Do not shop here. I walked in today and asked if they had pipe tobacco. He said yes, and showed me three packets of 50g tobacco. I said I had never heard of these brands and he said that they were very popular. I purchased one-you can guess the cost-and went to my hairdresser appointment around the corner and opened the tobacco only to find that it was cigarette tobacco. I took it back immediately for an exchange for pipe tobacco and was told that they do not stock pipe tobacco. I do not smoke cigarettes. Now, I understand that the vendor had English as a second language and I was very careful with my annunciation throughout, and was precise and polite. I understand that when the tobacco is opened that is a problem, but it was a lot of money and we all get the consequences of miscommunication, and these are as follows. I've lost a lot of money with this transaction, and I should have known better than to part with money to an unfamiliar vendor and will know better next time. In fairness too the vendor must also take on responsibility for the miscommunication and thus I would not recommend that you shop here under any circumstances as a visitor to the area.
