This last Saturday I ventured to a local tobacco shop, El Humidor. They have some cool stuff in their store like chess tables, chess sets, big screen TVs with a leather couch and lazy-boys around to sit in and enjoy a smoke, friendly atmosphere.
They have a nice selection of pipes. Crap selection of tins. And a fair amount of bulk blends.
I bought some bulk toby from em at $4-something an oz, 2 oz minimum which i'm ok with...sorta, not really. And I picked up a cob for one of my friends and finally my FIRST ever tin of toby.
The tin of EMP cost me $19.95....from an online retailer it's $12. Me no like paying that much for 1.75 oz of backy so I will now pass on business with El Humidor for a good while because I feel i got shafted. Is this an acceptable price for a tin of EMP?
Customer service was average, although the guy that was helping me out didn't know jack about jack. He said he just picked up the pipe himself (a downright lie) the only thing this guy had ever done was smell all of the bulk blends and maybe smell a few of them being smoked in the store.
Just overall a good store for the pipe smoker with munnies to burn. Not for me.
