Barclay Rex is closing their long standing store on 42nd street near Grand Central terminal. Their lease expired and they could not afford the prohibitive rent that the location brings. That leaves only Nat Sherman (primarily a cigar store) as the only B&M remaining in midtown Manhattan to buy pipes and tobacco. When I started smoking pipes in 1973 there were dozens. It seems we're a vanishing breed. They are not going out of business as they're opening a new store downtown on Pearl St in the Financial district
As a consolation though they are having a clearance sale. 30% of all pipes up to $300 and 40% on more expensive pipes. I used that as an excuse to buy a beautiful Castello KKKK poker and an equally gorgeous Ardor Mecurio author (similar but much more graceful than a Sav 320)
