I have been wanting to post this for a while, even before this shutdown situation. I believe that it is essential to support our local B&Ms if at all possible. This doesn’t mean we should never buy online, but we should be spending at least some of our money at local tobacconists, especially now.
I figured we could start a thread outlining our local B&Ms and pouring out some support for them during this hard time. Maybe the mods can make a sticky that they add to. I’ll start with some Southern California recommendations:
Tobacco Barn OC: Still taking orders and available for storefront pickup. Unsure of delivery. C&D, Pease, Escudo and other commonly available blends.
Old Town Havana: Still taking orders and available for storefront pickup. Owned by Tobacco Barn OC.
Racine and Laramie (San Diego): Taking orders and shipping. Esoterica sometimes available.
The Cigar Box (Idyllwild): Available for storefront pickup.
Tobacco Trader LA: Still taking orders and available for storefront pickup. Esoterica and Samuel Gawith sometimes available.
