A B&M making a reopening
Seems like there is some good news coming out of Baton Rouge, LA for pipe smokers. The best B&M there was Bayou Tobacco and it closed down in June 2018. It was owned and run by a husband and wife but he died in 2016 and she decided to close it down and move to Mississippi.
Yesterday, a notification popped up on Facebook telling me that they had changed their phone number. I sent them a message and asked if they were re-opening. The reply was:
"Not yet, should have new store open in the next few weeks."
I used to make a trip up there at least once a month when our oldest son was living in Baton Rouge. I always liked it because they carried a different variety of tinned tobacco than the B&M I go to in the New Orleans area. More importantly, there always seemed to be three or four pipe smokers sitting in there smoking when I stopped in. Glad to see the shop re-opening.

We are outliers, as well as rare birds. Every B&M strengthens pipe smoking. And that's a good thing!
