Seeking Worthy Shops in Lexington, Kentucky

briarfriar · Aug 2, 2017

I'll have the good fortune to visit Lexington, Kentucky for a few days next month, and am hoping to stop at any pipe shops that may be in the area.
Any recommendations? (Google isn't very helpful in separating real smoke shops from "glass pipe" retailers or in distinguishing pipe shops from cigar stores.)

The only one I know of is Schwabb's Pipes and Stuff. Ran by Jeff Schwabb. Great guy.

Schwabs in Lexington is the hallmark Tobacconist in the city.

It's at 245 Southland Dr, Lexington, KY 40503.

You may even see Muttnchop Piper there.
Another option is a little drive up to Florence Ky to Strauss Tobacconist. They have a good variety of pipes and tobacco (And cigars if so inclined) with a very comfy lounge.
I live in Louisville and will occasionally make a day of visiting those shops.

Many thanks! I doubt I'll have time to venture out of Lexington, but I'll keep Strauss in mind.

Schwabb's has a great walk in humidor, a small but comfy lounge, and a nice selection of smoker's trappings, and a very good selection of pipes. Have been dealing with them since Jeff's dad ran the store decades ago. A very class act.

Oh, if you're into aromatics, Schwabb's "Vanilla Pie" is amazing.

It sounds as if Lexi is better provided than most cities of its size.
