In 1996, Smoke Inn began with a vision. This vision was not only
to open a premium cigar store catering to all the needs of the tobacco
user, but also to develop an atmosphere in which the rich traditions
of cigar smoking could be experienced. Today that vision is real. With
our three South Florida locations, not only do we hope to continue
bringing the joys and adventures of cigar smoking to our many friends
and patrons, but also to create the bonds and memorable times for all
those who share our passion. In essence, our true mission statement
is summed up best by our slogan. Bringing Old Traditions To New Friends. |
A FEW WORDS FROM MING......
A long time ago, when I was operating a single average sized
cigar store, many people were kind enough to constantly advise
me, “You need to sell on the INTERNET!” I would always
smile and kindly reply. “That is not a bad idea. Hopefully
someday we will get an on-line store up and running.” But
deep inside, at that time, I couldn’t have disagreed with
them more. I felt it was our “Special Touch” and
care that made us stand out. MY belief was that internet sales
directly dismissed all that is sacred to cigar smoking. Who wants
to save a dollar on a stick and sit by themselves at home and
smoke a cigar. NOT ME. What I feel is most valued is that unspoken
joy of sharing our passion with one another. They say misery
loves company, well I believe that the opposite does as well.
Who wants to have great times alone. Well needless to say, almost
a decade and 2 additional locations later, that ideology as helped
us become South Florida’s #1 premier cigar shops. |

Being in South Florida, a portion of our regular patrons
are seasonal, spending months at a time in other parts of the country.
Over the years it has often been said to us how they miss our shops
when they are away and how they just cant seem to find the same experience.
So it dawns upon us that there are many people who never get to experience
what we share here everyday. So the question is asked, “Is
it possible to build an on-line store that can share and simulate
the experience of being at Smoke Inn?”
Well, after many many hours of planning and developing, we felt
now is OUR time to attempt this feat. Our goal was not just to build
a site where one can find great deals and promotions, but to build
a site that gives our patrons a sense of belonging. A place where
they want to be. A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into the making
of this site and it is our sincerest wishes that your experience
here is a memorable one. We accept the fact that we may never be
the biggest or most profitable internet site, but that doesn’t
mean that we can’t be the BEST. |
