very nice! Davidoff pipes are very well crafted, they are quality briarwood, but i find them overpriced for what they are, their "flake medallions" and "Royalty" are top quality blend, really outstanding tobacco !! I get them from here in Dubai Airport Duty free for 8$ each. (3$ for Erinmore tin)

[dubinthedam]

wow, $3 for erinmore.! I agree with davidoff pipes, way over priced, they're made by Chacom in France which you can buy at about 1/4 of the price. Just buy a top of the line Chacom for $120 and your getting a Davidoff pipe with even more style and just as good quality.

Hi Dub

Great vid, was in the Dam at New Years and must have walked around blind because I didn't see any of the places mentioned. I am fairly new to Pipe smoking and have been concentrating on Aromatics. I was wanting to move onto English blends and I was wondering what you would recommend for starters?

Thanks for the great Vids and Advice

[dubinthedam]

hi eel, I always recommend Solani's Luxury English Mixture also known as their gold blend, soft and sweet it's a classic.

It's got a long way to go to match the London shop in Jermyn Street.. but very nice.. But a great video..

[dubinthedam]

@Milverton68, Few places can match London when you've got plenty of money to spend....I hear you can't smoke a pipe in their Davidoff's shop in New York....bummer

I hope to visit this shop next year when I visit Amsterdam. Absolutely incredible video. You are absolutely correct that the Zino Platinum Rockets are amazing, as well as the stretch, and the Chubby Especial Special Wrapper!

Thanks very much for the video. It makes me jealous of the choices you have over there. Where I live in the UK if I want something from the norm, IE St Bruno, Gold Block and such I have to rely on the internet.

Great video! I'm off to have a look at the rest of your tobacconist tour vids. I'm not a fan of Cohiba either, over priced, and of the various shapes I've smoked, I find them rather bland. Maybe just not to my taste.

So many humidors have boxes stacked everywhere, randomly. Love the time they took organizing the humidor, great cigars deserve to be well presented.

Good info and tips on Chacom pipes, I'll be sure to look for some here.
