Tee Pee Trading Post - A Desert Oasis for Cigar Lovers!

I stumbled upon the Tee Pee Trading Post while road-tripping through Arizona, and wow, what a hidden gem in the desert! This place is a must-stop for anyone into cigars or just looking for unique souvenirs. Their walk-in humidor is impressive – a fantastic selection of cigars that caters to all tastes and budgets. The staff? Absolute pros – super knowledgeable and incredibly helpful without being pushy. They guided me to two excellent cigars that were reasonably priced, matching what I'd find on those online discount sites.

I was a bit concerned about keeping my cigars fresh for the long drive home, but they blew me away by tossing in a humidity pack for free! They even asked if I preferred 68% or 72% humidity (I went with 72%, which is spot on for most cigars). That kind of thoughtful service is rare and made my day.

Beyond cigars, they've got tons of souvenirs for everyone – from quirky Arizona-themed gifts to more. The cigar accessories caught my eye; yeah, they're on the pricier side, but you can tell they're high-quality stuff – definitely a "you get what you pay for" situation. One suggestion for the owners: It'd be awesome if you stocked some budget-friendly temporary kits for travelers, like a basic set with a cheap cutter, torch, and travel tube for around $15-20. That way, folks who forgot their gear at home could still enjoy a smoke on the go.

Overall, 5 stars all the way – I'll be back next time I'm in AZ!...

You've been to several other "trading posts" along the old "Route 66" or on the reservations in NM or AZ, and you figure that this is more of the same lame costume jewelry and made in China "Indian blankets" set out on ancient card tables. Nope! This place is nice, well merchandised, air-conditioned, with lots of interesting souvenirs, knives, native American goods, toys, candies, herbal medicine, moccasins, etc. Highly recommended that you stop here on you're way into or out of the beautiful...

Speeding down the highway, kids had to use a restroom, I thought the sign said "The Pee Post"! 🤣 So glad we stopped! Misleading from the outside, this place was very organized and clean inside. They had an amazing selection of artsy/crafty native american stuff, the usual roadside chintz, and plenty of uniqueness to keep you doing laps. The walk in humidor and smoke shop was also a surprise... a great collection of stogeys, tobacco, glassware, and more. They also had a...
