The Pipe Rack in Akron

[Scrapyard Ape]

A delightful place. I wish I could have walked away everything, but settled for a couple of house blends, a couple of C&D tins, and a nice unfinished Molina. When i lived in Florida, I frequented Bennington's in Sarasota often; this place is much nicer. I'll be going back frequently.

And that's where Guided by Voices hail from so you might actually see a Pollard running about. . I assume you're talking Akron Ohio.

I love the Pipe rack! I live just up the way in Cleveland and I discovered it back in December cause they had a pipe social night there. If I'm in the area I'll check them out and snag a tin or three. Most of the stores up in Cleveland are more geared to cigars or just have a few tins of Peterson brand but I think whoever runs that store knows what pipe smokers like.

Shoot I have a show in Akron tomorrow maybe I'll stop by before.

I play in a bluegrass band and I have a gig tomorrow night near Akron. I can't remember if I ever mentioned that here or not.

probably but these things get lost in the shuffle. That's pretty awesome. Though I have to admit bluegrass and folk for me is a weird genre I never have a middling reaction to it. I either don't care or think it's the bestest. I'll assume you're in the bestest category but either way it's awesome to get to preform.

I have driven up to two of their pipe nights and stocked up on a few things. An old school pipe shop where the cigar humidor is not the central feature. Great smoking lounge and fantastic staff. Pipe smokers in the Akron area are very lucky to have a shop like this.

There's actually a PipeWorld connection, degrees-of-separation style.

The guitarist Michael Daves is a longtime friend of Chris Thiele, whose dad, of course, is pipemaker Scott Thiele.

Here they are burnin' down the house playing as a duo ---
