Your out somewhere new or unfamiliar and you happen to come across a b&m store

This happened to me today when flying from Stuttgart airport. Although I've flown from here countless times I'd never been in terminal 2. Due to a delayed flight I took a wander and found a store with about 20-30 different types of pipe tobacco. Most of it different from the usual offerings in the UK!
Picked up a 100g tin of W.O Larsens Black Diamond. Will definetly be going into terminal 2 on my next visit

Good for you. Here in the USA we've gotten so crazy at the airports that I expect the news shops to remove the staples from the magazines next.

Same here in the UK. I'm amazed we're given cutlery on the flight to eat the (sort of) food they give you.
Also I noticed that this time in the main shops past security have now started stocking a few tins of pipe tobacco too. In the past 5 years i've been coming here they have never stocked it before. Maybe just maybe pipe smoking is becoming popular again. Here's hoping!

Enjoy it while you can. By the way, nice choice of avatar. Oban is among my favorite single malts.

Nice choice!

I love when this happens. I went to Subway on Friday during my lunch break. Look out the window and what do I see? The Burning Leaf Cigars and Tobacco shoppe, just eight blocks away from the office. While they seem to be focused on cigars, I know they have to have some tobacco. Needless to say, I have a doctor’s appointment today, and I'm getting off work an hour early just to stop by.

I spoke to a pipe smoker that I met the other day and he told me about 4 different B&Ms that I hadn't known were in my city!
