These posts corroborate the notion that availability is regional and local. Tribal shops have their own customer base. In more rural areas, it depends on the local demand, and the stock can get pretty dry and dusty. I was intrigued that in the boroughs in New York City, a neon sign proclaiming tobacco means cigarettes and vape, and pipe tobacco is minimal or nonexistent, though there might be a small stock of overpriced cigars. I think JR still operates humidors, but I haven't been to one in years. Mostly, thin pickings.
