Each of the following tobacconists has an outstanding collection of cigars, tobaccos, pipes and cigarettes as well as the the tools and accessories normally sought after by tobacco lovers. In my opinion the two very best tobacco stores in the world are those of Davidoff in Geneva and Alfred Dunhill in London, but one should keep in mind that the prices at these stores and their branches can be very, very high. Both of those stores, like several of the others mentioned below, have branches (mostly in Chicago, Beverly Hills, Dallas, Honolulu, Houston, San Diego, Tokyo, San Francisco and Seattle). Stores with such branches are noted with an apostrophe (*). In the list that follows I mention only those that I consider the best stocked and most interesting branches.
