I drove about 45 miles to Stag Tobacconist in Scottsdale today. I was expecting to see maybe 20 pipes at best, but instead I saw close to 200. More than 100 for sure. Everything from $20 basket pipes to $600 for some artisans, and at least 50 estate pipes. Plenty of Petersons, Nordings and Castellos. And at least a few of all the other popular brands. A really good selection of tobacco. They even have a couple bricks of Cornell and Diehl small batch of Folklore. I picked up a tin of Jacknife Plug, and two ounces of one of their house blends. A mild aromatic which has hints of plum and maple. Really good. And I picked up a Lorenzo for $40. The gentleman working welcomed me behind the counter and told me to get a better look at everything. I have nothing but good things to say about this place.
