 Pedro Rivero Jr. has brought a little bit of Ybor to  Carrollwood with Club Habano Cigars, which opened last  
 month.

 "Yes, there are other cigar stores up here, but we're really a
 cigar lounge," said Rivero, a former cigar salesman.

 In addition to wine, beer and homemade sangria (Rivero said 
 he only tells customers the secret ingredient), Club Habano
 sells a variety of cigars, including a Dominican House Blend
 at $4 per stick, midrange brands such as Camacho for $8 to
 $15, and a 1964 anniversary Padron for $30.

 Mahogany surrounds the club, which has domino tables, leather couches and three big-screen televisions.

"We've set it up so people can come in here and just relax," Rivero said.

Club Habano, at 11642 N Dale Mabry Highway in the Outback shopping center, is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday; and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.

For more information, call 813-269-0400.
