I recently found a Peterson pipe on line that I decided to buy. Ive shopped at the Tinder Box going back to the years when they were located in the Tacoma Mall, so Im familiar with their friendly staff and great selection. I contacted the store and asked if they could order the pipe for me. Not only were they willing to do that, but they matched the on-line retailers price without being asked. I am delighted with the pipe, and with my experience in purchasing it through the Tinder Box. If you are searching for a store with a great selection of tobacco, pipes, accessories, a great humidor, and above all, a staff with a real customer service attitude, you can do no better than to take your trade to the Tinder Box of Tacoma.

Ive been to quite a few smoke shops, but none of them are anywhere near as nice in terms of appearance and in service as Tinder Box. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and when I went in because I wanted to start smoking pipes, one of the female staff showed me all sorts of options and even gave me helpful tips. They are very polite and helpful, also their Waffle House blend tobacco is a MUST! In addition to pipes and high end preservative free tobacco, they have a huge cigar collection as well as a great shisha collection for hookahs. I highly recommend the Tinder Box to anyone.

Tinder Box Tacoma had a great selection, but I was turned off by the customer service. The person working there just didnt seem care whether I was going to purchase something or not. Attitude was just off as well, and it takes a lot for me to feel that way. Again, great selection, but just dont expect anything resembling good customer service. If you are in a hurry and need your cigar fix, I guess its okay to stop in, but if you have other options, I suggest you move on.

This is the best place in this part of Washington, if you are a pipe smoker. I wish I lived closer. The staff is great. The five star rating is based on this area. The competition is really lacking. The cigar selection is very good but the prices are high. That is a Washington State thing. I believe they must be trying to drive all tobacco traffic to the reservations. Forget about finding good pipes and pipe tobacco on a local reservation. This is the place for that

I live near two grocery stores that sell cigars. Prices are high. What sells for $10 at Tinderbox would be $12 or $13. However, what makes the 10 minute drive to Tinderbox worth it is that their cigars are cared for. The grocery cigars are dry, the wrappers are extremely fragile. For instance, last one I had the paper ring pulled some of the wrapper with it. Go for the knowledge.

This place is great. The staff lives to smoke. Very experience and friendly. I went here when I first started smoking after a tour over seas. I had no idea what I was looking for. They took me on a tour and answered all my questions and made some suggestions. Great prices and big selection. GO HERE! *the chick is pretty hot too ;-)

Cant find any other tobacco shops around like this. Tinder Box seems to be one of a kind in the greater Puget Sound area. This isnt some cheap smoke or tobacco shop. Their walk in humidor with a wide cigar selection as well as their jars of pipe tobacco and pipes for sale make this the one stop shop for any tobacco fans.

I made a point of calling the store to see if they had what I wanted in stock because I live so far away. The clerk d me they did, but low and behold when I got there they hadnt had any in a few days. They didnt even apologize. Their customer service is poor to say the least. Rude.

Cole Marchant

Very welcoming and professional worker. Knows a lot and I sore than willing to share if you ask! Great selection, not a pot shop and doesnt sell Marijuana pipes! This is what about 95% of tabacco shops sell, but this one is a true to the word tabacco. Pipes and cigars.

Robert Pirnie

A genuinely pleasant tobacconist. Large selection of bulk tobaccos and pipes. Equally large humidor for the cigar smoker. Friendly, knowledgeable staff who are willing to help. Always a fun visit.

Just left there. Was 20 cents short to make my purchase. (End of the pay period) The girl there was rude and made me feel like crap. I found the 20 cents in my car but I decided to go elsewhere.

First place weve found with loose tobacco to choose from. Husband is from UK and needed to find something comparable to Amber Leaf and this place was as good as he could find.

Chris Crane

If youre looking for a good cigar or pipe tobacco this is the place. They carry a good selection of quality smokes. Staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable as well!

Awesome store! Have about anything anyone could want for tobacco, and a few other cool nick-knacks. Great friendly staff and fair prices. Theyve earned a loyal customer!

This is one of the best smoke shops I have been to. They are very professional here, and appreciate their customers. Very nice cigar and pipe tobacco selection.

Dave Fields

I have ordered my pipe tobacco from Tinder Box every few months for several years. They mail my tobacco to me and I have had few problems over that time.

Josh K

Girl was rude and seemed upset about my questions regarding pipe tobacco. I was the only one in the store. Great selection, but I wont be back.

A great place to learn how to take up smoking a pipe, the people will gladly tell you what you need to know and give reading material.

Great store. We make our own cigarettes, and they always have the supplies we need in stock. Staff is always friendly.
