Puff Porn

Here's a relic of the 19th century on Government Street. I found it interesting that their website also contains some advertising copy that is as dated as their store.
Real men smoke pipes & cigars. And whatever walk of life you come from, smoking is more than just lighting up & toking. It’s an experience. A bold statement of character & style.
You can read more on the Old Morris website (if you can get past the required age verification - seriously, you have to be 19 years of age or older to read this stuff): http://www.oldmorris.com/

One of my fave stops every time I visited. My ex always wanted a Cuban cigar. Man they are pricey! I was always lucky customs didn't find it.

One rarely sees the word tobacconist.

I absolutely love this photo. I walk by this tobacconist all the time, so it's a very familiar place to me - but the way you framed the shot (and waited for the right moment to capture the passersby) makes the shop window look wholly new and interesting. Just wonderful.
