About Us

In 2007, Chris opens 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.

Many of you would have visited the shop on your days out or on your holidays, being in the glorious seaside town of Hastings, on the East Sussex coast.

We would also like to introduce you to Dan. Dan's been in the background of the shop for many years and has a wealth of experience in retail, he lives and grown up locally in the area. We've now let him loose in the Tobacconist and already his making a fantastic contribution and already becoming a favourite by our locals.   (Ssssh, don't tell Chris) 

Moving into modern times (don’t worry, we are not changing anything in the shop) you can now place your orders in the comfort of your own home! We have now made our fantastic range of products, Pipes, Cigars and all smoking accessories available for you to purchase online and be delivered to your door. 

If your in the area, please come and say hello.

Thank you kindly for finding us,

Chris and Sam
