I decided that my souvenir for myself should be a nice New York pipe with a house tobacco blend. The store is beautiful, the furniture and fixtures are all gorgeous. I bought a pipe that I hope will not outlast the company. I only wish I could remember the name of man who is their current pipe maker. Reading this brings the weekend full circle as it is about to end, between the preservation conference, my journey through the skyscraper lined streets, and this reading here my pipe just became a little bit more significant to me.Smaughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02819782720479767667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-81804041192590373002013-01-24T19:54:02.832-05:002013-01-24T19:54:02.832-05:00I think that location was Caswell- Masssey in the ...I think that location was Caswell- Masssey in the 60's and 70's am I mistaken??Darlenenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-44373042504906260272013-01-23T20:47:17.591-05:002013-01-23T20:47:17.591-05:00I worked at Barclay Rex for 5 years including that...I worked at Barclay Rex for 5 years including that last day of business. MY bosses name was Billy Rella. He was an old-school local 3 electrician who got into the cigar business as a result of his friendship with Vince Nasri. Billy was the best boss I ever had. A man who cared deeply for his crew and actually took pride in paying a living wage. I will miss him most of all. Thanks boss.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-12623761536661625802013-01-15T20:17:33.712-05:002013-01-15T20:17:33.712-05:00And Pj Clarke's is opening their Clarke's ...And Pj Clarke's is opening their Clarke's Standard burger joint right up the block on 54th and Lex.
