This store is a replica of San Diego's first tobacco store- opened in 1869. The building was destroyed by fire in 1872 and rebuilt in 1974.
Located at 2737 San Diego Avenue in the Old Town State Historic Park, the rustic Racine and Laramie Cigar and Tobacco shop is open daily 10a.m. - 5p.m. This is not just a tourist shop like many of the others in Old Town. The store has a huge stock and variety of tobacco and cigars. Two separate counters...one devoted just to cigars.
