I found myself in Cincinnati Friday and most of today for my 2 younger son's end of season hockey tournament. I was out in Reading, so decided to wander over to 2 nearby b&m's.
Carrousel Keyer Tobacco Shoppe is a hole in the wall, and I loved it. The air was thick with smoke as I walked in. The proprietor, who's name I neglected to catch, was very welcoming. There were many jars of bulk(mostly Stokkebye) and a few tins. I picked up 4 oz of LBF and tins of Westminster and Briar Fox. I left behind a McClelland Royal Cajun from 1996. Didn't have the heart to buy it.
Later I visited Bell's. Johnny, the owner, was very gracious and talkative. They had several Sutliff bulk blends, but not many tins. I did pick up a tin Of Old Dark Fired from 2013.
Both stores had very nice stocked humidors, which I will take advantage of next time I'm up that way.
