If any of you are pipe smokers, you know it's very difficult to find a brick and mortar store that has pipe tobacco...but there are exceptions. Santa Barbara Cigar and Tobacco is one such exception. It's a great shop, and the manager is a wonderful guy. I always block out a little extra time when I visit, just so he and I can talk. He really knows his product, and can tell you all the merits and drawbacks of his products, as well as carry on a delightful conversation.

 

I rarely ever recommend any retail space, but if you're ever In the neighborhood, this is a place that's worth dropping in to visit.
