The shop has a selection of new and used books, nothing great but when you're in a non-English speaking country you must make do with what you can find. There are a large selection of bibles and Christian themes as it is a Christian business. Lonely Planet guide books were avaialbe for many places and popular novels. It's over the top of marked US prices.
A fine selection of pipes, hookahs, and tobaccos along with gentleman's goods and on-site lighter repair shop! Tobacco other than cigarettes were hard to come by and this was one of two stores that I came across that was geared to serve the refined smoker. Tobacco ran from 3.50 Manat for American packaged goods e.g. Captain Black to 8 Manat for tins of English cuts.
Every corner store I just couldn't resist all the vodka they sell in Azerbaijan. They sell imported, domestic, funny bottles, cheap vodka, expensive vodka, it's all there at every turn. I wanted to sample them all, but ended up hauling back only a single bottle which disappeared fast. $ 3 - $40 US.
This shop is right in the middle of the old city of Baku, but on a road that has traffic, just off the pedestrian-only area.The building is hundreds of years old and perfectly suited for a carpet and antique shop. Carpets and other weavings.Carpets older than 50 years are not allowed out of Azerbaijan. So when you buy a carpet, you'll need what's called a 'Carpet Passport'. This is a document which verifies that the carpet is of a certian age, origin, etc. It is assesed by a government body after you buy it (can take as little as 2-3 hours to do) and comes with a photo and the buyer's name and passport number.What's good is this legal organization that asseses the carpets is not connected to the carpet shop so the carpet salesman can't tell you it's older/more expensive than it really is.When you leave Azerbaijan you can then show this document to the customs officials and they will let...
Caspian Fish Co. has shops all over Baku and some in the regions. There you can buy different fish but most importantly you can get the best caviar in the world! Both red and black caviar are available in these shops. Beluga is of course the best type of caviar around and it is also the most expensive. You can buy them in small cans because by law you can only take 200gr out of the country. Caspian Sea provides 90% of the world's caviar supply because it has sturgeon but the sturgeons are endagered species. Anyway, if you are in Azerbaijan, you can not leave without having tried some of the wonderful local caviar! Caviar is also a big part of the Azeri eating culture... A small can of caviar (110gr) is around $30-$50. Compare that to $300-$500 that you'd pay in New York or London.
