thanks for all the suggestions everyone. I am staying at the Marriott west in st louis. Will have to see how far these places are from my hotel.

The other suggestions are good ideas while in Minneapolis, but my go to store, is Golden Leaf in Uptown. They have all the great brands, Tats, Illusione and the standards. Great service and places to relax and smoke. It's become my "coffee shop". A great place. Prices are high here, but not as bad as Cali and other states. Buy a few sticks and hang out. Then, hit the night life in Uptown, it can make for a great evening!

Some options close to you are:
Tinderbox - Manchester Road in DesPeres (13275 Manchester Road), 63131 - 6 miles from hotel
Top Hat Tobacco - 124 West Jefferson Avenue, Kirkwood, 63122 - 9 miles from hotel
Town and Country Tobacco - 13933 Manchester Rd, Ballwin, MO 63011 - 7 miles from hotel

Worth a little drive:
Jon's Pipe Shop - 42 North Central Avenue, St Louis (Clayton), MO 63105 - 11 miles from hotel
The Hill Cigar Co. - 5360 Southwest Avenue, St Louis, MO 63139 - 14.5 miles from hotel

I would personally recommend The Hill.
Not only for the selection and friendly folks, but also because the abundance of great food in the area. Have a great Italian meal and finish it off with a smoke.


One other suggestion...
If you like beer, The International Tap House is a must.
Just 8 miles west of the hotel on I-64/40 will have you in beer heaven.
500 beers, 40 on tap. All from 20 Countries.
161 Long Road Chesterfield, MO 63005

**additional side note.... unfortunately, most places like the Tap House are now smoke free **
