Purple Ringer is a nice smoke shop with friendly and knowledgeable staff and a fun atmosphere. They have some absolutely beautiful glass pipes, and water pipes ranging from the cheap (acrylic/plastic) to the fancy and elaborate hand-made glass pieces that change colors. Their prices are considerably lower than at Mellow Mood, just down the street. I also liked the fact that I wasn't bombarded with the strong smells of incense and scented oils, like at some other smoke shops. They have a pretty good selection of cigars, too, including some classic Honduran and Nicaraguan favorites, as well as the more entry level (read ""cheap"") stogeys. All in all, a good selection, decent prices, and friendly service. What more could one ask for in a smoke shop?
