Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel for Premium Cigars International, Ltd., an Arizona
corporation  (the  "Company"),  in  connection  with  the  preparation  of  your
Registration  Statement  relating to 1,900,000  shares of Common  Stock,  no par
value, of the Company, as well as up to 285,000 shares available pursuant to the
underwriter's  over-allotment option, and up to 170,989 shares issuable pursuant
to representative's  warrants. As your counsel in connection with preparation of
the  Registration  Statement,  we have  undertaken  such  examination as we have
deemed relevant.

     On the basis of and subject to the  foregoing,  it is our opinion  that the
shares to be issued and sold by the  Company as  described  in the  Registration
Statement   (including   the  shares   issuable  after  valid  exercise  of  the
representative's  warrants) have been duly  authorized and, when issued and sold
on the terms described in the  Registration  Statement,  will be legally issued,
fully paid and nonassessable.

     We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the  Registration
Statement  and to the use of our name under the heading  "Legal  Matters" in the
Registration Statement.

                                          Very truly yours,

                                          /s/ Titus, Brueckner & Berry
