Cincinnati Area Shop? (Or Columbus)

[Jbrewer2002]

Made it to Barclay's, a small shop, but welcoming. Picked up the last tin of MM965, and using their lounge to catch up on work email.
Breaking in my new Ashton.


Encountered snow for the first time this year, in the mountains of Maryland.

Did you make it to Jungle Jim’s or House of Cigars?

Did you make it to Jungle Jim’s or House of Cigars?

Jungle Jims. A bit overwhelming! I was unfortunately very tired, so I didn't try to see it all. Their Tobacco tins were primarily Peterson, at $19.99, which is a bit more than PA, so I just wandered around. I was trying to describe it to my wife last night, its impossible and pictures on the web don't do it justice. Their wine/beer/liquor prices were a bit more than here as well, so I left empty handed, but an interesting diversion after a long day on the road.

It can definitely be overwhelming. It is a bit high in price. I usually go there for the things I can’t get anywhere else. It’s especially great for getting ingredients when cooking international foods. There pipe tobacco is a bit limited but there’s not many places around there to get any pipe tobacco in tins.

The restaurant director I worked with on Thursday echoed your comment about finding an unusual ingredient.

Older thread I know but an FYI. OTR Cigars has a fantastic lounge, great cigars and usually quite a few tins of pipe tobacco. Plus the owner and employees are super nice. In addition the whole surrounding area is awesome. Findlay Market is a cool shopping experience.

I have it ear-marked for a future trip.
