When I asked a local B&M employee about pipe tobacco in the Tampa Bay area, he just responded, "You've got to go to Edward's for that." So I drove over to the Tampa side of the bay to check out this spot. The truth of the matter is that most of the pipes and pipe tobacco are actually made/blended by Edward's, and they don't have much of a selection if you are looking for Dunhill, Savenelli, MacBarren, etc. The thing that really struck me about this shop was the humidor. It is probably the best humidor I've seen anywhere in the Tampa area, and their prices are reasonable for a B&M. There's a small bar where you can sit and have a cup of joe or a beer (if I recall correctly, they did serve some alcohol, but I can't remember for sure). This is a nice spot to have a cigar and a cup of coffee, and has been a Tampa tradition since 1960.
