Long story short: come here, give these people your money and enjoy some fine tobacco products in a friendly atmosphere. I travel a lot, and I try to stop at shops that look like they’ll have pipe stuff, because I smoke pipes, and even if they don’t have pipe stuff I’ll still enjoy a cigar. If you like pipes, they have some very pretty briar Savinelli, Molina, Ascorti, , and Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation pipes in a variety of colors and finishes, and more are coming per my conversation with the proprietor, whose name I regrettably did not get during my time there. They also carry meerschaum pipes, which is cool (take it from me, it really is cool). The cigar selection was excellent (I went with a Padron 1926 #35), and while there were several Peter Stokkebye bulk pipe tobacco selections on offer, I decided to grab a couple ounces of the shop’s house blend “Second Breakfast” which was a playful and mild natural English blend with sweet and creamy bright and orange Virginias that were very forward; it was a winner, and if any of you out there in Googleland are missing MacBaren’s Plumcake, this tobacco is in the same neighborhood and they probably go to tobacco church together. I stopped in for about three hours and smoked the cigar and two bowls of Second Breakfast in a Peterson rusticated 103 that I had with me while doing some paperwork. Their vending machine has snacks and drinks; their bathroom is clean; the ventilation is unobtrusive to the smoking experience yet effective; they didn’t pay me one cent or ask me to write this review. I just had that good of a time here. If you, like I was, are on the road and looking for a place to relax and smoke, then stop here. I was a little disappointed by the lack of tinned tobacco, but I have come to accept that it’s simply not feasible for a lot of shops. Bulk trade just makes more sense for many reasons, and I’m happy that this shop appears to be getting its blending leaf from Peter Stokkebye - luxury navy flake, luxury twist flake, and bullseye flake are all here in addition to the house blends (here’s a tip, Bullseye ages very, very well and can scratch the Escudo Navy De Luxe itch quite handily). Also, there is an orange tree out front, which is in and of itself a reason to visit, as I, a simpleton, had never before seen an orange tree.

I've really only just started coming here (as it's really the only true tobacco/cigar/pipe shop in San Jose really) and I feel obligated to give them a 5/5 review to help out. There's a place to park my bicycle out front and the selection is good. Good enough for me!

Great cigar lounge, with super cool clientele. Excellent selection of sticks. Helpful staff. Got my torch working again.

New building to me since the last time I was there, but still the same great stock and outstanding service. New smoking patio in the front of the shop.

I've been going there for years. Great selection reasonable prices. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Come in buy a couple of cigars and enjoy a great smoke and a friendly conversation with an eclectic group of clientele.
