[QUOTE="Tim_Haggerty, post: 318825, member: 1190"] I bought my first decent pipe and great English tobacco at Druquer's on University Ave. while I was at Cal in 1980-6. The other shop on Salano Ave. in Piedmont was good, but the older place had all that history and a fair amount of nicotine build up on the walls. I didn't know enough to realize what a great shop it was: I thought that all tobacconists were that good, and of course time has proven me wrong but I think most older college towns had a pretty good shop at one point or another. I occasionally search on the web for some of their tins, but haven't had any luck, so they're just memories at this point. But there was this guy who worked there who became GL Pease, so I suppose I have some bragging rights about knowing him before he got famous, if not necessarily rich. :) [/QUOTE]
