Find A Tobacco Shop That Offers More

By Maryanne Goff


A growing number of smokers are looking for a healthier smoke or a new experience. Find a tobacco shop that offers more. Pipe and cigarette smokers mix blends that fit their preference. Cigar smokers can enjoy different flavors and strengths by just visiting a location that specializes in cigars.

One trend that is growing among cigarette smokers is the act of rolling your own (RYO). Part of its rise in popularity among the masses is they can choose to smoke organic products and not one that has been treated chemically. By purchasing loose leaf, they are also able to see there are no additional fillers in the mix.

In addition, RYO popularity is due to the low cost associated with it compared to purchasing manufactured cigarettes. Smokers are able to concoct their own blend of leaves including adding flavors they prefer. There are no artificial chemicals or fillers added. Another larger factor to smoking RYO is the hand rolled smokes are much stronger, thus the person smokes less.

If a person finds rolling their own too difficult, there are also tubes they can fill with loose leaf. The tubes are made of cigarette paper and usually sold in bulk. They come with or without filters and in a variety of flavors. The options for RYO smoking are vast.

Pipe smokers will also frequent establishments where they can purchase traditional prepackaged blends or a special blend they can design for themselves. In addition, many business owners are master blenders and are happy to design a blend specifically for a person. They often offer unique pipes including antiques. They will also have cleaners, special lighters, ash trays, tins, boxes, and numerous other items specifically designed for this style of smoking.

Cigar smoking is another pastime that is experiencing a revival. Due to the social nature of cigar smoking, many cities have at least one nightclub, bar, or restaurant where cigars have been added to the menu. There is often an expert on staff that will guide a new smoker to a stick that will suit their taste.

Part of the enjoyment of cigar smoking is the social aspect. For this reason, bars, nightclubs, and restaurants have opened where cigars are available in addition to food and beverages. The more traditional lounge will offer free coffee have a flat screen for enjoying sports or other programs. The chairs will be comfortable, decor muted and tasteful, and often a chess set or billiards table will be surrounded by players enjoying their smokes and each others company. If the area you live in does not allow smoking on business property, you will have to enjoy your smoke with friends or alone at home.

Running out to the store to buy a pack of cigarettes, picking up a tin of pipe tobacco, or a cigar can be more of an education and social experience now than before because so much more is available at a tobacco shop. Loose leaf for mixing, flavored papers and filters, and a wide range of cigars can be found. When looking for a new experience check the internet or ask fellow smokers for recommendations.
