Ciao Daniele

Hello from Langley BC, Canada.

We are planning to visit Palermo and possibly other areas in Sicily, this Spring. Are there many tabaccheria that sell tinned pipe tobaccos there? It was difficult to find pipe tobacco when we visited Olbia, last year.

Mille Grazie

Mike

Hi Mike,
in many tabaccherie you will find tobacco in pouch like Amphora, Mac Baren, STG. If you search for tinned tobaccos you can visit my preferred: Tabaccheria Riggio, via Dante 82 in Palermo, from 1920 sells pipes and tobaccos, also in tin like Peterson, Robert MC Connell, Rattrays, Solani, Capstan, and many others. It's near Politeama, and the city center.
Unfortunately S.Gawith and others are no more distribuited in Italy.
Feel free to contact me before your trip.
Bye
Daniele

I looked at their website. It looks like it is a must visit shop. It looks like it is close to the harbor which is the area we hoped to stay.

If the plans work out, I will let you know.

Ciao

Mike, you're welcome.
The shop is maybe 5km from the harbour.
Let me know when, and if you need any other suggestions.
Ciao
