College Station, TX?

[fireandoil]

Alright, brothers. Question for the Texas members: I'm going to be in College Station (home of Texas A&M) this weekend and was wondering if there was a legit pipe/cigar shop in the area. I'm looking for a place to have a pipe (the hotel is 100% non-smoking) and chill. Anyone familiar with the place and have suggestions? Or even suggestions on what to do on my evening off?
Much obliged.

Thanks, man. They're just a short walk from my hotel. Do you know if they cater to pipes at all? I only see cigar stuff on their website and Facebook pages...

Not sure. I am a few hours away, but there is a pic of a pipe on the home page.

Just received a really GREAT reply from the owner of Cavalier Cigars in response to a Facebook message!

Howdy,
We do cater to the traditional pipe smokers. We have a variety or bulk and prepackaged tobacco. Some of the lines that we carry include Mac Baren, Lane, McClelland, Newminister, and Drew Estate. We do allow smoking within our store. Please feel free to come hang out and relax. We are open Friday 12 to 11, Saturday 11 to 11 and Sunday 12 to 8.
Please let me know if you have any more question.

I'll be visiting them tomorrow for sure!

Thanks, Gigger48. It's a sandblasted panel billiard stamped "Piccadilly" and inherited from my grandfather. I've never had any success tracking down any info on the maker but it's a great pipe.

That was before I added a smooth beveled edge to it on a whim...
