October of 2003 marked a special occasion for the Tinder Box in Santa Monica...celebrating our 76th year in business. The Tinder Box in Santa Monica is the original Tinder Box store, also known as Ed's Pipe Shop. Our home is a home built in the early 1900's. The walls and wood ceiling are covered with antiques, old pipes, and pictures, giving the feel of an old English setting. Immediately upon walking in, you get a warm and comfortable feeling. Within these walls you will find that we have a full line of cigars, 80 to 90 brands and that we are a Davidoff Appointed Merchant and a General Cigar Special Dealership.

We have the largest selection...

We offer a 10% discount off full boxes or bundles of cigars! We stock one of the largest selections of pipes, both briar and meerschaum around, and we are a Dunhill Principal Pipe Dealer. We also offer most Tinder Box Exclusive Custom Blended Tobaccos as well as a variety of house and personal customer blends. Looking for the unusual gift or smoker's accessory? We have the largest selection on the west side of Los Angeles! We are located in the City of Santa Monica at the corner of Wilshire Blvd. and Harvard Street. We're approximately 29 blocks from the ocean and we are a landmark in the area! Come see us soon!
