I agree with toygriffin's review whole heartedly. Not to mention, the overly anxious high spirited (speed? too much coffee?) ""dollar signs in her eyes"" woman whom I always feel patronized and ""RUSHED"" with all the ""Giddy"" ""as a matter of fact"" ""I am always right"" attitude. Should you not agree with her, get ready for her ""overly defensive"" argument, it will come!
Like a mans barber shop, or my local bartender, do I want a woman selling me my tobacco? NO! Not really! I've had much better conversations with the Guys who used to work there...BY FAR!
Even worse! The ""PIPE"" tobacco prices on ""certain"" brands seem to jump considerably higher the next time I come in the shop should I buy it in bulk. Are they upping the price on tobacco which becomes more popular? Sometimes as much as double!!! Which then forces me to search out the cheaper brands (unsifted hard stems or twigs) and give up my normal brand. When asked why such a small amount (approx 3 pipe fills) could weigh out at $4.25 an ounce, I was told it was wetter than usual. I just told my wife today, ""I'm going to check on other tobacco stores, this one I feel is ripping off their customers by wetting down their tobacco."" Honest review...I've also been going to this store since Hugh owned it and was located at the former Beaverton Mall, over 21 yrs.
