Jones Cowan Pipe & Tobacco Shop

The owner was extremely helpful on the phone and in person. The address on Unilocal is incorrect. It should read: 2744 Duniven Cir, Amarillo, TX 79 109. Once I found it the owner showed me a couple of recommendations based on what I was looking for. He also showed me the lounge area that’s BYOB. Great experience and looking forward to coming back each time I travel through.

Wonderful service. I absolutely love Danny Jones. As my first time in Texas, I can say I met a true, Texan gentleman. He was very knowledgable and helpful.

Excellent selection! Perfect new location and the owners are so friendly and helpful! It is the ONLY place to buy cigars in town!

Everything here is marked up a minimum of twenty percent from other places. They often have hard to find cigars in stock, because no one is willing to bend over for their mark-​up. They also over humidify their stock and they store massive amount of pipe tobacco in the humidor which leaves cigars (even wrapped in cellophane) reeking of sweet flavored pipe tobacco. They don’t have the greatest selection, but if you want an over humidified $ 25 Padron 1926 that has been fingered more than a 5 dollar whore this is your place.

Apparently, the only tobacconist in the greater Amarillo area. There is a head shop, apparently, but I am quite happy to have found Jones-​Cowan. As part of my critical investigation of my long-​standing smoking habit (and its planned decline), I want to switch over to rolling my own cigarettes from small-​farm fair-​trade tobacco. Moralizing and soapbox business aside, I wanted a local tobacconist.
And I found one! The owner (or an employee who projected such a calming confidence that he came off like the owner) was a very nice, congenial, and relaxed man who let me sample the loose tobacco before buying it, and when I mentioned that I would eventually like to grow and harvest my own, proudly showed me the drying plants he had raised himself.
They have a limited selection of rolling tobacco and papers, but several jars of lovely aromatic pipe tobacco, and a nice selection of pretty pipes for sale.
I realize that Jones-​Cowan probably mostly caters to the old Texas cowboy demographic, as evidenced by the general décor (classic wooden Indian, old photos of Amarillo, poster for the gun show). Even though I am not, much to my dismay, Jack Palance, I still felt welcomed and at home.
