This Palo Alto institution has been describe as This is the kind of place your grandfather would recognize instantly. It has the charm of an old fashioned smoke shop combined with the usefulness of a newspaper/convenience store in the downtown area. Absolutely immense selection of magazines and classic smokes, coffee, and ice cream as well. A Palo Alto classic.

Nice smoke shop in the heart of downtown Palo Alto. Stopped in for a cigar. Guy who was working there suggested one for me.

I like coming to the smoke shop to pick up a newspaper but the papers I'm searching for are not always available. The selection of newspapers is okay but the magazine selection is pretty extensive.

Great little shop! This is one of the only old world smoke shops left in the bay area. The owners are honest and friendly. I've been here a few times while in Palo Alto and always left happy. Pricing is a little high but I think that has more to do with the area.
