Talking about Tobacco Cabana in Cedar Hill, TX. The owner Jim is the one that came up with the beautiful quote, "Cigarettes are an addiction, cigars are a hobby, pipes are a religion". He is the only employee, all prices end in no cents or fifty cents and tax is included. If something's marked five dollars, you give him a fiver and you're done. He also takes his dog to work.
I went there last week and he told me this awesome story. He says he went down the road to get a haircut and left the dog in charge. He wasn't kidding; he says when he got back he found several notes, 'I bought an once of this and one of that; here's ten dollars'. The customers didn't find him in, so they did their own shopping, made their own change from the change drawer and everything. He says the dog's lousy at giving change because she can count but can't read the bills.
Just another example of pipe smokers being quality folks.
