Great shop for all things tobacco and accessories. They have been in business forever and have decent prices for a brick and mortar shop. The value they bring is really in the knowledge and experience built up over the years. Please note they moved to a new location down the street.

What a great experience.I’m new(ish) to pipes, with only having purchased a cheap pipe from a local smoke shop about two years ago. I was able to find a great replacement pipe of a much nicer quality and craftsmanship than my last. AJ was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable!I not only did I leave with a fantastic new pipe, but I walked out with a much deeper understanding of how to use it.They have a great selection of products that would have been overwhelming without the help of their staff guiding me though the store.I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family!

I really had no idea how people get ideas how to keep a good tobacco crafting for themselves. Everything also had been fully stocked.

New to pipe smoking, and definitely went to the right place! The friendly staff did a great job of explaining everything from pipe types to maintenance, and did a demo on how to properly pack a pipe. They set me up with some tobacco and a nice box on the house, and made sure I had the tools for use and maintenance. Will be back

I spend a lot of $ here, they have a very great selection of rare sticks. The Lady and older gentleman are really nice. The younger guy that wears the baseball cap has a smart allic attitude, and a slick mouth I had to refrain from stooping to his level. They will lose valuable customers due to this little fellow

Very nice folks. Staff explained pipes available, showed me their supply of tobacco, including house blends, and they showed me how to properly pack a pipe with loose tobacco. Kind! Looking forward to returning.

Excellent service. If you’re a seasoned, or new pipe smoker, definitely check this place out.I bought some Old Briar, and some French Roast pipe tobaccos and I’m definitely going back for more soon.

Best selection of cigars in the area. Very knowledgeable cigar tenders. Although they do like to chat

Review №27

This place is one of the last bastions of good tobacco and tobacco accessories. The service has been wonderful and the price is decent given how much California taxes tobacco to hell.Ive seen a couple reviewers say you cant bring in your own ceegars, thats nonsense. And Ive seen another say the service was bad, again, nonsense. Id say if you come in with an holier than thou attitude expect to be treated as such. From someone whos worked in retail service, remember, folks behind the register deal with asshats 9/10 times.Respect goes a long way people. And this is to the customers not the employees

Review №32

My usual shop to purchase quality cigars, pipes, tobacco for pipes and accesories. Donna, the owner is one of the few female tobacconists which is very cool. Mission Pipe has occasional cigar tastings with a vendor which give an insightful presentation on thier cigars. There is a smoking lounge and outdoor seating.

I have been coming to mission pipe for 6 years. The staff are always willing to assist and are very friendly. If selection is what you are after they have an extensive selection and the best parking for a cigar shop in the area.

The best pipe tobacco local mix Ive found in the world, store personnel are extremely friendly and helpful, the shop is so cozy that invites you to hang out and talk about cigars, pipes, tobacco or motorcycles. My favourite spot after work to just visit and try a new mix.
