About Us

STORY 

Founded in December 2004, The Little Dog established itself as a beloved pipe and tobacco shop known for its commitment to quality and customer service. Our store began in Boulder, Colorado, with a passion for supporting local glassblowers, offering a dedicated space where customers can find unique, handcrafted glass pipes. This commitment to local artisans has helped The Little Dog win the title of Best Tobacco/Pipe Shop in Boulder Weekly's Best of Boulder, East County awards from 2014 to 2024. The partnership between founders Jim and Andy, which started in 2001, has been instrumental in building a store that not only sells products but also supports the local glass blowing community, with a place for artists to sell their glass reliably. 

MISSION

 Our passion for supporting local artisans drives us to exclusively stock glass pipes made by talented local glassblowers. Each piece in our shop is a unique work of art, crafted with skill and dedication that reflects the vibrant spirit of our community. By focusing on locally made glass, we’re able to offer our customers high-quality, one-of-a-kind pieces while supporting local artists and small businesses. Additionally, exceptional customer service remains a cornerstone of our mission, ensuring every visit is as memorable as the art we sell. 

VALUES

At The Little Dog, we pride ourselves on creating a welcoming environment where the art of glass blowing is both appreciated and celebrated. Our efforts extend beyond sales to include sustainability initiatives surrounding tobacco related products, including e-cigarette recycling. Our focus on competitive pay, a supportive work environment, and fair benefits has fostered a positive work culture. With knowledgeable long-term employees, The Little Dog is more than just a shop—it's a hub for lovers of fine tobacco products and locally made art, reflecting the vibrant spirit of Colorado!
