On the shelves

The brands that hold up.

Big Chief sticks with the established names. Boutique cigars can start strong and fade fast, so the shelves stay stocked with the cigars people come back for.

That means Padrón, including the 1964 Anniversary Series and the 1926 Serie. Cohiba. Alec Bradley. Plasencia, Perdomo, and Deadwood. Undercrown and Acid from Drew Estate. E.P. Carrillo, Diamond Crown, and plenty more.

Also here

  • Bulk pipe tobacco.
  • Pipe cleaners and accessories.
  • Staff who know the humidor.
  • No online sales. Come see it in person.

New to cigars

Start mild. Work up from there.

Tell the counter it’s your first time. They’ll put something mild in your hand, and the next time you come in wanting something different, they’ll know where to take you.

Already have a favorite? Ask for it by name, or ask what’s worth trying next.

Pipe tobacco

Bulk blends behind the glass.

Lane Limited and Peter Stokkebye blends sit in jars in the lit case, from LL-7 and TK-6 to BCA and PS 35 Champagne. Ask for one you know, or one you don’t.

Ask John

The recommendation is handwritten.

There is a sign on the shelf that says John’s Top Pick, with an arrow pointing at it. No shelf talker from a distributor, no sticker off the box.

If you want to know why that one, ask him. Same goes for anything else on the shelves.
