About

I’m the CEO of Cigar Cigars for almost 30 years, I have a deep passion for premium cigars, have been smoking them for 60 years, and never get tired of trying something new.

Mike Fritz is a professional cigar smoker at Cigar Cigars with 16 years helping fellow cigar smokers find their favorite cigar. Specializing in relaxing and enjoyment, Mike uses that experience to connect with people and discover their next “go-to” cigar.

By focusing on Cigar Cigars motto “Where the Cigars are the Stars” he has made many friends among the cigar smokers. Mike is also retired from the United States Air Force and has been able to put that experience into everything he does. Over the years, Mike’s strengths at discovery have garnered some recognition for organization and ingenuity. Mike may spend his days at Cigar Cigars, but it’s the love of new things that drives him.

When Mike is not at Cigar Cigars, he enjoys Hiking, SCUBA Diving, and loves spending time traveling.

After I retired from the U.S. Navy with the rank of Master Chief Petty Officer, I started my career in the cigar business as a sales manager of Perdomo Cigars. Eventually, I was the Vice President of Sales at Alec Bradley Cigars. I "retired" from being a road warrior and joined Cigar Cigars Florida as General Manager and Partner.

I was Born on November 10th Rob went to public and Catholic school. Rob graduated from Bishop Kenrick High School, where I played baseball & football. Working in the customer service/retail business all my life, I found time to go to acting school for a couple of years. After having some success in theater (notably Tony ‘N’ Tina’s Wedding) and some film and radio work, I started working at Rebel Valley Custom Humidors in the summer of 2000. Early on, I learned a lot about the cigar business from fellow employee, Bob Roth. After the passing of Bob, I learned most of his cigar knowledge from our very own Paul in the fields. I became a partner with the company in 2007. The rest as they say in history.
