Weirdest thing this afternoon. Walked into the shop as I have for 2 years to buy a vape. I know…read morewhat I want and can get in and out in no time. Today, the guy at the counter asked me to "check my backpack at the door". I said no. I'm just going to the counter to buy something. He said "well it's protocol". I quickly and politely said, man I've been in here for years. No one has asked me to "check my backpack at the door". It was on my back. What am I going to steal? Upon paying for the simple transaction the dude says: hey I wasn't profiling you. Did it upset you? I just said whatever man. Ya. That was offensive. Whoever was on the counter today @ 2:42 pm today should not be in customer service. What the heck? So disappointed.

Telford's isn't just a shop; it was my first "home" when I moved to the Bay Area. Over the last 23…read moreyears, they have consistently provided exemplary service and curated what is easily the best and most extensive cigar selection in the region. Simply put: if they don't have it and can't get it, it probably doesn't exist. ​Thank you, Telford's, for over two decades of excellence.

So seriously, this is 5 Star on selections of Cigars. Also, 5 stars on the two people I talked to…read moreon pipes and cigars. I haven't seen a collection like this in Northern California. The guy that's been there 23+ years knows his stuff and guided me to some of his recent favorites. Hendricks was the younger dude and he was really helpful as well in explaining that the pipe I got for a deal was actually a rare find. He helped me buy some new pipes to smoke from. I think if you are a cigar or pipe person visiting the area I would come to this place and look at their collection. I think the vibe and people here were really nice. I'm from SoCal and I appreciated their hospitality. I got to enjoy a small my grandfather's cigar at the high top in the back for 30 min before close. Wish this place was near me!

Just visited Novato Zone for the first time after seeing such positive reviews. Though the…read moreinventory was admittedly somewhat impressive, I will not be returning there. Ever. I unfortunately did purchase a couple items, despite my reluctance. Why reluctant? Because the guy there was an incredibly unpleasant, unhelpful, rude jerk for absolutely no reason. I mean, hugely. Of the first two glass items he tried selling me, the first was defective and the second was-- that's right-- USED. How unsanitary is THAT? He tried saying it wasn't, when there was visibly several areas of brown residue inside the glass. When I wanted a different one, he behaved as if I was inconveniencing HIM. If time was not against me, I would have happily left and taken my biz elsewhere. He couldn't have been the owner, so whomever the owner is should know that the guy working this evening, a Monday shortly before closing, is not doing them any favors to say the very least.
