In the post-tobacco industry settlement & Ohio Smoking ban world, dedicated Tobacconist shops are dwindling throwbacks to an era that is passing. Though there are fewer and fewer quality shops across the nation, Cincinnati is very fortunate to have two very fine shops within its borders. The Pipe Club of OTR heartily endorses both Straus Tobacconist & Carrousel Keyer Tobacco Shoppe as fine establishments with excellent selections, good prices & fine locations to spend an afternoon having a smoke and a chat.
Straus Tobacconist is the last cigar & tobacco store remaining in the city core making it the last business one can still legally smoke in. Straus has a tremendous selection of cigars in their climate controlled humidor space. They also have a robust selection of reasonably priced pipes & bulk tobaccos. The employees are knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their product. Straus is THE downtown destination for cigar & pipe aficionados.
Carrousel is a small, but densely packed shop for pipe & cigar enthusiasts in the Roselawn neighborhood. They stock a very robust selection of new and estate pipes at very good prices. They also have a large selection of bulk tobacco varieties for sale. Owner-operators are always on site with friendly advice. Carrousel is on the must-visit list for any Cincinnati tobacco enthusiast.
