This store is absolutely amazing if youre looking for tobacco products (specifically cigars, and pipe tobacco). They have a fantastic selection of new pipes in glass displays, and several estate pipes in draws behind the counters. There is also other items such as leather high end luggage, walking canes, lighters, etc. They are open Monday-Saturday from 10am-9pm, which fits anyones schedule nicely. The staff is friendly, and very helpful. Definitely go into this store if youre in the Bloomington, IN!

Their tobacco pipe selection is amazing. Their staff knowledge on pipes (one bearded man in particular) as well as their common locals who frequent the shop are beyond professional level knowledge on tobacco pipes. Their old time shaving supplies and soaps are locally unrivaled. If you like tobacco, the Joes Blend is simply amazing. Thank you to the store, staff, and regulars for the conversation, advice, and great quality items!

What a fantastic establishment. I remember how welcome I always felt going into the B&B when it was in the college mall next to JC Penneys. I was much younger then and really didnt have the ability to buy much in Mikes store. Now that I am older, it strikes me how gracious of a man Mike is, because it wasnt a secret I didnt have the any buying power, but it didnt matter, Mike treated me well during every one of my many visits.

While I went to DePauw, I used to grab a cigar in the 80s from this shop when they were in the mall while visiting friends who attended IU. Now I stop in every time I visit my daughter who attends IU. The base of knowledge possessed by the folks who work here is incredible. I learn something new about pipe tobacco every time I visit. Wonderful selection of pipes and tobacco. Nice free lounge. Great asset to have in B-town!

Ill be honest, I only have ever gone for the tobacco. The rest of the merchandise isnt really on my radar, but it is beautiful workmanship and high quality stuff. I especially love the selection of canes. Most importantly the staff has always been welcoming and patient, even with those of us who know little to nothing about tobacco and cigars.

I come here a lot with friends. We talk a lot with the employees and they are always so friendly and helpful when we cant decide what to get. The smoke lounge is also really nice and comfy. Not to mention that they sell old cigar boxes and donate the proceeds to charity! How cool is that? I love using the boxes for all kinda of crafts.

Knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive staff- great selection of pipes, tobaccos, cigars, etc.- well ventilated and comfortable indoor smoking lounge- all around a great spot for any tobacco enthusiast. They also offer a variety of nice luggage if thats something youre looking for.

I love walking into this shop sometimes just to smell the scent of leather and tobacco that wafts right out the door and onto the street. The owner is always extremely helpful and laid back. Have bought several gifts here, including tobacco, luggage, and even car wax.

I love Briar & the Burley because the guy that runs it is awesome, they are open late, and they are experts in all things manly. Great selection of tobacco and cigars. Anything cool that a man might need, he can find here.

Great selection of cigars, pipes, and tobacco. Also has a great selection of shaving supplies and leather goods. A bit expensive but I guess they are luxury goods.
