Someone here mentioned that there was a cigar and pipe shop on The Hill, which is the Italian area of StL. It's called The Hill Cigars; went there today and was amazed. The only other shop I have been in since I started smoking a pipe is Dengler's in St Charles. Dengler's doesn't let you smell the tobacco before you buy, but this other place does. Does anyone else know of stores that have a no smell policy? I think it's very strange, but I have no idea whether that's common.
I didn't get any tobacco, but I did pick up a couple of new MM cobs. Got a Night Rider and a straight Country Gentleman to go with my bent one. $30, no shipping. The store had lots of tinned tobacco, which I had never seen before, plus they had a selection of by the ounce blends in canisters. Lots of very expensive pipes there, too - I think I have some ideas to share with my family for upcoming gift giving events.
