I was down at the Pechanga Casino for their BBQ Festival (which was great by the way) and decided to stop in to Zarka Cigar Lounge just off the 15 & Rancho Calif Rd.
Zarka is unique among cigar stores in So Cal, in that they actually sell booze. They're a private club ($365 a year) that sells one day memberships for $10 that includes one free (house) beer, wine or cocktail.
They got a nice walk-in humidor, leather couches, big screens, pool table
AND A FULL BAR.
It was pretty empty on Saturday around 1:00pm, but I smoked a La Gloria Cubana Artesanos Retro Especialé (which is not a bad medium cigar) and enjoyed one of their house cold beers.
I would say "everybody was friendly" but it was really just me and one other guy. It's not nearly as smoky as my pictures look. I think the neon signs mess with the exposure.
Here are the pic's.
