I visited this shop while visiting family in AZ over Christmas and New Years. While it did take a while to find the person running the shop when he did arrive I found him to be very helpful. As a novice pipe smoker I was looking for some guidance on my purchase and the owner was very well versed in pipe tobacco and recommended a blend called four peaks. If I had known how much I was going to enjoy it I would have purchased much more than the couple of ounces that I bought. My only regret is that I live so far away and haven't been able to find a local blend that I enjoy as much as I do this one. This is a must have on my next visit to the Valley.
