In the month leading to Father's Day, my son learned of my increasing palate for fine cigars…read more After learning that I craved the Cuban Cohiba, he began his search to surprise his father with a taste of one of their finest. Knowing that we had an Ensenada B.C. trip he decided he would search for the Cohiba Behike 56. Our Enesenada, B.C. trip was amazing and on the way home he requested a pit stop at La Casa del Habano located in Tijuana, B.C. Without debate I ablidged his request. Upon our arrival we were impressed with the design of the store front of the establishment. Once we laid eyes on the store we knew we were in for a great experience. As we entered the boutique style lounge we felt we were transported into La Habana itself. The fresh humidified space with a scent of earthy aromas stimulated our sense and my son quickly glanced at me with a look of finding the Holy Grail. As we entered the lounge we were greeted as favored patrons. From the cigar roller who was hard at work with the chaveta, fully committed to achieving perfection in his bubble of innovation. ...to the Ivy League Scholar Patron who was a sure double for Jonathan Goldsmith. The lounge created a sanctuary and space in which the convergence of all his senses would allow him to achieve a total state of relaxation. The store owner and Concierge as well greeted us with the warmest welcome. Intrigued to see my son and I in the store we began explaining my son's mission. As my son explained the quest for the Cohiba Behike 56, our Hosts quickly jumped at the opportunity to provide an even better match, the Cohiba Behike 54. My son's eyes light up to his reply of an even better find. As our Host escorted us into the Aging Room, the experience began to transform into a ritualistic procession. My son for the very first time experiencing the fine essence of the Cohiba brand, daring me to confirm the absence of immaturity in the 'Gar sample presented to us. Upon my approval and acceptance of his offering, a firm embrace inside the Aging Room an event that highlights a milestone I have been waiting for my whole life. The cigar was indeed a rare find, wonderful experience and equally as wonderful the experience we had at La Casa del Habano in Tijuana, B.C. I'll be in town next month on my way into inland Mexico and plan on stopping by and visiting my friends. Thank you for the wonderful experience!!

Walked in to overpriced cigars of questionable legitimacy lol. They're like 100+ dollars. The funny…read morething is that' they are rolling cigars there but I didnt see any cigars with their brand name on it? Lol walked in and right out.

I was carrying my three-year-old Leo B. from a parking garage to a restaurant for dinner when I caught sight of a display of colorful toy cars carrying surfboards, decorated with the words "La Jolla." Leo is a maniac for cars, and I decided to let him pick one, thinking it might keep him occupied and well behaved during our sit-down dinner. He was instantly mesmerized by the array of cars on offer and after taking a minute to consider, he selected a yellow VW bus, which his grandma stepped in and bought it for him. The man working the booth was friendly and pleasant, and we went on our way with the new toy, which did indeed entertain him throughout dinner and beyond. It's been in his top tier of toys all week, a cute, useful souvenir of our trip.

No food, I didn't ask about pets. Smoking is ONLY allowed outdoors on the patio which is a downside considering the temperatures in Alpine during summer time.

Parking is free in two small lots, one in front of the establishment, the other appears to be a shared lot with the restaurant next door.
