This is San Diego's first cigar store and a living history museum. The staff is dressed in 1870s style men's wear. Primarily a tobacco and men's accessories store, they also offer antique furnishings from the period and historically accurate goods for sale. Cigar-box collectors should check the room off to the side where dozens of boxes fill the shelves.

The original building was one of the first six houses built in San Diego. In the 1860's it was remodeled and rented out as a saloon, bank exchange and tobacco shop. It is currently a family-run smoke shop with one of the best selections in town.
