B&M in the Phoenix Area?

[jonasclark]

I don't know Arizona at all. A friend has just moved to Casa Grande, is very bored andm, despite not being into pipes or smoking at all, randomly offered to scope out pipe shops for me. Is there anywhere I should send him? I'd be more interested in a wide selection of pipes than in pipe tobacco.

Edit: I understand there once was a shop in Arizona which employed a cigar roller, who would make them for customers. I recall watching a video of him ages ago. Not there any more, I'd guess?

Ye Olde Pipe Tobacco has three locations in the PHX area. Great B&M for both pipe and cigars.

They had Eso on the shelf on my last visit and at normal msrp prices.

Ye Olde is down to just one location, the Stag in north Scottsdale (NEC Scottsdale Rd & Pinnacle Peak). The other two closed down in the past year. They have a pretty good selection of pipes and tins though, and are the friendliest people around. Well worth a visit.

Big Sticks in Mesa has a modest selection of pipes, some tins, and a pretty nice selection of bulk blends. They also have a bar and huge lounge area so you can have a pint and relax.

I’ll second Stag, they are great! They have plenty of tobacco and pipes. they have an excellent selection in cigars as well. Big Sticks is closer to Casa Grande. Both are an hour plus drive.

Wow you guys are bringing back memories- the Stag. I was 15 or so on vacation and I got some cigars there. I remember that pipe logo on their website was on a matchbox back in the day. That was circa 1995.

If he wants to head south to Tucson the Anthony's Cigar Emporium n Broadway has a fair selection of pipes and tobacco's. The shop on Grant has a nicer lounge but a smaller selection.

Thanks! Anyone recall which shop had the guy rolling cigars?
