Hey Guys, I run the West Georgia Pipe Club. We meet at a place called the Cigar Box in Douglasville, Ga. the 1st Thursday of every month from 5-8pm. When we started meeting there, the B&M had just come under new ownership and their pipe selection and pipe tobacco selection was minimal. I prepared a list of my favorite tobaccos and told them that if they started carrying any number of those, that their pipe business would pick up and that I of course would buy them. It has taken awhile, but this month I went in for club and they had stocked some of the tobacco I recommended. There was some Sutliff specifically Molto Dolce which I love, and also some MacBaren products, some Vanilla Creme Flake and some Dark Twist Roll Cake. They have also started carrying a nice selection of Davidoff Tobaccos and are considering carrying some from Villager. We as a club are getting to sample all possible blends from Villager and give our 2 cents on those before they place an order. They have also gotten in lots of very nice baskets, a few nice Nordings, some Kriswell's, and Savinellis, as well as pipe bags and other accessories. When our club meets they give club members 15% off any purchases that we make. And they have we, resident pipe experts, to help customers when we are in there. I also had some business cards made up for the club and my pipe restoration business which they give out to every person who buys anything pipe related. It has been a real win win and though it took awhile to both get the club off the ground and get a better selection of stuff in the shop, great things are happening. I have actually had 2-3 new guys show up at the last few club meetings. And now I have a local place to buy my favorite tobaccos. The B&M is a necessary part of what we do, so be sure to support yours either with a club, advice, or business and if anyone is in the Atlanta area, we'd love to have you come visit.
