is a perfect day. :tu

Paging the Central Florida Crew!!!
My family and I are headed to Disney for a week arriving Sunday the 20th. I've (somehow) convinced my wife that I'm leaving the park early that day to watch the late game. After PMing floydpink and getting more info, I decided Corona will be my spot to watch! :tu
I plan on getting there around 6-6:30. I just hope there aren't any flight delays.
Anybody interested in meeting up?

Ok, so I'm in Orlando for the PGA Merchandise show this week. Holy Mother of Crap is this place insane!
Someone asked me to meet them there on Monday, and I've been back every night since.
Honestly...that place has to be Cigar Heaven.

Just spent the last few days in Orlando for business and went to Corona Cigar on Sand Lake twice. I got to know Joe pretty well on the sales floor. Talk about a nice guy and great BOTL. He hooked me up big time and I gave him one of my goodies that his store didn't carry.
Spent the evenings in the bar area smoking some of my new purchases (Liga Privada #9, 601 Green Label and AVO 787) and got to know the ladies behind the bar. Sanjie (?) is a total sweetheart as are the other ladies. Loved this place and only wish we had something like it in San Diego.
BTW - They are opening another store in February that is even bigger and will have a full line of scotch and bourbon (YUMMY!) in their bar.

I made it to Corona as I hoped last Sunday while on vacation. Quite the football game I got to watch!
The store has an enormous selection (albeit a little pricey on some stuff), wonderful staff and an overall great place to sit back and smoke a cigar or two.
I wish the timing could have been better to meet up with a few of you, but there's always a next time (albeit probably a couple years out for me :mad:)
Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Orlando/Disney area. Two :tu

Agreed. Was there last year and I'm leaving for Orlando next Saturday. This place is heaven and will be first on my priority list. Can't wait to try out the new Diamond Crown lounge in downtown Orlando. :dr

Just got back from Orlando. While down there, my brother-in-law and I tried out the new Diamond Crown lounge. The selection was unbelievable....took me 20 mins just to pick one out. I was like a kid in a candy store. The place really is first class. The lounge area was very nice. Big bar, a number of tables and, of course, a 50+ inch plasma. Watched the Cavaliers stomp the Wizards. It was a great night.

70% so it's actually not dry at all...dunno what you are smoking, in fact that's a bit higher than I like my cigars =/

My wife and I will be in Orlando during the last week of August for business and I am very much looking forward to visiting this location and picking up 4 boxes of cigars - it seems like my problem not be finding cigars but narrowing it down to only 100 sticks!
Any suggestions on good brands out there with aging potential? Anyone want to hook up for a cigar or two (or three, etc...:)) while I'm down there?
Nice to be here at the forum btw - I like what you have done with the place. ;)

A must stop every time we're down there visiting my wife's family. Met Jeff (the owner), once, and he was a very nice guy. He even introduced me to Avo. :) Always wish I had more $ every time I walk into the store. Can't wait to move down there and make this my local B&M. :D

08-28-2008, 07:03 AM
Yesterday I visited this store.
I laughed, I cried, I became a better person. :ss
And I smoked a God of Fire while in the lounge and brought to the hotel a stash to smoke on my balcony in the coming evenings including a Padron 1926 #9 which I devoured last evening.
Life doesn't suck right about now!

Was down the weekend after Labor Day. Made several extended visits to Corona with SmokeyJoe. Jose Oliva was there for a Nub event on Saturday. Picked up some of those. Also enjoyed Gods of Fire--yes--2 of 'em, a 26, couple of 64s, a VSG, on and on and on....some great tawny port, as well.
Had a great time!

I was a little bit worried about being disappointed with Corona after all of the hype, but this place is awesome.
I went once, then immediately started making a list of stuff to look for the next time that I went there. They had every single stick that I was looking for.
I picked up a God of Fire tubo, a My Father (Don Pepin Garcia himself was there yesterday!), some Illusiones, Tatuaje, Oliva, Lito Gomez, and Ashton ESG. They even have Opus there consistently, even if they are 3x MSRP. Kind of disappointed with the Gurkha selection, but I can pick those up at the B&M in Celebration anyway.
Everyone is helpful, rarely pushy, and they had all of the football games on so I didn't even miss any college action!
