The Tobacconist & Cigar Merchant

Cigar Shop Information

In 2007, Chris opened his own small pipe and cigar shop at No 15 George Street, Old Town, Hastings. He and his wife Sam live above the shop, where Sam keeps the books and handles the admin. Chris, with his good humour and infectious enthusiasm, is ‘front of house’, having learned his trade from a shelf-full of 40 books on cigars and pipes. He rates one called ‘The World of Cigars’ as the best. The shop has many of the characteristics of classic pipe and cigar shops all over the world – rows of shiny pipes and glass cases full of cigars.
