The Tobacco Patch in Kirkland is primarily a cigar store with pipe stuff. The place is much smaller than I remember from 6-8 years ago; they seem to have lost about 2/3 of their former floor space. I saw no sign of 'alternative non-tobacco' smoking gear. (There is such a place just around the corner though, with lots of shiny hookas on display; I didn't go in.)
They have mostly mid-range pipes, Mastro de Paja, Peterson, WO Larson, etc. They do have some Autographs and Castellos if you have money to burn. Their tobacco selection is pretty pedestrian, from MacBaren to ... uh... I don't remember what else!
Not a bad place, in a lovely part of town (tons of restaurants and lots of pleasant strolling), but a far cry from what pipe shops used to be before we got slammed by the 125% tobacco tax here.
There was also, at one time, a Tobacco Patch at the Pike Place Market. I haven't been there in years, so no idea if it's still there.
