Here’s how we got there—
You’d best take a bath and clean up and powder under both armpits in Clayton Missouri, it’s a high toned neighborhood. The police ride around on horseback.

This is the largest and best pipe shop I’ve ever seen in all my life, waking distance from the enormous St Louis County Courts. They have more cigars and pipes for sale than anyplace I’ve seen, ever. They have about any kind of luxury pipe tobacco you’d want, all in oak racks behind glass.
Most of the cans of tobacco are not priced. If you have to ask then shop elsewhere. I requested the owner’s choice of five little cans of the absolute best grades of aromatics and he delivered. All five are German imports and are wildly aromatic and yummy.
I bought about $140 worth of tobacco and a $25 lighter and an $80 pipe and the sales tax of 10.24% brought the total to $270. The receipts are NOT itemized.
My $124 list pipe was on a discount rack, the owner said were all discounted 40%. There were a lot of Dunhills beside it a special cabinet, some over a thousand dollars, although not discounted.
They have a huge walk in pipe room and an even larger walk in humidor. There are personal cigar lockers and smoking rooms front and rear.
If you want it, they probably have it or can order it.
If you want to see these pipe shops—-hurry.
I was the sole customer in the store. It had the emptiness of a tomb about the place.
The owners claim their main seller is cigars to the business crowd (there are Fortune 500 employers all over and it’s the county seat) and tariffs forced them to raise all cigar (and pipes and tobacco) prices from 8% to 20%.
I was sort of surprised and asked, your customers here don’t check prices and surely if they can afford one can afford two dozen?
And they said if a man has came in here every day to buy nine dollar cigars for years and years, he may not pay eleven dollars.
I can’t even imagine their rent in downtown Clayton.
There’s no good place to park. My wife said all the parking meters are some kind of subscribers only. Seriously.
When I had cases in Clayton I used huge parking garages, but they keep the streets open by large fees to park.
