So I just moved to Stuttgart and the first think I had to do with my free time is to find a decent pipe store. I had three on my list, but the first two were nothing more that routine tobacconists that carried basket pipes. The third, however, was a different story.
Durninger's on Lange Strasse 9, was truly a pipe store. Small, but still a nice store. They carried all of the main brands of European pipe tobacco and a decent selection of pipes. They have Mac Baren, Dunhill, Rattray, Orlik, and some very nice house blends to choose from. Expect to pay a higher price that in the US, which should be expected. A 50g pouch of Orlik Golden Slice cost me 10.50 euro.
They carried some very nice Dunhills, some of which were at a pretty reasonable price as far as Dunhills go. The price ranges from 300 euro to 900 euro (that pipe was a limited edition of 300 pipes).They also sport a good sized humidor loaded with some great Cuban cigars. There is a two to three seat smoking area in the store itself. I didn't get the guy's name that assisted me, but he was extremely helpful while puffing away on his pipe.
Long story short; if you are in Stuttgart, go to Durninger. You won't be disappointed. Next time I go there I will get the guy's name and take some photos to share.
