The shop was also hurt when by the smoking ban, as the corporate and club clients all stopped stocking cigars for their events. Mr Gaglani also said that Snuff has increased in sales since the ban. The shop also sell Snuff (which is also made from tobacco). His partner is seen in some of the photos. ©Tom Wagner 2008, all rights reserved, all moral rights asserted..
