So I’m well aware of the seasoned tradition of cultivating tobacco in the Pioneer Valley. I pass some tobacco barns regularly where you can catch glimpses of the leaves drying between the slats. But where does one *purchase* this local plant? The roadside farm stands and weekend farmers markets are awash with fruits and vegetables. But if you wanted to purchase some tobacco for a pipe is there a place you or your smokey ol granpappy recommend?

Obvi I can read google reviews. But I want your takes. I want your valley-wide clique comparisons. Like oh all the true meatheads lift here. The Pilates mamis all reform there. You can never find a machine here but there’s never anyone working out there. Classes over there will gut you but classes at the other spot are a good place to yap and make friends. I want vibes and tea and to get a sense of the scene, not just a breakdown of prices and equipment. Looking for a gym and I want to learn the landscape.
