Meet Dave Sorge. He is the owner and operator of London, Ontario’s very own licensed registered tobacconist: Baracoa Tobacconist Cigar Shop. Dave has been in this business for six years, recently moving his shop to 173 Wharncliffe Road South. While specializing in cigars, Dave also sells an array of top of the line accessories from humidors (they will season them for all customers, free of charge), to pipes and pipe tobacco, lighters, cutters, fixtures and even men’s shaving supplies! Most recently, Dave expanded his inventory to the vaping world. This shop is undoubtedly the Forest City’s premier destination for all things tobacco!
Because Baracoa is a licensed registered tobacconist, the products are approved to be on display, and this sets Dave’s shop apart from the rest. The inventory of cigars available to buy come from the leading tobacco-producing countries: Cuba, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Honduras. There is also an extensive selection from lesser known tobacco producers such as Italy, Ecuador, Canary Islands, Philippines and Mexico. Dave explains that in the face of significant headwinds with taxation and regulation, there is still a very high demand for tobacconists.
A unique feature is the customizable groomsmen packages that are available to purchase. Choose from a variety of cigars, cutters, lighters, travel cases, flasks, money clips and humidors to make the ultimate gift for your party on the special day. Baracoa even has an in-house engraver to personalize any product after purchase! Whether you are a tobacco amateur or aficionado, Barbacoa Tobacconist will unquestionably educate and provide you with everything you need to get started or expand your collection. Thanks for tuning in to this week’s #BusinessOfTheWeek, and see you next time!
