We’re from San Antonio, and my family and I were in Dallas for my son’s six-month doctor visit. My wife suggested Burger House for lunch, and it was fabulous—nothing negative to say at all. If you’re in the area and want a true down-home-style burger and fries, that’s definitely the place. When we parked, I noticed a small tobacco shop a couple of storefronts down called Tobacco Gallery. As soon as I walked in, I was immediately greeted by a true aficionado who was more than willing to help with anything I needed. Once I entered the humidor, I was amazed by the selection available in such a small shop. They had a vast assortment of cigars, including hard-to-find options and even a few unicorns. There was truly something for every cigar smoker. I have to give this shop a 15 out of 10 for service, selection, and overall experience. Tobacco Gallery, located at 6929 Hillcrest Ave, Dallas, TX 75205, will absolutely be my go-to shop whenever I’m visiting Dallas.

They have one of the larger pipe inventories in town so I decided to buy two nording pipes from them last week. Upon trying to clean them for the first time the shank split on one of the pipes. I took the 1 week old, once smoked, broken pipe back to Tobacco Gallery and the young man called the owner and sent him pictures of my broken pipe. The owner refused to take the broken pipe for credit towards another or issue a return. Simply put if you choose to buy something here know that the owner will not stand behind the product he sells and if there is a problem you will be on your own. Buyer beware of this place and its owner. I am currently discussing the issue and appalling service I received at Tobacco Gallery with the folks at Nording. Hopefully they stand behind their product better than the vendors they allow to represent them. Edit: I contacted Nording and sent them pictures. They had their distributer send me a new pipe without asking a single question.

There are closer tobacco stores to me, but I’ll drive a few extra miles for tobacco gallery. The storefront itself is nice warm and inviting. But the specialist tobacconist on site, Roman, is why Tobacco Gallery is my favorite. Dude is super knowledgeable about every cigar and pipe tobacco that they carry: from the flavor profile, to the brand’s history, and the different growing methods. Cigars can be kind of intimidating, but he doesn’t make you feel like an amateur for asking questions. They don’t have a cigar you want in stock? Roman will direct you to a similar one. Looking for a cheap, but acceptable cigar to smoke with friends over a card game? Or something complex for a special occasion? You get the idea. I took my father-in-law today and we both walked out with some great cigars that we shared over dinner tonight. Other than that the store has a lot of cool accoutrements, a nice bulk pipe tobacco section, and a good house roll.

I've now been here multiple times. Both guys I've dealt with were very knowledgeable, without making me feel bad for being a novice tobacco enthusiast. Atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. And they carry a wide array of products.

They had my favorite cigars in stock! Great place to visit with a wide variety of cigars. Thank you very much. I will be back!!
