Our Cigar Bar Story
“World Famous” Since 1996

 

 

 Growing up Rich Castiano was aware of the relaxation and pleasure that his father Sal enjoyed when he’d light a cigar. The rich aroma reminded him of home and family and when the guys got together there were laughs, smiles and good times for all.

“Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve had this infatuation with cigars, and I knew I always would”, said Castiano from his World Famous Cigar Bar location in historic Downtown Fort Myers, Florida.

‘The cigars helped create conversation and even discussions, there was a common bond but at the same time the cigars showed the personality of each guy, and I paid attention. I really liked the fact that a cigar looked good in every situation, whether they were dressed up and going out or having a cold beer and watching a ballgame.”

For over fifteen years now, Rich has both fed his passion and has provided the perfect environment to enjoy good times and great cigars in his two World Famous Cigar Bar locations. His smile is warm and his enjoyment is that of a guy that likes meeting old and new friends over a cigar and a cocktail.

It may have started for Rich Castiano when he was a kid growing up on Long Island and for his father Sal long before that, but for the rest of us it began in 1996 when he took an abandoned store front and created one of the true landmarks in Fort Myers Historic River District.

Located in the Patio De Leon Building just off the corner of First Street, at 1502 Hendry Street, this place looks and feels like it’s been there forever. It’s such a classic barroom, one so rich with tradition, that every once in a while a visitor will ask if Tom Edison himself, drank and smoked at “The Cigar Bar”. It’s well documented that Thomas Alva Edison liked to ‘stroll the avenue’ and puff stogies in Downtown Ft Myers…. and his image overlooks the classic bar with eyes of approval.

But before you even step foot in the place, you can tell that The World Famous Cigar Bar is a cool place, and one that you’re sure you’ll like. As you approach, you are drawn to a couple of tables where you usually see people enjoying a smoke while reading or watching both the sidewalk and the street traffic.
It’s difficult to walk by without slowing down, because even the windows deserve a second look. The entrance and store front has been the perfect backdrop for thousands of photos and is an ever-changing display of treasures.

Framed homage to legendary cigar aficionados and a classic collection of “cigartifacts”, which ranges from cigar store Indians to cedar lined mahogany humidors, welcomes everyone from the connoisseurs to the curious.

It starts with the finest selection of cigars perfectly handled and cared for on display in the spacious super-sized walk-in humidor that is always stocked with the greatest names in the industry. In addition, there’s an incredible selection of cigars from small batch producers, as well as cigars that feature tobaccos selected by Castiano himself. It’s also stocked with premium, imported and hard to find cigarettes ready to satisfy the broad base of clientele.

“This is the kind of place I wanted to put together, eclectic and hip, with a touch of class…but at the same time it had to be a place that was comfortable for everyone to enjoy”.

And he accomplished that at every turn with a bar that is nostalgic yet current with the finest selections of extraordinary spirits from single malt scotches and exquisite cognacs to fine wines and ports, along with selected specialty beers.
