Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Clarification, everything I say about Buenos Aires, unless specified, are places that I know personally.

The second tobacco shop in Buenos Aires is Ko"E"yu. Guarani word that means not only dawn, but the exact moment when darkness gives way to light and an imperceptible line of light is described on the horizon.
Name that almost nobody knows since everyone knows it as "The tobacco shop of the Güemes Gallery".
The Güemes Gallery is a covered passage in the financial center very much in the style of the London Arcades. It is a must-see tourist spot in the city.
The store is in a kiosk format in the center of the passage, they serve you through a window while you are standing in the arcade.
Staffed by women, another nickname in the pipe community is "The Girls' Tobacco Shop." "Girls" who are quickly approaching retirement, but girls at last.
We find all the pipe tobaccos that are distributed in the country, Cuban cigars, cigars from the other Caribbean countries, European cigars. Low, medium and high grade pipes, but not high end pipes.
All accessories for pipe, cigar and rolling tobacco.
Since it's a glass box, you can walk around and look at everything they have for sale. Turning around you will see the cigar boxes, the tobacco cans, the accessories and in the window that faces East all the pipes, which can be about 100 or more.
You can let your wife visit the other stores in the gallery while you dedicate yourself to your hobby, even more so you can have a coffee in the corridor in front of the pipe window.Screenshot_20220128-222457.jpgScreenshot_20220128-223152.pngScreenshot_20220128-223239.png
