Same here, when I have time. I'll be headed to Boston in May for work, and you better believe I'll be making a stop at Peretti. Same goes for TCS in Jackson. Looking forward to both.

I live in a pipe tobacco wasteland so the online and small mom and pop stores got me all my tobacco.
I'll have to hit Cup O'Joes in Lake George sometime. I've driven through it a bunch of times heading to Montreal, even stopping for lunch there a time or two. Didn't know Cup O'Joes was there or I would have sought it out. And yeah, every time I stop in Lake George, I always think to myself I should just vacation there.
Been to Nat Sherman quite a lot, but not in a few years. So conveniently located if you're taking the train in from Connecticut. like a 10 minute walk, if that, from Grand Central. I think it's still there. Great place.
Don't mind me, I just have a running joke about the old days of classic Tinder Box selling weird tchotchke along with their tobacco blends (i.e. pixie figurines, silly looking canes, etc) . That's how it used to be when I was a teenager. Every shopping mall had a Tinder Box selling mostly ornamental doodads.

Yeah, pixies, wizards, dragons... all that shit. That hobbit crowd was around back in the 70s too. Mostly playing D&D and heading off to Tinder Box for cherry tobacco.
A lot. Was able to hit the last two shops in LA- Tinderbox and Kramers before they closed. Road trip to Palm Springs- Hit the Sanctuary in San Luis Obispo. Good pipe shop in Santa Barbara, and then Palm Desert has a good one.
Smoking Lounge in Santa Barbara. Two pipes acquired. Great spot.

In the Boston area Erlich and owner Paul is always a pleasant visit; no tinned tobacco, only house blends, but a good cigar selection.
Peretti has never been an inviting place....and believe me, I've been here a long time have given many chances. Some good tobacco and some truly horrible people...I've not been there in two years now...I'm done with them.
Watch City West of Boston has a very good cigar selection, but best of all some very excellent pipe tobacco's...tinned and house blends, and it has Ernie Q, who is a nice fellow to visit with.

This right here. I always stop at Ye Olde Pipe and Tobacco when I’m in or going through Phoenix. Not much in the way of pipe centered B and Ms in Tucson. Some great cigar shops (Anthony’s Cigars) but not much pipe tobacco.
Does anyone have a favorite in Colorado?
For me in London it has got to be J J Fox and Davidoff (very close to each other). There are probably one or two more that I need to check out too.

If you are heading to Boston you also want to get out to Cambridge Square and stop in at Leavitt & Peirce, its just steps away from the T (their subway).
Still in the same place, was there over the Christmas holidays. Their Hobart cigar was created in honor of my graduation from Hobart College in 1992... the fact that Larry Sherman was in my class may also have had something to do with it.
Looks fantastic, I'll be hitting it up for sure the next time I'm in SB. There is actually a new B&M in Los Angeles, Tobacco Trader at 12967 W Washington Blvd, Culver City 90066. Smaller shop, but it is a real pipe and cigar shop, and not some vape/head shop with a few ancient bags of Captain Black gathering dust.
When in Denver you should stop in at Edwards. Huge selection of tins and pipes and also a large humidor. Smoking rooms and a patio in the summer.
from what I hear nobody likes driving there. Still haven't been there.
This is an important thread IMHO. I like to support local shops, had three great shops in Columbus OH when I left the area in 2008. Now I’m in a desert, nothing but grocery store offerings.
