Andy Thompson opened Hemingway’s Wine & Cigar Bar a few years back and has turned it into a great spot in Tavares. Hemingway’s has a nice walk-in humidor and serves a wide selection of beer and wine. Outside seating on W. Ruby St. is an enjoyable perch to watch the flow of peeps coming and going. Since TJ enjoys a good cigar and I enjoy a glass of wine with friends that has always been a stop when we are in the Tavares/Leesburg area. They have been supporting Thunder Roads Magazine ever since Andy opened his doors. Now Andy has added a new endeavor to keep him busy. Legacy Cigar opened in July and is right smack in the cool part of Mt. Dora at 525 N. Donnelly St. This spot also has a walk-in humidor for your cigar shopping! I love the gated porch for outside chatting with old and new friends. The new cigar shop is closed Monday, open 10a-6p Tuesday through Thursday, Friday & Saturday 10a-8p and Sunday 10a-6p. So, while in town for Leesburg Bike Fest or anytime you are in the area check out Andy’s enterprises. He loves to hear bikes pull up!
