  This store…I don’t even know where to begin. I’ll start with the look. It looks exactly like a tobacco store should. Shelves lined with products for every desired tobacco smoking need; cigarettes, roll your own, pipes, they have it all. Vintage Cigar Aficionado magazine covers hung framed around the cozy store. It had other advertisements from the glory days of smoking. I didn’t feel like I was walking into a dingy, cheap bargain tobacco store, nor was it like one of these new start up convenience store types. You take your time. You find exactly what you want without having to settle for something inferior. You come for the tobacco. You come back over and over because of the experience. Their selection of loose pipe tobacco was, to say the least, impressive. I have been in many tobacco stores and this one surpasses them all. Their selection of pipes surpassed any tobacco store I’ve ever patronized. Pipe stands, pipe tools, pipe lighters, everything for the discerning pipe smoker’s need. I can’t speak for the cigars because I didn’t have time to browse the humidor or really peruse the accessories, but more than a few people came through the door and were treated like old friends coming by to grab a smoke from the humidor. I imagine if one could smoke in there, the place would be full of men and women enjoying conversations and good tobacco. The store clerk, Ethan, was by far the most knowledgeable tobacconist I have ever encountered. He was pleasant and down to earth, but the man was a walking encyclopedia of information. I thought I knew stuff. I know nothing compared to him. And if all that wasn’t enough, they have a small section of shaving gear. I’m talking quality, Merkur and other well made safety razors, beautiful straight edge razors, various shave brushes, beard and mustache combs, and many varieties of toiletries including Col. Ichabod Conk’s shaving soaps. This store brought my mind back to the glory days of men. When a man would appreciate quality over quantity. When a man would treat every day things like smoking and shaving like a ritual instead of a chore, and honor the techniques passed down from their fathers. Whenever I get to come back to Spokane, I will be making a trip back. If I had buckets of money to spend, this store would be one of my main go to places to spend it.

  Needed a cigar for the the weekend? You can have a nice choice here or... pick up a little pipe tobacco from some well stocked rows of choices. If you like the smell of a tobacco shop. I do...this one has that really deep aroma. I picked up an air tight tin [1 oz.] As a gift, for a pipe smoking friend. He took it on a fishing trip and really enjoyed it. Nice customer service. You get 10 minutes free in the flour mill parking lot if there''s no street parking with the meters. Thats what the nice lot parking lot attendant said to me.. I didn''t know that. Yes it takes at least 15 minutes to smell all the pipe tobaccos. Very interesting! I called just make sure they were open on one of those weird holiday weekends. A Real person answered.
