Here's a relic of the 19th century on Government Street. I found it interesting that their website also contains some advertising copy that is as dated as their store.
Real men smoke pipes & cigars. And whatever walk of life you come from, smoking is more than just lighting up & toking. It’s an experience. A bold statement of character & style.
You can read more on the Old Morris website (if you can get past the required age verification - seriously, you have to be 19 years of age or older to read this stuff):

One of my fave stops every time I visited. My ex always wanted a Cuban cigar. Man they are pricey! I was always lucky customs didn't find it.
