All pipe connoisseurs in Dublin, and I actually do know one, will be aware of Fox's and Peterson's on Lower Grafton Street, and also the Cigar Emporium on normal Grafton Street. What they may not be aware of is that P&P Barry, as well as being one of the smallest newagents in Dublin, sells all manner of pipe paraphernalia.
This tiny, wedge shaped shop with standing room for three at the limit sells all the confectionaries, papers and soft drinks you'd expect. On top of this, they have a window display chock-a-block with every conceivable cigar or pipe accessory I could think of. Though I have yet to ask, I would imagine this probably means they also stock a wider range of tobacco than elsewhere.
So four stars for P&P Barry's for being tiny and catering to the dying breed of pipe smokers out there.
