jake's cigar bar & lounge

After a day of roughing it on the Bourbon Trail it was time to relax and enjoy a good smoke. I looked up Cigar friendly bars and there were limited choices. You could go to a local Cigar store. You could go to a strip club, or you could go to Jake's. As Game 6 of the World Series was on, and I didn't want to miss the action, I choose Jake's. It was a good call.I was treated like a Kentucky Gentleman without being in a Gentleman's club. There's a Walk in Humidor and a full bar with Bourbon's from most your favorite distillers. I sat in a big cushy leather chair next to a table with a cigar ashtray big enough for my Saint Luis Rey 58 gage Churchill (great value at $8.50)and plenty of room for my glass of Woodford Reserve Double Oak, a deal at $12,00. It was the perfect combo for watching the Royals pound the Giants. The Bourbon Trail gives you a much greater appreciation for Kentucky history. I learned that Kentucky once was part of the Louisiana Purchase. That Bourbon County was once part of Virginia. That settler's started to move there in droves when the Whiskey Tax of 1791 drove them out of Pennsylvania. Kentucky offered homesteader's 400 acres of land to farmers who would grow 40 acres of corn. Bushels of corn were difficult to transport so farmers condensed it into liquid form, Bourbon. Bourbon County is now dry and was named in honor of the French who helped our Army defeat the British. Which is why the Royals will defeat the Giants in Game 7. Go to Jake's tonight to find out!
