So I came to this store for their Swedish Snus selection (which was horrible to be perfectly honest). To be fair, they did have brands other than the usual General you could find at gas stations in the area, but it was certainly lacking - they had Thunder lös, and the snus made by Tilce/Northerner.

When I asked the clerk about Swedish Snus, she almost acted disgusted. They figured I wouldn't be buying any $40 cigars so I wasn't worth their time. I finally decided to leave when they wouldn't accept my manufacturers coupons for General.

This store certainly has it's charm, but I feel like you're only going to get great service from the staff when you're a big-spender. If you're looking for Swedish Snus, I recommend sticking with General from a Cumberland Farms over Leavitt & Peirce; VERY...

A truly unique store / landmark that has the only excellent tobacco in Boston, plus a million other "kingsmanesque" gadgets, blades, shave kits, old school prints, and chess sets — all tying into the history of the place.

They have antique prints which is neat. Service is always spectacular — Norris has gone above and beyond many times since I started shopping here, about 13 years ago. Shaun is also amazing. Easy convo and kind service every time. Really, the entire staff is great.

Definitely worth a visit, or many. If cigarettes are a thing for you, I'd say stop buying from faceless corpos and swing by L&P for some proper material (they do a shag cut of an American blend!)

You also can rent the loft space cheap to play chess....
