Great cigar club. The staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Shoutout to Josh for going above and beyond to rectify my buddy's locker situation, and for taking good care of us. & David is a good guy, too. Always friendly and super helpful. This spot used to be called the tobacco barn, but they rebranded last year. Same amazing owners, and same great quality of service- just different name. I like coming here as it is usually quiet, so you can get some work done if needed... & the members I've crossed paths with have been good, kind, and decent people. That said, the camaraderie of the lounge is a plus. They also have a good Selection of sticks to choose from, and the place is well lit. Good cigars, good people, great place to decompress/relax solo or with friends... what's there not to like? read more

Great Place & Great service. I bought a pipe from a well known manufacturer there. It was nice, but after using it, I realized it had a manufacture defect that would become challenging down the road. Cigar Spot went out of their way to make sure I was taken care of, and even the manufacturer rep went out of his way to reach out and help. Overall very satisfied. read more

They deliver! By far one of the LARGEST humidor cigar shops with even the hardest to find cigars in the entirety of CA. Josh helped us and gave the yelp discount. Was a great salesperson and super easy to ask read more

Amazing selection of cigars and a true staple of Lake Forest. Went in there and was browsing all the varieties and the employee Taylor asked if I needed some help. I was looking for a cigar I had about a week ago that my buddy gifted me. They didn't have that particular brand, but he recommended something he felt was similar to what I was looking for. It was a great recommendation of a smooth mild to medium smoke. Definitely coming back to get more! read more

Great selection, knowledgeable staff, friendly environment...and all the accessories I needed.

Very friendly staff, insightful and has a lot of varieties of cigars. If you love to smoke and chill, there's a cool card table and smoking lounge in the back! read more

I literally cannot compliment this establishment enough. Every time I make a trip down to Tobacco Barn I leave with more stuff (and knowledge) than I intended to. I've never had a bad experience, faulty product, or sub-par smoke. The main gentleman I deal with (I forgot your name), the tall guy who likes Pho haha, is just soo damn knowledgeable and friendly. I go here from time to time to check out new and used Pipes, and Pipe Tobacco. They always have a Dunhill Pipe or Two in the Estate case, and their new inventory is always fresh with new arrivals. You can find everything from a $30 Rossi, to a $250 Peterson, to a $400 Root Briar Dunhill. I left today with a Block Meerschaum EASILY worth $200+ for $100 flat with the case! I don't understand how they make money here, their prices seem unreal. My singular complaint is the Pipe Tobacco selection: It's basically House Blends, or Cornell and Diehl, that's about it minus 5-8 tins of random stuff. To be fair, this is abs a Cigar Favoring business when it comes to selection, but their house blends of Pipe Tobacco are NUMEROUS to say the least, they offer something for everyone. I wish I had more excuses to make the drive, Tobacco Barn is here to stay! read more

Good solid shop. Good selection, knowledgeable staff. Membership ;ounce has multiple big screen TVs, soda machine and shuffle board.

Amazing cigar selection for purchase. Also, a nice lounge to smoke. Friendly and helpful staff.

Amazing advice on cigars and great customer service. Spent the evening with group of friends for birthday and they took very good care of us. Their private lounge was perfect for guys hangout. Allowed outside food and "drinks" and were eager to assist with anything we needed. Can't wait to go back. read more

Great cigars and prices. Staff is amazing...the lounge is welcoming and conversations provide a Master Class in all subject matters. If you're local or new to the area give it a try. read more

Always loved coming to this place. I tried coming on a Sunday night at 6pm, made eye contact with the cashier outside when the door was locked and he walked away. The hours are until 7pm on Sunday's. Long loyal customer lost. Sad! read more

I made the drive out here from Temecula and this spot is solid. This place has an excellent selection to choose from. I was primarily looking for Foundation Cigars and this place has a great selection from Foundation. I was hoping they had the Olmec here and they did! You have to spend a minimum of $30 to smoke here which is no big deal. The lounge area is excellent. Definitely worth the drive and will be telling the guys back at home about this place. Definitely will be here again in the future. read more

This is a great cigar shop with an excellent selection. The service is outstanding, and the owner is a standup guy.

I am not a cigar smoker but I am a cigar box user. They work well for my crafts. The people are chill and it's always a chance find. Some weeks I can find ten, this time only one, but it was very special. Large like none I'd seen before. I recently sold my car so to get to the Tobacco Barn I have to hire a driver or use Lyft. So last time I took my little old ladies' shopping cart and shopped the whole row on foot. Tobacco Barn, Mexican Deli, Pet smart, pier 1, Staples, Ralph's and even walked across the street to Sprouts. My cart was full and I was tired. So took a Lyft home (I never use Uber) put my stuff away, ate my tacos and took a lil nap. A successful day! read more

Very Nice Place, huge supply of both cigars and Pipe Tobbaco. Attendant was helpful in directing me to some of there custom Pipe Tobaccos. Also bot this years Top Cigar "Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Maestro" and a favorite My Father! Decent values. read more

If you're a pipe smoker this the only place to go in south Orange County that truly caters to us. From their myriad custom blends of tobacco to the selection of new and estate pipes to the knowledgeable pipe smoking staff you'll be with kindred spirits. Being open until 9:00 most evenings is also a great convenience. I'm so glad I found the Tobacco Barn and no longer have to settle for smoke shop offerings. They're also a great purveyor of cigars with a smoking lounge. read more

Maybe the worst lounge I've been to. I'm not sure if you need to be a regular in order for the employees to greet you but thats what it seems like especially when a regular walks in 2 minutes after and the employee all of a sudden knows how to speak. Im not sure if I screwed his wife or something, I mean why else would a grown man act like this? Very feminine trait. And to makes it worse the price at check out don't match the price they advertise on their boxes. Which makes sense why they don't tell you what your total is at checkout and just say, "ready when you are", and dont offer you a receipt. EXTREMELY shady. When I got my receipt (after requesting), I check to see what I was charged and of course the AF that was suppose to 11.99 was actually 15.99 and the Tatujue that was suppose to be 10.99 ended up being 13.99, BEFORE taxes. This place is horseshit, there are way better places with respectful employees and honest prices ...the employee that was working was the female with the bald head and a beard. This happened around 2pm on 5/31/23. read more

As an aficionado stockbroker from LA I am very impressed with this place. Ask for Jay awesome guy, great service. Guys like J make you want to come back! read more

The staff called me back after a week and made up for the confusion. They explained they are in a transition phase and I can respect that.

Since I don't smoke cigars this was not the place I was hoping for, but it's a very nice store with great service and a huge selection. Very clean, love the set up, perfect for gifts or if you are looking for something specific. read more

Great place, it is a private membership lounge. Asked the guy can I pay extra to use the lounge? Told me if I spend $20 or more on a cigar I can use it for the day. That is a killer deal considering most cigars cost in that range. If you want to know if a cigar shop is legit, one of the main indicators is if they sell Padron cigars. They had a great selection of Padron cigars and a lot of other good brands. The lounge was huge, I would love to go one day to watch NFL games there. Place looked like ESPN Zone, ton of TVs great seating, amazing ventilation. This is exactly how you do a private lounge. I loved it read more

Holy Crap. This place has been around since 1929?! I was introduced to "the Barn" a couple years back. They have a great selection of cigars and tobacco and seem to always be increasing their inventory. The staff is amazing. These guys are the most friendly people you will ever meet. IGo in any time and hang out in their lounge. Staff and clients alike treat new clients like they have been friends for years. Stop in and say hello. Let the owners know that ERic sent you! :) read more

Always a pleasure stopping in and picking up some righteous house blends of pipe tobacco. Friendly staff and great tobacco selection make this destination a must. I drive all the way from San Pedro to stock up. read more

Large cigar shop with a very good selection. Employee on-site was friendly and knowledgeable. However, they are no longer allowing non-members to smoke on-site, no matter how large your purchase. Memberships, I was told, "start at $40 a month." Those who may have come here in the past both to purchase and smoke should take note. read more

One of my oldest & best friends manages this shop so I'm obviously biased. But the people here are just as amazing as the gigantic selection of cigars. You will find the most down to earth and chill patrons at this shop & all the employees will assist you with helping pick the perfect cigar for any occasion or mood you're in. read more

I travel a bit for work and try and hit cigar stores when I do. It allows me to see what other people in different parts of the country are smoking. During these travels I've been fortunate to meet some of the nicest and helpful people smoking cigars. Tobacco Barn is just a bit different in my experience. The store is divided into two parts humidor and lounge, to do this they take up two storefronts in a strip mall. The staff is very helpful in helping you identify cigars that fit your palette and pocketbook. Josh is the GM and has a wide breadth of knowledge of what he stocks, which is extensive. The lounge is a membership type but you can get access by buying at least two cigars. It is well appointed with barrel chairs a couch and a half dozen or so tables and chairs. The lounge has a vending machine for sodas or water and a pod coffee maker. There's the normal big screen TVs and a giant projector screen. Off to one side there's a quiet room room with plenty of seating if you want to get some work done without the distractions of the TV. They host special events on a regular basis including a live Jazz band on the 1st Friday of the month. The band is a group of professionals that play great tunes. If your in the area you owe it to yourself to stop by and check it out. read more

Alway great customer service. They have a very great selection of cigars. Not to mention a selection of high end cigars.

Came in with a coworker to celebrate a successful launch of a new project. A nice selection to choose from. I didn't know what cigar to get as it has been a long time since I had one. I asked for advice and was given a great recommendation. We sat in the back and enjoyed our cigars while we hung out and shot the breeze. It was really nice with the couches and chairs. There is another room where guys were playing a game. I have been back a few times to get more cigars and enjoy on my patio. I love that it's walking distance from my work too. read more

"Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar" - Sigmund Freud* "Happiness? A good cigar, a good meal, a good cigar and a good woman--or a bad woman; it depends on how much happiness you can handle." - George Burns With specific regard to what *Siggy may or may not have said about cigars...they are never "just" cigars. Whether they are thick and stubby Robusto's or long, slender and elegant Lonsdale's or even (one of my personal favorites) the massive Churchill's and Presidente's...they are much more than just a smoke...they are an extremely masculine statement (and mine is generally bigger)! Sigmund thought that smoking cigars was symbolic of a particularly "male" perspective on things...all cylindrical and turgid, glowing red at one end and emitting billowing clouds of white smoke...hold on a second, I need to collect myself...and I agree! I certainly enjoy everything that George Burns mentioned...and I (for one) feel extremely manly about it! And never more so than when I am brandishing a great big cigar and squiring the Beautiful Carin around on my arm...the testosterone is practically exploding from my every pore! It's not that I'm not in touch with my feminine side...I am...but (in all candor) it's a long-distance relationship with a very small place...and I haven't called there in a long, long time. No, I am manly...and if you don't believe it, you should see the massive cheroots that I routinely put in my mouth! With that in mind, I am always on the lookout for something manly to do...something beyond macho (at least as befits my age and station in life...X Games hi-jinx are not really my style any longer) and my good friends at Yelp steered me to a cigar shop out in Lake Forest. I don't spend a lot of time in Lake Forest...I mean, why would I...but I will be spending time there in the future, that's for sure! And the draw for me is the Tobacco Barn. The Tobacco Barn is one of the single most masculine places (that does not involve boxing or steam baths), that I have ever been to in my life! The shop itself is certainly nice enough...a decent selection of cigars (some of which I hadn't seen around here previously...nice touch) and all of the accouterments to help you enjoy those tumescent delights! And the service from Tommy and the rest of the gang is just first rate! But the real charm of Tobacco Barn is the back room...and anywhere with a back room is already at four stars...with a bullet! It's a private back room...well, private to anyone who pays the monthly fee to be able to use the back room...or the daily fee...or who buys enough cigars for them to waive the daily fee...OK, I guess it's not all that private. Still...it's pretty quiet back there...on one side of the back room there are large, comfortable easy chairs and sofas so you can relax and have a conversation with your cigar buddies...or just contemplate the engorged and glowing red end of your cigar, and expel white smoke from time to time...if that's your thing. They even have a wall or two full of cigar lockers (so I can keep my extra 4-500 cigars stashed someplace handy)...nice touch! On the other side of the room, big TV's, a billiard table, a fridge and...game tables! For games...manly games...card games, dice games, dominoes...games! I show up there and everyone is my friend...even guys that I have never met are my friends! It's the bro code writ large...cemented by a mutual love for cigars...and very egalitarian! There is no pretense in the back room at Tobacco Barn...no cliques and no puffery...no bitchiness...from CEO's to fresh faced interns, everyone is on the same level (well, except for the size of their cigars) and everybody talks to everybody...and no one ever "overshares" about personal crap (as manly guys, we don't really want to know). Drop by Tobacco Barn anytime and if you happen to make your way to the back room, you might find me relaxing and chatting with my buddies over a good cigar! You're welcome to fire up a Pyramide's and join the conversation...just keep all the deeply personal stuff to yourself, OK? I don't want to have to slap you. read more

I have seen many things in this world of ours that would cause an ordinary man to drop to his knees, openly weeping, overcome by the transcendence of the experience. The morning sun rising over the pristine beaches of Phuket, Thailand, scattering rays of crimson across the sapphire blue seas and causing grains of sand to sparkle like so many precious gemstones. I've spent days among the untouched rain forests of the Amazon, miles from civilization, basking in nature at her most pure. I've wrestled alligators in the depths of the Everglades in the morning, only to wrestle supermodels in baby oil in the evening. I've drank the finest whiskies, the worst beers, and the most average wines anyone has ever made. When Batman needs assistance, he lights a signal in the sky for me. What I'm trying to tell you is, I've seen and done some crazy shit. Listen, then, to how I was brought low with rapture by the most seemingly innocent of pursuits. A quiet Saturday. Innocent, even - a warm midsummer heat made bearable only by the gentlest of ocean breezes. The radiating sun gently cresting past the height of the sky, making promise of the gentle evening to follow. The desire to experience such splendor with the finest of handmade tobacco products in hand, the smoke lazily caressing the palette like the most intimate of lovers. This, my friends, is how I came across the Tobacco Barn, a shining city upon a hill that leaves all other purveyors of fine tobacco products to shame. I was immediately overcome by the majesty of their humidor, falling to my knees and crying out to a God that had finally answered my prayers. My tears were tears of joy, tinged with the shame of knowing that, in all my life, I could never create something so perfect. It was as if the heavens themselves had parted to make room for the lounge, crafting the chairs from the softest clouds of air and the water from the purest of aquifers. I tore at my hair, knowing that my life had finally been made complete - and knowing that, were I to breathe my last breath, I would be happy with the knowledge that I had experienced such a sight. Imagine, if you will, the most delicious of meals, followed by your favorite dessert, followed by the deliberate seduction of the beautiful girl you pined over in high school, giving a sensuous dance just for you while Kate Upton and Jessica Alba hand-fed you grapes. The delight in taking them all to your chambers, and indulging in a night of hedonistic celebration that would ring through the annals of history. It wouldn't even begin to compare to the experience of the Tobacco Barn. One cannot tell you what this experience is like, only lead the way and hope that you follow. Experience it. read more

Walked into the store late Friday Nov 23, and I got Great customer service from a young gentlemen and I regretfully cannot remember his name! I had no clue what type of cigars to purchase for my uncle and his Friend . They are cigar smokers and I wanted to surprise them with great cigars that suited their taste. Needless to say the guys were quite pleased ! Thank you for the Very professional and attentive customer service - much appreciated! read more

Truly one of orange county's gems. If you area cigar or pipe smoker or just want to have a different cultural experience, get over there. It's a great store with tons of selection, great service, friendly people, a lounge with big screens, beverages, and wonderfully comfortable furniture. It's a place to go have a smoke and converse with friendly and interesting people. The prices are also very competitive as well. I've traveled all over the world and been to many tobacco shops and lounges, and I still think this is one of the best. I highly recommend this place. read more

I live pretty far away from this place and had heard great things about it through friends and on the Internet. They probably have the best Cigar lounge in Cali. They have a mini golf area, big movie screen, multiple LCD screens, pool table, and a vast selection of cigars. Mas, who helps run the place is a great manager and person to deal with and a true tobacconist who knows all about cigars and can help u figured out your preferences on cigars if you're a new smoker. It's definitely worth a long drive! Their regulars are also so friendly u almost think some of them even work there. read more

I stopped in to visit Tobacco Barn today after hearing about it for years. I'd been meaning to check it out sooner, but it's kind of a trek from where I live in Long Beach. So nice to find a tobacconist that still cares about us pipe smokers. Ever since the 1990s it's been all about cigars in most places. I got nothin' against cigars. I like a good one now and then. But it's sure great to find a place where pipes and pipe tobacco are more than a mere afterthought. Tobacco Barn is such a place. I got fantastic, friendly customer service from Tom. I bought a Zippo butane pipe insert which Tom filled with fuel and adjusted the flame for me. Then he steered me toward one of their house blend pipe tobaccos when I told him I like to smoke straight Virginia. Just a super nice and helpful guy. Good selection of pipe tobacco tins in the shelves by the front door. I saw a few tins there that I haven't seen anywhere else except online. At decent prices too. Even though it's a bit out of the way for me, I'll definitely be back. Tobacco Barn is worth the trip. I need to check out the pipes in the pipe room more closely next time. read more

Stopped by this location a little hesitant and felt like it would be intimidating. I am a newbie and wanted to start with a few sticks and a humidor. Tom, helped me. He walked me around the store and explained things in great detail and you can see his knowledge and passion when he talked about a cigar, the company and its history. He basically, set me up with a newbie starter kit at a great price. read more
