Let me tell you about my favorite place to hang out on Florida’s west coast. I love the Little Corona Cigar Lounge in downtown New Port Richey. Owner Tim Fussell, Tom, and Heather (Carla) are the best. You feel like family the minute you walk in. Being a big cigar smoker, I love the walk-in humidor with a vast selection of smokes and being a big beer drinker, the more than 50 beers, drafts, and wines are more than enough to quench anybody’s thirst. When we are at Cotee River Bike Fest, Little Corona has become home base for Thunder Roads Florida. We have met many new local friends there and that’s where we have all our home friends meet up with us when they come over. There is plenty of indoor bar seating and a nice little outside covered patio area to hang out. 7 TVs are inside to watch the game. Tim retired from the Newport Richey Fire Dept. and he’s an old school biker, still riding an old hard tail 1950 Panhead Chopper to work. He’s always happy to see bikers pull up and come in for a smoke and or a beer and share a story. When you stop in tell ‘em we said hi!
