Proprietors John Anderson and Matt Krimm offer a full array of cigars, pipes, pipe tobacco, snus and smoking accessories (lighters, ashtrays, cutters, punches etc.,) to a national clientele. For 123 years Drapers has served all manner of patrons from, messengers and civil servants, to executives, ambassadors and occupants of a certain White House.
