Our Story

Two Founders.
One Escondido Address.

Nathan Kalasho and Angela Yue built Lord Puffer on Las Villas Way and stocked it heavier than almost anywhere else on the West Coast. The Arturo Fuente family has stood behind this counter more than once — Lord Puffer has hosted Fuente Fever, one of the largest Fuente events on the West Coast, with proceeds going to the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation. That's the kind of thing that happens when a good cigar deserves a good chair, a slow evening, and people worth talking to.

Today we hold the largest walk-in humidor in the state, but the philosophy hasn't moved an inch. Still slow on purpose. It's the kind of room where the guy next to you might own the building down the street, or might be passing through from three states over. Either way — pull up a seat.

A Word From The Lounge

"Nathan & Angela are the best at what they do — good folks. The atmosphere is very relaxing and comfortable, from the patio set up to the inside lounge set up."

— Vachel Howard, Google Review

The Lounge

Three Lounges.
Zero Reasons To Rush.

Step past the humidor and you'll find three separate lounges built for three different moods — a leather-and-brick front room for regulars trading stories, a private lounge for the conversation that shouldn't carry, and a covered outdoor patio out back where the grill runs most Saturdays and the smoke drifts up into the California sky.

Keep a private locker with your name on it. Leave your favorite stick exactly where you left it, humidified and waiting, whenever the mood strikes again.
