Barclay-Rex Pipe Shop

Small shop but very helpful. Walked in and they were very attentive asking what I was looking for and letting me browse. The have a decent selection of house blend pipe tobacco, and they are more than willing to take the time to show you them and help you pick out the one best suited for you. I chose the Barclay slice, have yet to try it but looking forward to doing so. All in all would definitely return.

Barclay Rex is the best of the best. Everyone there is extremely nice and more than willing to help you find what your looking for. I’m a avid cigar smoker. And would recommend everyone to come to Barclay Rex.

Nice cigar spot. Very friendly service. Decent cigar variety. Laid back atmosphere, I was at Carnegie Club last night, I would much prefer to come back here instead. 3 stars because very limited seating and not as comfy.

I’m new to pipe smoking and went in to talk pipes. The guy there was suuuuper-​helpful and patient. You could tell he was a real pipe enthusiast, liked talking pipes and was happy to show someone the ropes.

While visiting NYC, I wanted to look at pipes. NYC is the city that has everything. Certainly, I would be able to find a great pipe store with some old guy to talk my ear off about tobacco and maybe a lounge in which to sit and check out a bit of the stores special blend. This location was not that place. The location is rather small and has no lounge area. What Barclay-​Rex does have is friendly customer service and a nice selection of really nice pipes. I can’t speak to the cigars, as I don’t smoke cigars and did not speak to the salesman about cigars.
I found the sales staff to be patient, knowledgeable, and very friendly.
i am a bit of a novice, so I am still finding my way around the prices, but from what I could see, the prices were quite reasonable and the selection was very decent.
Oh…I picked up a blend of some veerryy nice tobacco. smoked it with my new Savinelli and was very pleased.
If you are in midtown Manhattan and looking for a place for pipes, stop by Barclay-​Rex and tell the fellows I said hello.

Excellent cigar store near Grand Central Station. Staff knows their stuff and the humidor has a nice selection. Prices are what you expect in a Manhattan cigar store. They also have kindly refilled my lighter for me which I greatly appreciate.

My worst experience in cigar stores. One of the stuff guys stay in humidor all the time I was there make sure I did not steal something. It was horrible. Selection are banal. Store in Lexington Ave is much better.

Nice shop, very friendly and knowledgable staff, plenty of gift goodies for men. Tons of cigars and a nice smokers lounge.

Nice little shop right across the street from Grand Central. I know they have a bunch of locations around the city but this is the closest one to my office. The crowd is generally a bunch of suits but it’s generally laid back. The staff was very friendly and could answer all my questions. I like this place over Midtown Cigar as I feel their selection is way better. Can be pricey but that is NY taxes for you. Maybe a chair to sit in but this place is tiny and has no smoking lounge.

One of the best shopping experiences I’ve ever had period. The gentlemen inside immediately greeted me, then let me browse, and then began to aid in my search. I’ve been smoking pipe off and on for a few years now and these guys made me feel right at home. I’m on the younger side, for a pipe smoker, and still quite a novice but these guys treated me with respect and consideration, taught me lots of things about pipes and tobaccos. I went into this store with, what I considered, a decent budget for a new pipe and got a little intimidated by some of their pieces but after talking with Dan and Charles, I left with a beautiful pipe that was well within my budget and possibly a couple new chums. These guys are great at the grand central store and you can tell they really enjoy tobacco and all of its facets. I will definitely be back to see these guys and shop around. .
Ps I also had a great experience at the broad street location.

I like the shop by wall street. Excellent selection, expensive, however, you are pay for location and quaity. They are tobacco/​pipe smoking education 101.

I know… I know… I should quit smoking at these prices… yes…it kills… yes…my poor lungs.
But hey… I should stop drinking too, right? Sometimes, it’s the little things in life that keeps me going. Smoking… albeit not healthy… it’s a social thing for me. If I can count the number of great people I’ve met just from having a smoke!
That said… Barclay Rex is a great place to buy smokes. Cigars, pipes, cigarettes… they’ve got all the fixings.
And the service? Very friendly and helpful.
Also, convenient for me, considering I work one street over!

Second to none sales staff.
I particularly love the pipe shows they have sometimes Ardor, Ser Jacapo, Peterson, buy at discount during shows.
Best authentic new york Smoke shop
Best Barclay Rex in NYC too.
best pipe selection that I know of in the city.
Good to great Humidor, excellent cigar advice too. I had my first L G cigar there on their advice «winner»
