Somehow I had no idea this existed…

Always seemed busy when I was there. Never got to spend a lot of time inside and enjoy a cigar.

I wonder if the closure was the tenant's choice or the Disney's. Given the changes made to the DTD/Springs made in the past decade, this seemed like a relic of the past compared to the "hip/young/affluent" image the Springs has been going for.

Damn. I really loved getting smacked in the face with the smell of tobacco products. Good riddance imo

Been there for more than 20 years , guests were allowed to light up their cigars in the store.

Never understood the appeal of cigars but can only image how expensive the rent most be getting to be DS.

Nothing screams Disney than the thing that took him..

I've spent many nights enjoying a cigar there. It will be sorely missed.

Sosa had unique products like Indonesian clove cigarettes which I enjoyed but I’ve been smoke free for 22 years now. Quit cold turkey.

If you did not like it why did you enter the small store?

I always thought it was a strange choice for Disney, but it’s always sad to see things go that people enjoy. Hopefully they replace it with something spectacular.

The construction walls opposite their doors have made it a million times worse. Good riddance honestly.

i’m not a smoker, but i kind of enjoyed the smell while walking past the store. my wife hated it & won’t miss it. for a store that’s been there a long time, it’s a shame that it’s closing for good.

When I went inside Sosa cigar, cast treated us like family. Willing to help and we get caught up in the many stories they told us. If some didn’t like it wear your mask

The concept of a "family" cigar store always felt a little strange to me...

 

[Kane88]

Personally I feel like this was a Downtown Disney/Pleasure Island long-term lease that WDW might have had to honor. As others have said, it was an odd choice. I would add that since May 2019, Smoking was banned from inside the theme parks (that hasn’t stopped people from vapeing but that’s another post for a different thread) and before that the smoking locations were being phased out to just one… Personally, I’m glad to see it go and can’t wait to see what goes in its place.

Boutique cigar stores still exist? Talk about relics from the 90s.

 

[Tori]

Good riddance

Let's see, I am going to go with that when you walked by you could smell the noxious fumes that came from the store. Good riddance to this place.

The fumes and smells while dining at Sci Fi at DHS made me lose my appetite.
