He was there when I used to pop in but apart from a couple of their briars I only went in for their #99 Royal Tudor Full Latakia Blend.
I do remember their fantastic collection of carved meerschaum pipes on display and not for sale - not that I was in the market for such things preferring plain uncarved meerschaums to fancy.

I don't know the situation in The States regarding traditional tobacconists but the last time I checked in the UK nearly all the big names from Carnaby Street (Inderwick's) to the Burlington Arcade (Sullivan Powell and H. Simmons), from Burlington Gardens (J. J. Fox) down Old Bond Street (B&H) to Piccadilly (Bewlay's), from Jermyn Street (Charatan and Astleys) to The Haymarket (Fribourg & Treyer) to Charing Cross Road (G. Smith & Sons) all the shops I used to visit on Saturday have disappeared.
The pipe tobacco situation here in the UK is not great with even recently introduced blends discontinued after only a few years . . . with so many interesting blends talked about on this forum it makes me a teeny bit sad that I'll never get the chance to try any of them.

I made it to J.J. Fox, F&T, and old Dunhill's while I stayed at Victory, my military club in the 90s - where I still have my membership today. In their sitting room in the 90s I could smoke my Havana cigars and pipe. Those days are gone. We who remember the old days know what has been lost.
