The LJ Peretti store is 2 blocks from my office, so I’m in there pretty often. They always have more selection in the store than on the web site, make excellent house blends (#8, 500, Tashkent, Omega and Thanksgiving are my favorites) and reliability have a few things that are sold out everywhere else. Great pipe selection at a good range of price points, and a decent cigar selselection too. Go there if you find yourself in Boston.

I've only tried Tashkent - it sounds like something I'd love and I'd heard/read so many great things about it.... but was sadly underwhelmed. I'll have to get back to it and give it another chance, but I'm a McClelland Orientals fanboy and it's a tough thing to live up to.

I go to Boston every year or two for work, and, well, it uhh takes some getting used to.
LJP is a hell of an impressive store, and once you get used to the Bostoners, you might even like it!

Hi
I really enjoyed visiting L.J. Peretti as well. Every time I had a chance to go to Boston, I went there. It is a time capsule harkening back to a period when the term tobacconist actually meant something. I truly hope she does not disappear.
PS Some folks at LJ Peretti are reportedly a little grumpy. Introducing myself as a pipe smoker, I found the staff to be knowledgeable and nice. They even asked me if I was interested in a custom blend, starting with one of their std blends as a base. Sad to say,this wonderful offer would have required more time then I could afford during my visits to Boston. Maybe someday I will return for my custom blend, though not living in Massachusetts anymore limits such travels.

Even when placing a phone order. |

Hi
I cannot deny some folks have had poor experiences with a few of LJ Peretti's tobacconists. What I can state is I was always treated well during my visits. I also have pretty thick skin (not that I needed it visiting Peretti). For me if the tobacco is worth it, I come back.
