The Briary: Cigar and Pipe Shop in Birmingham, Alabama


The Briary Pipe and Tobacco Shop was established in 1974 and in March 2000 they relocated their location from a small shop in the mall and bought and refurbished a beautiful old 1899 farm house.



 

                The Briary is located              
at 609 Oak Grove Road, Homewood, Al 35209 

My first experience with the Briary was when I was "squatting" in the parking lot of Shades Valley Church in the early year of 2010. The briary was located right across the street and was a easy morning walk to pick up some of the finest tobacco, one has to offer. 
As I walked in I was greeted with friendly smiles and the amazing aroma that filled the walls of this old farm house. 

Over the years I have been to many Tobacco shops across the country. 
Most of them I have walked into and I don't even get greeted. Most likely because of my appearance, which I can understand. It is hard to believe some long haired, big bearded man is looking for a pipe for the right kind of smoking. Ha!
But I have never been treated so well and have found this kind of quality anywhere else but the briary.

"We have a extra large humidor filled with a wide choice of tobacco and cigars. A room to showcase our large assortment of pipes from American, Italian, Danish and even French and everything in between, we also have tinned and loose tobaccos. We have a separate room for our gifts, lighters, humidors and accessories. We also have a kitchen stocked with sodas and coffee. And best of all we have a great smoking room with a palm leaf fan where you can relax on the leather chair or sofas and have in-depth conversations with your friends." - The Briary Website
