Pipe Tobacco in LAX?

[Ahi Ka]

Anyone passed through LAX recently and can confirm whether there is any pipe tobacco for sale there?

Don’t really care if it’s duty free or not.

 

[Servant King]

Dave in LAX. Literally!

How would we know if we have passed through LAX? Is it a place, state of mind, or a condition?

I was there a couple of times last year. I would not have thought of looking for pipe tobacco there. In any event, LAX duty-free lists only cigarettes and cigars: https://www.dfs.com/en/los-angeles/eshop/product-listing/category/tobacco/153. The tobacco shops in the vicinity might have the stuff Briar Lee favors.

I haven't notgiced any tobacco for sale at Los Angeles International Airport in years, and then it was cigarettes only. They might still sell cigarettes, but they're of no interest to me. How long will you be in LA? There's a very good tobacconist on the West Side, about 30 minutes from LAX, Tobacco Traders.

I’m in LA for a day. Just hedging my bets and would happy with anything, even RYO.

I have found it difficult to find anything worth buying in Baja California, and since we extended our trip I have ended up smoking what I had put aside for my duty free allowance when we returned home. Not a bad problem to have.

We haven’t chosen a hotel yet, so maybe I will look for one close to said tobacconist 🥹

It’s all 3, simultaneously

You know, in America, we don't refer to airports by that small code on the tickets.

Go on, change the title then.

Thanks. I’ve never need to a B&M before so I might as well take the chance

Actually, some of us do.

 

[atwaterville]

Actually, some of us do.

We Angelinos definitely refer Los Angeles International Airport as LAX.

 

[Sigmund]

Yep…Portland is Pdx
Baltimore wash…BWI

Its done a lot
Im sure there are others but those are ones I remember

 

[Ahi Ka]

Oh man, here I was thinking I had more tobacconist recommendations and it’s just about the airport codes.

 

[FLDRD]

Sometimes city names easily apply, but some of the regional airports that are more "in between" cities, I'll go with the letters.

Oops, derailed.

There's a very good tobacconist on the West Side, about 30 minutes from LAX, Tobacco Traders.

So, given LA traffic, it's about 400 yds away?

 

[sablebrush52]

So what unfortunate city’s airport is SHT?

 

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

It feels more natural to refer to some by the codes... Others not so much.
