hey everyone - I have a short trip to San Jose tomorrow and Weds. I have Tues PM open and Id love to visit a good B&M. Are there any really good shops in this area? Really looking for a good pipe store as opposed to just a cigar shop that carries a few pipes and a few jars of baccy. Thanks everyone.

If you want more variety of tobacco skip mission pipe shop and head over to smokers paradise on Union/Camden. More bulk and lots and lots of aged tins.

I just Google Mapped it. It looks like they're pretty close. I hope I have the time, they close at 5:30 on Tues. :(

If you don't mind a 20 minute drive
Edward's Pipe & Tobacco

4546 El Camino Real, Los Altos, CA, United States
is one of the best B&M for pipes that I've been to in the U.S. The owner is an awesome dude, and they have a giant selection of pipes and pipe tobacco.

I used to go to Cupertino once a month. Here's my experiences
Edward's is great, but a little ways out like hfearly said.

On the other hand, I scored a 9 year old tin once at Smokers Paradise.

I wasn't too impressed with Mission Pipes, although it's a nice store.
If you're looking for a place to sit, hang out, have a bowl and chat, Edwards is the better choice. For scoring a rare find, Smokers Paradise trumps.
Enjoy the trip.
