Events in the near future...
We have a few smoking events set up here. For the first one, the Bowls will be teaming up - the Tobacco Bowl and the Super Bowl. Come by Sunday, February 6, for our first-ever Super Bowl party. The second will be March 6 and it's a cigar tasting with Altadis U.S.A. Still not sure what cigars we'll be tasting (Romeo y Julieta? Trinidad? Montecristo? Joya de Nicaragua?), but I'm sure it will be something great. The last one is April 23 with Caribe Imported Cigars, and we'll be tasting the Camacho Corojo Monarca. Deals will be made at the two cigar tastings and a good time will be had by all. You WON'T want to miss these.

Memphis Tobacco Bowl History
Memphis Tobacco Bowl was begun in 1949 by Abe Katz in Memphis, Tennessee, at the corner of Madison Avenue and Front Street in the old Union Planters Bank building. Shortly thereafter, Jay Rorex purchased the shop and it was moved to the Goodwyn Institute Building at the corner of Madison Ave. and Second Street. In 1975 the operation relocated to its third Madison address at 152. In January of 1999 Mr. Rorex retired after 43 years and Memphis Tobacco Bowl was purchased by Richard J. Alley.
Over the years, Memphis Tobacco Bowl has seen the ups and downs of the tobacco trade, and downtown Memphis, and has been patronized by the likes of authors William Faulkner, James Jones and Shelby Foote; Memphis mayor Henry Loeb; philanthropist Abe Plough; famous father Vernon Presley; Charlie Chan's No. 1 son, Keye Luke; movie director Milos Forman, producer Michael Hausman, U.S. Senator and actor Fred Thompson, and actors Vincent Schiavelli, Richard Roundtree, Joaquin Phoenix and Robert Patrick. The interior of the shop was also featured in a scene of "The People vs. Larry Flynt."
In January of 2005 our own coffee bar, Memphis Coffee Exchange, was added inside the shop so you can sip gourmet coffee as you browse our goods - caffeine & nicotine under one roof. At Memphis Tobacco Bowl we strive to offer a quality product, first-rate and friendly customer service and a comfortable environment to sit, smoke and relax.
