Happy Jack Pipe & Tobacco Shop

Great little tobacco shop, huge selection for a small shop and the staff has a good knowledge of the products. They directed me to a couple of new cigars that turned out to be very good. I’ll return when in Laconia again, recommend.

Don’t be driven away by the small size of this place, it has almost every cigar, pipe, and tobacco brand you could think of. From Macanudos to Fuente Opus X this store has it. On top of this an educated and knowledgable staff is always more than willing to help you find what you need ensuring you leave a happy customer! If you’re in the Lakes Region make sure to stop in!

I love a good pipe. It’s relaxing, the tastes are endless and the value outshines a cigar any day. It’s great to see that in an endless bombardment of anti smoking advertisements a shop like this can survive. Shops like this need to stay in business, especially great tobacco emporiums like this one.
Lets start with the outside… who greets you? A cigar store Indian. PC in today’s world… who knows (or cares). When people couldn’t read they needed to know which stores sold specific items. Since Indians introduced us to tobacco, they made a great symbol.
Inside. Wow, right up on the left was a nice selection of corn cob pipes. These inexpensive ($ 10) beauties are made in Missouri and provide a good smoke. Best of all, they require no break in period. Above the cobs were some lower priced briar pipes made in italy. Not too many stores begin with pipes which is something I found unusual.
Walking further was a wall humidor with their cigars. I cannot comment on the prices, but the stock seemed ample.
On the right was a wall of pipe tobacco. Being from Manchester, NH, I have not seen this much pipe tobacco in a store. Wow! Not only do they sell loose by the ounce, they have different styles, tastes and tins. The gentleman behind the counter was a good help. When asked he knew right away which blends were the most popular. His knowledge of the product was extended.
I purchased a 50 gram tin of Frog Morton on the Town ½ by McClellan ($ 8.25). I couldn’t wait to taste this beauty. Thank you for the recommendation, the flavor was outstanding! I also walked out with 2 separate 1oz bags of their house blends which I have yet to try.
In summary, please keep places like this going. If you love a cigar or a bowl of doof, this is the place to go.
