My name is Eric Chaika, and I’m a tobacconist. My wife, Kim, and I run the store that my grandfather started in 1948; we have been at 108-1/2 Waterman Street in Providence, Rhode Island since 1960 something.. I’d like to welcome you to our web site.

I know the whys, wherefores and qualities of pipes, cigars and tobaccos, the hows and whats of their related accessories, and the meaning of value. The products we sell are at the intersection of art, craftsmanship, and practical use.

In our store we pride ourselves on personal service; all of our recommendations are personally tailored to the needs of the smoker. It’s hard to be personal on a web site, I suppose, but we stand ready to answer any questions you might have about our materials, and if you tell us what you’re looking for, we can help you find the perfect   product.
  For example, check "our suggestions" for a selection of some of the world's finest (and rare) cigars from great makers such as Fuente, Padron, La Aurora, and some special Partagas 160!

Please browse our site to your heart’s content. If you have any questions, call (401) 421-4499 during business hours,10am to 6pm Tuesday through Saturday, or send me e-mail at eric@redcarpetsmokeshop.com.

PLEASE NOTE-As age and time have advanced we have decided to join the wonderful world of the two day weekend; in consequence our new HOURS are--------

-----10am to 6pm-- Tuesday through Saturday--
