Reviews of Grand Cathedral Cigars
Oxy Jen
It’s a cigar lounge inside an old cathedral with well crafted drinks and a very tasty food truck. What is NOT to love.
The ambiance is chill in a Saturday afternoon. Food amazing. Those may be the best onion rings I’ve had in a while.
They have live jazz wed and Thursday at 6, other music live on weekends.
There’s a reserved room for club members. I hear it’s boss. Might wanna know more.
If you haven’t been, you are missing out. The back patio will be THE spot to be at come cooler weather.
I had the confessional and my friend had an espresso martini. I hear Alyssa is the best in the biz. ;)
Ross Mccullough
I love what they did to this location. I'm a longtime fan of great cigars and the selection there is excellent. I believe there is an association with the Arturo Fuente family which is very well-known name in that industry. The bar is great the layout is amazing I can see Halloween being just an absolute blast. The girls tending bar are fantastic and attentive and they have a great outside patio in the fall and winter would be just amazing. Stop by have a cocktail and a smoke.

I’ve been to many Cigar Shops in my day from NY all the way down to the southern tip of FL. There is no Cigar shop I’ve been to that I feel at home like Grand Cathedral. The staff is knowledgeable, the bartenders, wait staff are friendly as well as customer oriented and the ambience is amazing. I only wish I could articulate how beautiful it is inside and out. A day here you feel like you’re home. The Cigar selections amazing and every stick I’ve ever purchased has an amazing burn and produced a hell of an ash. I’m embarrassed to say but I love the house Maduro Cigar the best. Trust me once you come here with the staff, ambience, price and friendliness of the patrons you will never want to go anywhere else.
Tyler Brown (TampaTraveler)
A very chill unique vibe in Tampa! I believe there’s a good selection of cigars there, I went there having never been to a cigar bar before. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful! It was themed very well and there were multiple floors that you could sit back and smoke. The have a large bourbon selection which made the drinks expensive but good. They also had live music playing, which I believe is nightly. Would recommend if you want to change it up from your everyday outings
Adam Grenville
This place is so cool! You can't help but feel transported to a place where time slows down and all your worries are checked at the door. Great humidor and bar selections. Cigar staff is very helpful and not pretentious.
Kyle Ames
Such an incredible selection of cigars available and the venue is amazing. Cut out the church and leave the atmosphere of hardwood. Enjoy yourself for a fancy night out with a food truck and drinks, watch the vuf game or enjoy live music
Alicia Darrow
Overall this a cool place to have a cigar. I had the Jesuit cigar (a house Connecticut) it was very well constructed and I did not have to relight it once. Their cocktails were good. The live music was amazing. Overall could be a little cleaner and a little friendlier. Their outside atmosphere was amazing and their food truck Sandwichi had pretty good food.
You get a free house cigar if you give 5 stars.
Michael Coccagnia
Beautiful, unique space. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Great place to relax and catch up with friends, or strike up a chat with someone new. The walk-in humidor has something for the newbie and the cigar aficionado.
Erica Maldonado
This wasn’t my first time at Grand Cathedral, but it was probably the most impactful. From its opening last year, I’ve loved the concept and the actual space, it the visit on Sunday that exemplified why it’s such a wonderful place. Dominic is a big reason for that.
His accommodating nature and informative suggestions were great. I asked for something lighter and possibly a bit sweet, he suggested the perfect pairing for what I desired and it was amazing.
I know I’ll return and will find Dominic to make sure he can point me in the direction of a good cigar for my tastes that day.
As far as the overall vibe, it was excellent. Grace, our server was on point and genuinely friendly. The clientele was laid back and courteous, not over chatty or intrusive.
Amazing cigar and a great vibe at Grand Cathedral brought my crazy busy work week to a wonderful close.
Joel Kipfer
Wonderful place to enjoy an exquisite cigar. Plenty of unique seating areas, while the cigar selection is vast, I couldn't find any sweet cigars to satisfy my wife's palette. The owners are truly gracious hosts and the staff are diligent in their work. It was a wonderful visit and am thankful for the experience.
Alexander Guzman
The staff here are all super friendly and super knowledgeable on their cigars and drinks. The atmosphere is super casual and comfortable and very inviting. The grounds are beautiful the cathedral is beautiful all over and a wonderful comfortable experience. Every cigar enthusiast should visit!
Michael Moore
Not all cigar bars are created equally and that’s not shading anyone nor is it a bad thing. Fortunately, they tend to all have their own vibe and Grand Cathedral is one of the special vibes out there. The venue itself is unique and very inviting. While there’s ample seating o it side and lots of days that you could enjoy great Tampa weather with a smoke on the patio, being inside the tabernacle is just so much a vibe.
Dominic is that guy! He’s hospitable, extremely astute about cigars and always hit Ms you with a great recommendation no matter what you’re in the mood for.
If you’re visiting Tampa and don’t have it on your list of must-do stops, go back to the drawling board. Your list is incomplete. If you live in town and haven’t visited, what are you waiting for. But if you know, you already know. Grand Cathedral is a wonderful spot to enjoy a stick, grab a drink,reconnect with your people or just grab a bite at the on-site food truck or all the above.
sarah
Great management and amazing bartenders and staff. These beautiful bartenders make the best drinks and have amazing conversations. The house cigar is the best. Don't think just come and enjoy.
Bluejackets Fan
Truly enjoyed our vist to Grand Cathedral. Great service, awesome collection of cigars and simply a great vibe. Will definitely be back!
Cliffye B
What a beautiful establishment. When you walk in you are greeted by the gentleman in the front. Of course it smells heavenly. This Saintsgria was amazing as well with the full bar. Definetly a must see if in this area
Nicole Uysal
Beautiful place to chill and hangout. Atmosphere is very welcoming and comfortable. Great selection of cigars in walk in humidor. My go to pick is the Jesuit it consists of a sweet and mild flavor, my favorite. Love the overall environment here and the staff is extremely friendly!
Gidget Bullard
This place is so much fun and awesome. The entertainment is great!! Come on over and get in on the fabulous atmosphere and enjoy your time with some fabulous cigars!!!
Danny Nippers
This place is absolutely amazing! We made our first visit there recently and we're just blown away by the place. We will be regulars and looking at being members. I was able to stock up on opus x
Thomas Morrison
This is one of the coolest cigar lounges I have been too. Especially being here in cigar city (Tampa).
Live music, great atmosphere. They have a member's area, a couple of outdoor patios. Huge walk in humidor. Cannot wait to come back to Tampa again just to come here for a couple of hours and relax.
Danny Taylor
Dom. was so great to work with, very educated on all the different verities of cigars and spun me up as well! Hands down the best cigar environment I have ever indulged in and will definitely be coming back every time!
Jini Webb
Was visiting Florida from Jersey and found this cigar bar for my husband. From the moment we walked In I felt so much at home. Checking out the cigars and Dominic came in to help us out. The knowledge of all the cigars and friendliness from him and everyone else was amazing. I’m so happy my husband was smiling 😊 …
Kylie Sutton
We love this place and come here regularly. The vibe and the music are always on point. We love the espresso martini and old fashioned. Tony the bartender was so great!
Andy
An absolute hidden gem in the heart of Tampa! The atmosphere is incredible, the cigar selection is comprehensive, the staff is friendly and the service, even on a busy Friday night was quick and attentive. Management was fantastic and made sure everyone had a comfortable place to sit even when we had to come inside when it was raining. A must visit cigar lounge and great experience for locals and visitors. I look forward to making this my regular cigar spot.
Rebecca Forney
Awesome little Gem! Great selection of cigars, and a ton of unique liquors! And Dominic was so helpful :) this place does not disappoint!! Try it out!!
Zachary Grogan
This is one of the coolest cigar lounges I have ever been to!! The staff was absolutely was amazing, super friendly!
Dominic is super knowledgeable and super helpful!
Lucas Estevez
Great place. Dominick was awesome, he came up and greeted us as we came in, led us around the place and helped with cigar selection. The atmosphere was amazing both inside and outside with live music and a really nice bar. Will become a regular for sure. Highly recommend..
aidan lemarie
Amazing atmosphere. Cigar selection is amazing as well as great coffee. However the one thing I can’t stress enough is the amazing staff. Knowledgeable kind and respectful and show love to everyone the only cigar bar I go to now and can’t stress enough how great it is. Definitely worth a trip if you are in tampa for a quick visit or a long time resident.
Doug Cooley
One of the most awe-inspiring and relaxing atmospheres. Dom was unbelievably gracious and his knowledge of everything from cigars to woodworking was incredible! I could’ve spent all day here and will definitely be back.
Natalie Leslie
Brought my father in law here to get a cigar and he was blown away. Great place to come chill, have a drink and smoke a cigar! The service was amazing, they were very friendly. They also have plenty of outdoor seating. Highly recommend you check it out!
Christopher Davis
I stopped into this beautiful local cigar shop while visiting a friend recently. A beautiful back deck, incredible history-packed lounge interior and an unbelievably hospitable staff. If you need a recommendation on a cigar, Dom is your guy - he helped us find a perfect selection for each of our specific tastes. If you are a cigar newbie or aficionado, you have GOT to check this place out.
Tim Gillespie
Beautiful architecture, thoughtfully restored, and a great atmosphere. Staff was all very friendly and knowledgeable, cigars were well maintained and an expansive collection. Good ventilation as well. It was raining so I only took a quick look but the outside area looked like a perfect place to hang out.
Julian Crockett
The most unique cigar experience you’ll have in Tampa Bay. The humidor is huge with a bunch of options. The service is top notch. Indoor or outdoor seating selections. On the occasion that they have live music it really elevates the atmosphere of the place. Ideal spot for a post work happy hour.
David Wilson
Staff was great and very knowledgeable. The selection of cigars is overwhelming but they will let u know about all of them. Great bar with many different types of drinks. Not just a guy place took my wife and her friend and they enjoyed a glass of wine while I had a jack and coke.
Shaina Propper
Great place to hangout relax have a drink. They have an excellent cigar selection.
C Kiefer
Amazing location and environment has the great cigar experience with the spectacular humidor and bar. We thought we was a great stop on our visit to ybor.
Bill Tamminen
This is what a cigar lounge was meant to be! The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. Harvey provided great counsel on the cigars (the house cigars are brilliant!).
The drinks are very good and bartender Minda was fabulous.
We aren't in Tampa often, but now we have a wonderful reason to be back!
Michael Figueroa
Never seen such an amazing cigar shop! It is a converted church and incredibly welcoming. The staff is knowledgable and friendly. Dominic knows his cigars and is quick to smile and brighten the atmosphere! This place is a must for anyone who smokes cigars!
Grace Mullins
Absolutely amazing establishment!! best staff I have ever encountered! Dominick in the front was the sweetest soul and super helpful. The girls behind the bar were spectacular with service and, might I add, very beautiful. I will definitely be coming back!!
Don’t stop Dancing
An outstanding experience I will say! I came with my buddies and as we walked in we encountered Dom. He was extremely professional and kind. He gave us an in depth tour and an answered any and all questioned we had. The atmosphere was engulfing as you don’t go inside of an actual historic cathedral to smoke cigars. The music was upbeat, the decorations on point. Overall an asking experience. If you ever need a date spot this is it. As long as your date doesn’t mind smoke inside, that is.
We will be back as this is definitely our new spot to relax to music and the pond outside with actual koi fish in it!
Ann-marie Lindsay
Second time going to this place and absolutely love it! Dominic was super helpful and hooked us up with some good cigars! Everyone that works there is super cool. The bartenders Kat and Grace are THE BEST!
Ron Lilly
I’ve been to lounges all over the world, this place is quite amazing. The vibe is what you want in a cigar lounge. The outdoor patio is secluded, and cozy my wife was very comfortable there. Running into “the man Arturo Fuente” in the humidor was pretty cool. The drinks and staff are excellent it’s a must-see if you're in town.
Donovan Pedrero
The best cigar lounge in Cigar City. Great for the cigar aficionado and the bar hopper alike. Beautiful patio and koi pond outside, comfy seating and incredible cigar/alcohol selection inside. Awesome service as well. I recommend this place to friends, family, and colleagues as soon as they even draw breath to ask about good local cigar spots. Nothing comes close to Cathedral
Al Nesbitt
A great smoking experience....the Cathedral is a beautifully renovated church separated into a huge full humidor, a seated bar and multiple seating areas. Additionally there is a large outdoor area with heat lamps, fire pits and covered seating. And the cigars themselves...fabulous!! The hardest part was finding the right one to smoke since there were so many to choice from!!...All my trips to Tampa will include a stop at the Grand Cathedral Cigars store!!!
Andrew Flittner
An experience. Great selection of cigars. The venue is not even describable. It has the feel of a lodge and an amazing humidor. It wood work and finish in this building something to be seen. The outside patio has plenty of seating for as many people as you would like to meet. I found the staff to be incredibly helpful and friendly. Additionally their knowledge of cigars made thr experience even better. Must visit.
Josh
Very cool spot. One of my favorite cigar shops/lounges I’ve been to for the aesthetic. It’s massive, a huge place but still feels intimate and warm. Good cigar selection and very friendly service. Only complaint is that for as big as they are they have very little seating available for the general public. However if you wanna spend big bucks and get a membership there seems to be more available seating upstairs. As a visitor from out of town I would have liked more lounge options for myself. But honestly this isn’t a complaint just a minor nuisance. I still very much enjoyed my experience here.
Dawson Clarence
One of the best cigar bars ever! The staff is is welcoming & kind and has a solid knowledge of cigars to recommend based on your taste. The selection is unmatched for cigar bars in Tampa. I highly recommend anytime of day for a smoke.
anthony garzon
One of the best places in Florida to enjoy a great cigar , good Whiskey and cool people. Angela Yue is the owner and runs a great establishment. The cigar selection is magnificent and I've found premium favorites and new choices in cigars every time I go .
Bartley Settle
Visited here today and I was impressed! Of course the building itself is cool, both inside and outside. Outside there are several places with tables and chairs to enjoy a cigar. Inside has a huge humidor, full bar, places to smoke a cigar, and a members-only 2nd floor for enjoying cigars. The cigar selection is awesome. They also have me a 10% discount for buying a whole box of cigars. Great place!
Denni's Fontenot
The thought process that put this place together... Really nice. Court yard scenery, live music, good company. House blend is excellent. Staff was spot-on. Definitely one of my top five. Nice time had. I will be back soon...
Scott Godwin
One of the best cigar bars I’ve ever been to. Interesting architecture, in an old church building. Almost feels like you’re in a medieval mead hall in Europe. Good service, relaxed atmosphere, and friendly vibe. I’d come back in a heartbeat.
Dennis McCloskey
I was in town for work last week of June. Harvey and Ryan were very helpful and knowledgeable. They encouraged me to try their house label cigars in addition to my regular choices. Very tasty and affordable sticks. I’m in town tonight and look forward to stopping by, again!
Donald Reed
Fantastic cigar experience! Incredible selection, which in my opinion is the best in the Tampa area. Great selection of drinks and very professional friendly service. If you only visit one cigar bar in Tampa go here!
Joseph C.
The best place in town to grab a cigar and cocktail. The lounge is inside an old cathedral and the ambiance is AWESOME. The staff are very helpful and make you feel welcome. If your in Tampa, you have to stop by and grab a cigar and/or drink!
Marc Edwards
I’ve been here 4 times in the past few months and I absolutely love this spot. I’m not a huge aficionado and they take great care of me in showing me what to enjoy. Plus this place is a total man cave and the atmosphere is the most unique in Tampa Bay! Come try, you will be impressed!!
Dennis Leigh
Beautiful cigar lounge, large walk in Humidor with great selection of cigars and fully stocked bar. Our bartender, Alyssa, was well versed on craft cocktails, cheerful and had outstanding customer service.... We'll be back!
Levi O Williams
Great spot to hang out. Good music, good cigars and great place to have some drinks. Employees know of their products and try to set you up with quality cigars if you’re unknowledgeable about them. 10/10.
Michael Nelson
Always a grand and unforgettable cigar experience. Indoor and outdoor venues, excellent humidor with the finest cigars, very well-made cocktails and the BEST staff. See Jaime for cigars and Mikala for wonderful service.
Cameron Perry
Amazing atmosphere and wonderful staff. Dominic helped me pick out the right cigar for me out of their huge selection. And the girls behind the bar were super friendly and made some of the most fantastic drinks.
Slick E
Came to The Cathedral as novice cigar smoker from the waitress to the cigar sommelier excellent service. Come see Dominic he knows his cigars inside and out. Can help you if you are an everyday cigar smoker or new. The Cathedral is unique. I promise no humidor you have been to can compare to this place.
Ravi G
One of the best places in Tampa Bay to have cigars. Highly recommend you visit this place. The staff is friendly and recommend cigars with the right pairing of drink when asked. Cat - one of the mixologists mad great cocktails as well!
Daniel McFadden
Had a great time! Indoor/outdoor cigar bar with a delicious foodtruck on site, solid drinks and plenty of space. Very interesting and fun decor inside and the outside has a nice fountain. Definitely recommend if you enjoy a stogie once in awhile!

Great place to go by yourself or with any size group. They offer a great selection of cigars and drinks at the bar. Several places to sit, whether inside or out. The atmosphere is great and all the employees are friendly and willing to help as needed.

Came to Tampa for my bachelor party. I’m a very inexperienced cigar smoker but the staff was super helpful with picking the cigar right for me. The atmosphere was unique and would make a great experience for cigar smokers of any level visiting the Tampa area.
Claudia C.
Amazing Cigars lounge, with live music and great ambiance! I really recommend this awesome place!
Logan S (seventhflame)
Dominick's customer service was beyond belief. I went in looking for your typical "just smoke it" type of cigar and he put me onto a beautiful house blend that didn't make you feel like spitting every 2 seconds. Love guy and i just met him.
Zieed
Great vibe, staff and large selection of cigars. Awesome combo with the food truck, live music, and indoor/outdoor seating combo. Always a pleasure to smoke here

Julie R
Enjoy coming here so much. Love the atmosphere so much and the kind servers are fabulous. I wish they could work on the ventilation a little bit though. And, brush up on their martini skills. We received brown vodka martinis!!! Also, there was a man skulking about in all black giving everyone dark glaring looks all night. He made himself known as if to intimidate folks having a good time. Not sure his purpose but he was evident and obvious. Never seen that before, it WAS always a warm welcoming establishment.
Tyler Lash
Love this place!! If you’re looking for a good drink & cigar this is the place you want to be!! Great atmosphere! They also had a live band which made everything even better!!
Chynna Carroll
Dominick is the best first of all—MOREOVER, this was my first visit to Grand Cathedral and boy is it a bit stunning 🤩 I absolutely love the staff, the communitarian people and of course the selection of cigars. And I don’t want to forget the SIGAR DADDYS. I love love love this place—thank you! …

Incredible cigar lounge that redefines the definition of destination lounge. What an incredible use of an historic building which will serve its customers for years.
Tony Gomez
This is hands down the best cigar lounge in the Tampa Bay Area. I’ve been to others that are ok… but this place is great!
The staff (especially the cigar guy, Dom) is super attentive to your needs.
Im looking forward to returning soon!

Marlon Barksdale
Love this place, Dom the Bomb is the man very helpful and knowledgeable of cigars..
Horacio Rodriguez
Very nice place looking foreword to coming back. the bar and bartender is amazing. The interior of the lounge is beautiful and screams luxury as well as the outdoor patio. the humidor has very nice high end cigars but seems to lack a broad selection of brands. All the best selections from arturo fuente, padron, and even liga privada. Its not yet fully open, so i hope to come back and experience the rest of this beautiful location.

Ralph Dunne
Love Grand Cathedral Cigars! Great venue, especially the huge patio, with coy pond, fire feature and several seating options (outdoor lounge seats, tables & seating walls). They did a phenomenal job renovating this old cathedral into a casual, comfortable & cozy lounge. I love the exterior lighting at night, the Cathedral & patio are very well lit such that you feel like you are in a plush & intimate jungle garden!
They have excellent live music!!! I just wish they piped it outside, I know they are trying to be good neighbors so they don't want to disturb the neighbors with loud music, but the musical artists are so good, those on the patio should be able to enjoy the music as well, even at at low volume so as not to bother the neighbors. if they did pipe the music outside then those on the patio would also get to enjoy the quality & varied live music as well as those who are inside.
The Humidor is massive with an awesome selection of cigars. I love their 'house' cigars!! They are a great way experience various flavors & options, especially of you are a novice cigar smoke.
The staff are awesome, friendly & work hard to ensure everyone enjoys every visit. They are very knowledgeable about their cigar offerings and love chatting with the customers about their various cigars, flavors & history.
The have a food truck on site which offers a tasty nibbles & eats!!
Connie Gutierrez
First time here and Absolutely Loved the ambiance, it's very Eloquently done! Angela did an excellent job.

Ryan Hardenbrook
What. A. Place. Dominic is the king, Great vibe, not pretentious, just all about Cigars. A tobacconist’s dream. Great hospitality!
Jay Noetic (Thejaynoetic)
Looks like a full blown church on the outside but on the inside it's a beautiful cigar bar like I've never seen before. The upper levels of the cathedral are for members only however but depending on the time of the day you shotbe able to find plenty of seating for us regular folks. The bathrooms are immaculate and the staff is great.
Plenty of seating outdoors and food trucks is available as well. It's not the place you go to be seen it's where you go to not be seen. Select cigar's
James Griffin
One of my favorite places and I’m here almost as much as the staff. Nothing as relaxing as an old fashioned made by Nikki and a cigar Dominic picked out for me. I’ve been all over the world and have never been to a nicer bar & cigar lounge
elex perez
Great atmosphere, great house cigars! Completely recommended!
T s

Travis Burnam

Justin Wayne
Nice architecture. Wonderful ambiance. Diverse selection of cigars. Outside patio area with a bar in the back of the building. Helpful, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Not particularly noticable from the road, I've driven past numerous times before finding on search. Overall, an enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend trying it out.
Eric Padron
One of the nicest lounges I've ever had the privilege of smoking in. The staff is simply amazing. Very knowledgeable, very friendly. The selection of cigars is by far one of the best I've seen and I'm glad it's located in my hometown. It's definitely worth the trip to make.
Humberto Coto
Amazing atmosphere and friendly employees. This is my new cigar spot.
Mathis Bailey
Great time with the wife, good selection of cigars. OpusX is overpriced. Inside was crowded and smokey, not the best ventilation system. Employees were great, very helpful and prompt. We sat outside on the patio, which is very nice and spacious. Plenty of seating. Didn't have anything to eat, but it seemed very good. Limited parking. Would definitely go back for special occasion.
J Palmer
A memorable experience with unique ambiance.
Yan Campos
Awesome service, great selection, a must for cigar enthusiast.
Alex Thome
My go to place for cigars, an old fashioned and a chill atmosphere.

Best Cigars I’ve ever had in my life
Michael Carrig
This place is amazing!! Probably the coolest cigar shop I've ever been to. One of the guys there Dom is a wizard with cigars. If you can describe what you like he'll find a cigar you'll love. Doesn't matter if you are a green beginner or an aficionado your cigars are at this one place. Will definitely be back!!
Ryan Prendergast
The Grand Cathedral cigar shop elevates itself above the rest. Starting with the selection of cigars, almost everything a beginner or experienced smoker wants. Not only are the big name cigar brands in abundance, the house blend cigars are one of a kind. With the help of the amazing staff, specifically Dom, he was able to recommend their Sweet Connecticut “the Jesuit”! This was an amazing smoke especially paired with a coffee. Because of the service and advice Dom provided, I will be coming back a lot. The selection of cigars and the service provided by the staff is topped off by the amazing atmosphere around there. The patio is a beautiful place to enjoy an evening, the inside is an exquisite place and fits the cigar environment. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone and highly recommend speaking with Dom for either cigar recommendations or even for just a great conversation! I will be returning soon!
Kyle Harris
Best cigar experience in Tampa. Ask for Dom or Alex!
Aron Bryce
Fantastic cigars, amazing atmosphere, great service. 10/10
khughes2345
Awesome atmosphere and best walk in humidor I’ve ever seen. Selection was top notch, so many great cigars it was hard to choose. I wish I had more time to sit down and actually smoke one there. Could have spent all day there. Guy who helped me out was great!
Kevin
Grand Cathedral has an awesome selection of cigars and booze along with great seating and a great vibe.
Sarah Ojeda
GCG is a beautiful place! One of the best for cigars in Tampa. They have great cigars and great drinks. Plus, the outside patio is wonderful. There was also a food truck. The service is wonderful! Dom is a treasure and very accommodating.
Teresa Bailey
Cool spot for a cigar and a cocktail in Tampa!
Teddy Wilkins
This is my new go to cigar shop in Tampa. It's an old church that is only a few blocks from Armature works. The humidor is massive and the selection is impressive. Tons of indoor and outdoor seating. They also have a full bar. Great prices on cigars, the staff is knowledgable and friendly too.
Angel Valladares
Great place! Love the vibe and staff. Super friendly and will definitely be coming back.

Don Collins
Drove all the way from Dallas TX on a fellas road trip and this place was one of the best parts of the trip . Everyone was so helpful. The cigars selection was amazing. The bar selection was great. We hate that we missed Angela. Totally worth the stop .
colleen
Great new cigar lounge in the Tampa area! Definitely somewhere you should check out if you enjoy cigars. If you're new to cigars or just want a recommendation they have very knowledgeable tobacconists there to assist you, Dom is the best!! I personally recommend trying one of the Grand Cathedral house cigars. And ask for Nicole at the bar, she can make some amazing cocktails!
Carol Gratias
If you’re a cigar enthusiast, this place is not to be missed. You’ll be amazed at the selection of cigars as well as the overall decor and atmosphere of Grand Cathedral.
The staff and owners are more than welcoming and so helpful. You have to see this place in person to actually appreciate it. The outdoor seating area is phenomenal.
We will definitely visit again when we’re in Florida!
B Simon.
Such a beautiful establishment! I don’t really smoke cigars but it’s a really nice vibe in there. The bartender Nikki suggested a drink for me and it was very tasty. She was awesome! Will be coming back with my friends :)
Valentin Avila

Blue Dragon
Has an amazing atmosphere. The staff was really helpful and knowledgeable. The drinks were good too. The inside is amazing! They also have a really large outdoor area that is nice as well. We went there at night and the whole place was just beautiful.
Dan Engel Jr
Grand Cathedral Cigars is an amazing place. Angela the owner is very personable. When I was there she took time out of her busy day to have a conversation with me. Her staff is awesome. The place was clean and chairs were very comfortable. The humidor had an excellent selection. 5 stars all the way.
John Foval
Cigar enthusiasts HEAVEN. Talk to Dom when you come. The most gracious and knowledgeable tobacconist I’ve ever met. The service here is BAR NONE. This is all the Tampa experience you need in one spot. Food served wed-Saturday. Live music on Friday and Saturday. So many comfortable spots to smoke inside and out. Smokes you have never even seen all over the place. Exclusives like you can’t imagine. Members lounge is the most comfortable spot you can find. Don’t wait another second, come here and stay as long as you can. Fuente masterpiece.
Natalie Peterson
Dominic was very helpful and gracious. Definitely recommend this spot!
Lydia Nieves
Wow! We were definitely impressed! Beautiful decor and great atmosphere with awesome drinks. Our bartender Nicole was very welcoming and provided great service. We will definitely be back next time we visit Tampa!

New Attitude Performing Arts Center
Great atmosphere,the bartenders were awesome, too bad the guy at the front was so rude
Nayma Thornton
Grand Cathedral Cigars reminds me of the cigar revival I experienced 15 years ago. This merchant has a beautifully maintained in house humidor with an excellent selection of premium cigars. The cigar lounge is an exceptional place to sit back, relax and enjoy libations with your choice of cigars. Thank you for your service! I'm doing my part to spread the word. I'll be back very soon. If you don't visit, then your missing out on an incredible experience. Smoke 'em if ya got 'em!!!
Joshua Kindell
One of the coolest social places I've ever been. The decor, the service, and the selection are all incredible. Definitely not a place to be missed for cigar enthusiasts or even those with a cigar curiosity. Dom is the guy to talk to for cigar recommendations, local suggestions, or even just idle conversation. Stop in and see what I'm talking about.
Tee Morton
This place is awesome! Dominic was very knowledgeable and attentive....this is a must do when in Tampa!!!
Benjamin Carpenter
This place is money. If you like cigars, live music and atmosphere this is the spot
Mike Gianino
This place is beyond my expectations. Great selection of rare Arturo Fuente cigars, even better atmosphere. This is hands down the best and most attractive cigar lounge in the Tampa Bay area. Go check it out for yourself, you won't be disappointed.
Cole Norman
Amazing environment, my favorite cigar lounge in Florida!
The Daily Ash (The Daily Ash)
Grand Cathedral is the sister location of Lord Puffer Cigars located in Escondido California. This beautiful location has been renovated to accommodate one of the most luxurious cigar lounges and a humidor that will leave you in awe.
The same high standards and levels of customer service will set the tone as you walk in. The lavish decor and grandeur and nostalgia of the building will amaze you. The humidor will offer you cigars to satisfy the new cigar smoker to the long time aficionado.
When in Tampa there are a couple of must see places and this is one you want to add to your list.
Jason Midgett
I was greeted by Dom when I walked in. He is very knowledgeable not only about his cigars but also what drink would pair well with any stick in the humidor. The longer I stayed the more details I noticed. This place is top notch. My friends & I will be making this a regular stop whenever we are in FL.
cheri rodriguez
Great selection, friendly staff, and a beautiful relaxing courtyard.
Rick Nipper
The Grand Cathedral is one of the finest places to have a great cigar and drink. The atmosphere is out of this world and the employees are like your family. The team they have put together is second to none. Do yourself a favor and make this a go to place soon. No matter where your from make sure Grand Cathedral is on your list of things to do in Tampa.
Carissa Vale
A GREAT place! Staff is very helpful and informative, definitely will come visit again!
charley kirkley
This place is a gem, a true cigar smoking experience! A one of kind spot that really ups the cigar game in Tampa. The humidor has a large selection of Fuente’s including Opus X and vintage reserves along with all the usual staples within the cigar manufacturing industry. Go see Dominic the tobacconist. He’s extremely knowledgeable and his selections never disappoint. Make sure to say hi to Nicole at the bar. Always with a smile and a heavy hand. The decor has a very classic, country club feel with a lot of intricate details throughout. Give Cathedral a shot. It never disappoints!
Zariakarah Mygurlz
The ambience was magnificent, the cigars smells so good
Francesco DePinto
Had an amazing time came from Pennsylvania staff was awesome and on point with everything couldn’t have asked for a better experience
thomas arpin
They have large humidor with a nice selection of cigars. There's a comfortable lounge to sit in and the staff is very friendly and helpful including Nikki who was behind the bar when I was there. Highly recommend stopping by.
Jolene Methvin
What a beautiful lounge! A perfect place to smoke a cigar in Cigar City. Beautiful cathedral from the past, reborn while preserving its character and architectural beauty. The lounge has smoking areas inside as well as a huge outdoor patio. The humidor has the largest Fuente collection I have seen, but also has a mixture of other brands from high end to boutique. The staff is friendly. The bathrooms are clean. This is a new Ybor must visit.
Eduardo Aguilar
This is a new and very special place in the Ybor area. This cigar shop is so much more than that and was a converted cathedral. They have a great selection of cigars (Especially Foundation Cigars), a large selection of beverages both alcoholic and non and now they are also serving food. One thing you cannot overlook when stepping in is the overall design of this brick & mortar. Angela the owner did a great job in sourcing great items for the decor and creating a unique vibe that is all their own. This is a must visit when in Ybor for any cigar smoker!
Sandi Barrera
It was great to see Grand Cathedral honor the fallen today. Rest easy.
Jack Ryan Drake
Great atmosphere, great people, and great service. A must if you are in Tampa.
Alli Blair
Great atmosphere!!! Amazing staff!! A true great experience!!! Jamie and Dominic are the best they can help you with any cigar preference and they really care about their customers!! ❤️
DP01123
Such a beautiful place! My cousin told me I had to visit while I was in town from Miami and my only disappointment was that I couldn't stay longer. The hard work that was put into this location was beautifully put together. The Fuente family are such a wonderful, hardworking, and loving family and loved by so many. I will be back to visit soon, that's a promise.
Chris Vogel
My uncle Rudy Lauderdale showed me this place. Holy cigar it’s awesome!!! The atmosphere is just like dads back porch. The cigar selection is off the chain and im pretty sure its got the biggest walk in humidor i’ve ever seen in my entire life. They have full liquor and good beers. Cant wait to show my old man. He’ll love this place. Thanks uncle 🙏 💨
Jana Sabin
What an incredible place! Angela has done an amazing job turning this old church into a one-of-a-kind cigar lounge. She has put so much thought into the design, from the awesome humidor, to the grand piano, to the members lounge...I could go on and on! Can't wait to go back!
Pops GLS
I love this place! When I walked up I was greeted like an old friend. The cigar selection was AWESOME. Next time I fly back to the Tampa area I’ll be sure to stop in again.
Dean LoBianco
This cigar lounge is awesome! The selection of cigars is great and the house cigars are very tasty! I met the owner Angela who is very friendly. The staff is very polite especially Nicole!
Danny Gaines
I really liked this place. They have a great selection of cigars. The smoking lounge is really cool. Next time I'm in town I'll be sure to stop in!
Kevin Shahan
My wife and I were in Grand Cathedral Cigars about a month ago and we were absolutely blown away.
To describe the atmosphere:
It's old west saloon meets rustic log cabin meets the Ritz-Carlton.
And the proprietor, Angela Yue, was such an amazing hostess.
She is so kind, and so sweet, and her knowledge of cigars is second to none.
So if you're in Tampa or Orlando, heck, even if you're in Miami or Jacksonville, stop in for a cigar and tell Angela that Kevin and Jessica from Cigar prop sent you in.
You won't get any special treatment, because she treats everyone with kindness.
You won't get a discount either.
But maybe, just maybe, she'll sit at her piano and play you a special tune.
HECTOR RAMIREZ
Angela is the definition of exceptional customer service! Great personalized shopping with Grand Cathedral, definitely my new go to for cigars and accessories. You definitely want to shop with them first, and their selection is second to none!
john martinez
All around amazing!!! Great selection and very knowledgeable employees. Definitely will be back soon
Martin Boyd
Best cigar shop downtown excellent customer service ask for Eddy
Randal
It's a beautiful place with a huge selection of some of the best cigars in the world! Angela Yue has done an amazing job with the place and it has a warm and inviting ambiance to indulge in your favorite cigars while lounging and relaxing among great people.
Robert Ogden
Hands down best cigar destination in Tampa.
Amazing job on the restoration of this iconic landmark, huge walk-in humidor with THE best selection of cigars in Tampa. Full Fuente lines including Opus X, casa de Cuba, as well as MANY other boutique brands.
Full bar with large scotch & whisky selection!
Their hidden gem is their large outdoor patio, perfect for an evening smoke with a drink and friends.
Super excited this place is now open!
Manny Diaz
Great spaces both inside and out. Staff is extremely helpful with cigar recommendations and a bar experience that compliments it perfectly. Bring your friends and enjoy.
robert bache
Always enjoy my time at Grand Cathedral. The patio is perfect setting to kickoff a night out with a group of friends. The staff has been first rate, Nicole always welcomes you with a smile and fantastic service.
Luke Hawbaker
Great cigars and not too pricey
Barrett Swartz
Best cigar spot in Tampa. 6 stars if I could

Great place to enjoy good cigars and scotch!! Thanks to Dominic
Jamie Higgs
Carefully modified historic church has a new life as an elite cigar bar/social club. Large cigar selection Beautiful inside.Main floor open to the public. Outdoor seating with koi pond and large gas fire pit.
Dimitri Peros
Simply amazing, who in the world would think to repurpose an over 100 year old church into the must see destination of Ybor City.... aka the cigar capitol of the world? The GCC has set the bar for cigar lounges across the country if not the world. Just pulling into the parking lot of this grand building is impressive, but it is only the start of your experience. The monstrous size out door patio is not only huge, it has very comfortable furniture, fire pits to warm you, it is lighted and the water features are just insane. Talking about insane, once you walk into the Cathedral look to your right and stare in amazement of the over size humidor filled with some of the best, rarest cigars in the world I was like a kid in the candy store seeing box after box of rolled gold. Once you get over your hyper ventilating experience called the humidor continue inside and you can hardly believe what awaits you once you get into the heart of the Grand Cathedral Cigar experience. It opens up into this amazing 4 level open area including a large number of TV's and an old fashioned style bar that reminds me of a Saloon from the 1800's in Arizona during the push out west. I have to finish this review by mentioning that the staff here some of the most knowledgable, courteous people you will ever have help you in any business. Angela, thank you for making your business feel like home to my wife and I. We will be seeing you very soon!
jordan maiden
Nice place can’t deny the ambience and architecture but the pricing of any Fuente cigars is double normal retail at minimum if not more it’s cool to go once or special occasion but that may be it
Ryan Diersing
This is the most beautiful cigar lounge I’ve ever seen. There aren’t words to accurately describe it. I love all the old rustic wood throughout and the hanging plants and gardens. It’s a Fuente Mecca for sure!
austin taylor
Architecture is beautiful, the restoration was expertly done. Selection is generous, but well maintained and well selected. Staff are courteous and polite, and completely accommodating. Pricing is well placed for availability.

Pablo Rosa
Great place, great experience amazing 👏 service 👍. …

Tucker Chapman
The best service and cigars!! Thanks Dominic :)
Jorge Betancourt
My wife threw me a 50th birthday party and the theme was cigars and whiskey. She needed cigars for the party favors so we immediately called Dom because he is very knowledgeable. We told him what we needed and being the great tobacconist he is he recommended a house blend or a brand called Brickhouse by J.C Newman Cigars. We went with the Brickhouse he suggested and it was a hit! Everyone who had it loved it! If you guys have questions on any type of cigar go see Dom or call him. He knows his stuff!!!
Thanks Dom and Gran Cathedral Cigars you guys rock!!!
David Spindel
Beautiful place-great cigars
Jamie Hunter

Fantastic place to enjoy a cigar! Smoked my first Opus X there and will be returning any time I'm in the Tampa area.
Aaron Nye
This place was AWESOME felt in full lounge mode inside, very rustic, felt like a hunting lodge bar lounge was really cool inside, great outside area to relax and have a cigar or drink! Worth a stop in for cigar fan!
Jeremy Wilgus
This place is amazing. From the design down to the selection. This is a must for everyone not just the cigar lovers, but also casual smokers.
brian parker
Very nice place a little pricey but I expected that love the patio great atmosphere drinks were good not a cigar smoker but got to see a lot of friends

Jamie Zale
Great place! I recommend this place for everyone. Nichole will always male you the best drink while Dom find you the perfect cigar!
Harry Taliaferro
A very unique cigar lounge with comfortable seating. At this time, the Cathedral staff say it's only a soft opening as the members only section and the garden lounge is still under construction.
Christy Smith
Fun place, good vibes, great drinks
Mike Reiser
If you like cigars and are somewhat in the area, it's a must stop. Experience everything nearby, but this is hands down the best in the area. And if you are an AF/opus smoker, you will be in heaven.
Meagan McNease
Nikki is a great bartender and the atmosphere is amazing here. Everyone should head to Grand Cathedral Cigars if you want a good place to vibe with great customer service.
Steve Lozano
This truly is Tampa's shining star when it comes to Cigar Lounges. Angela Yue and her crew have out done themselves with this new cigar hot spot. They took a local historical building and transformed it into the Tampa Mecca for Cigar smokers.
This location has it all from a vast indoor open air feel of the brick lined walls to the breath taking outdoor patio area which will make one heck of a first impression .As soon as I made my initial steps onto the grounds I was left with a feeling as if took a trip back in time to the feel of the Old Tampa Cigar City days. While walking around inside I could visualize hearing El Lector reading famous novels to the cigar rollers working diligently on the factory floor. Thats how simply taken back I was by the Grand Cathedral... Heck even Carlos Fuente III has an office upstairs..... So if you truly love and enjoy the cigar lifestyle this should and must be on your bucket list while in the Tampa area.. trust me
Johnson Germain
Great place with an amazing atmosphere and cigar selection I would highly recommend it to anyone definitely can’t wait to go back!
SirRobbins
This place is fantastic! Great selection of Opus, Padron, Atabey, Ashton and AJ Fernandez. Bar is stocked, staff is brilliant! Great atmosphere! Come here when you are in Tampa!
Thomas Bonan
Excellent staff and selection of both cigars and drinks. Plenty of outdoor seating, with a spacious and sophisticated indoor area.
