Review from Scott J.

I found this only last week, it's actually changed it's name to Epicure Cigar and Pipe, it's clearly seen from outside but you go down a flight of stairs once you enter.
They have a cracking Humidor with a really big selection of Cuban cigars, it's the first B&M that I have seen in Calgary to have the Partagas Connoisseur line.
Their prices are the usual high end of the scale but they are standard for a B&M.
What gives this place 4 stars is it's fantastic wall shelved with jars of many different pipe tobacco's, there mainly blends but they also have a good selection of brand name tins of pipe tobacco aswell.
As usual it's just the price's that stops this place getting 5*
Also if you like they have a sectioned off part of the store that is for members only, it's a paid membership from what the guy told me with sofas, big screen t.v.'s, bar and free imported Alcohol and of course somewhere to go and enjoy a Habanos or three! -

The best pipe tobacco selection in the city tucked into a bunker beneath the city streets of downtown Calgary.
As Scott mentions here, the prices are steep--but that luxury comes with having a near-monopoly downtown on the tobacco trade. What you lose in your wallet, you gain in selection. A great place to buy 25 grams of this and 25 grams of that to experiment with tobacco types and flavours.
