J Burke & Sons

The place is jam packed with tobacco products; and tobacco and aiming accessories. They have the best pipe tobacco prices on the South Island. After paying steep prices for cigars in downtown Victoria the lack of sticker shock is great.

There's a fantastic selection at the shop, the service is great the owner is always super helpful. Would definitely come back

Dismissive, rude staff. I came to this store to buy a pipe. The shops owner seemed very uninterested and didn't seem to care about making a sale. Seemed put out that I was there at all. He pointed out some of the higher end pipes and I asked if there was anything more affordable for a new pipe smoker, maybe a basket briar pipe. At this he became dismissive and pointed me toward the 10$ corn cobs. As a pipe smoker I am aware that pipes are expensive and I came with money to spend. Pardon me for not wanting to buy the first 200$ pipe you put in front of me. I don't know how places like this stay in business for so long. Don't waste your time, go see the good fellas instead.

WHAT CAN BE SAID FOR DR.BURKES SMOKE SHOP..I SHOP FOR THE GADGETS PEOPLE USE FOR THEY'RE BONGS PIPES, ONLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE SOME SOME AWESOME PIPES OUT THERE

The owner is a gentleman and provides great service. If people have an issue that's because they suck.

Great place good selection and service

Amazing selection and very friendly owner. I wandered in one day looking for a pipe and was shown his beautiful collection with phenomenal prices best I’ve ever seen would highly recommend.

I'd like to browse more but I always feel rushed by clerk. A lot of items to explore, but conversation seems avoided here. Bums rush is the feeling, regardless of how I dress, up or down. I do not feel welcome. I've tried multiple times. Same off-putting salesmanship every time. Sad.

The employee seems to be more business savvy than the owner ! I bought some tobacco that turned out to be inferior . The boss offered 2 dollars off my next purchase . Employee gave me several grams for free . I'll keep going back strictly because of that gesture of goodwill . Best prices on tobacco in Victoria ! Just avoid dealing with the owner ;)

Great selection of cigars. Owner is knowledgeable and laid back. A lovely supportive environment to shop in 10/10
