Here we go! There's enough notice that I should be able to make it. I just have to check with the planning committee.

Love their blends, especially “Route 22,” named for an old highway which runs through my hometown and past one of Boswell’s two Pennsylvania shops. See photo below. It would be a journey for me from near the Pittsburgh area, but may be worth it.

I am attending a National Fishing Lure Collectors Club meet in Akron, Ohio, the week prior, and plan a stop at The Pipe Rack in Akron, founded in 1968 and still going strong.

Is this meet-up open to all on these forums? And is there an “agenda”?

Open to all. The shop is open for regular business, so there are regular patrons there as well. No agenda, just good camaraderie.

From the thread on the other forum. I never get up in time for breakfast and I'm not a fan of scrapple...

Many of us meet at the Chambersburg Diner at 8:00 to fill up on scrapple and eggs, then head to the shop from about 900 til about 300.

Great, thank you!

I'd be down for some scrapple, eggs and pipes. I'll have to check the fam status to see if I can get away for the day.

 

[Dr. Van Loafer]

This is ironic as I was tentatively planning to make my first visit to Boswells on 11/18. Traveling to visit family that weekend and Boswells is not that far out the way so I was musing a stop. I dont think I would have time for an extended time in the lounge; nor am I sure what time I would arrive. All this sounds non-committal, but one is never sure how roadtrips will go with littles.

 

[RookieGuy80]

So I'll be at Boswells at least. I'll try to make the breakfast, but it'll really depend on when I can wake up.

I think I will be able to make it. Thanks for planning.

Can’t drive all the way across the country but …. reminded me to place a nice little order today!

Just verifying that scrapple is awesome.

 

[TheIronMonkey]

Unfortunately, it may be too long a drive for us to make again so soon. Hopefully, one day I’ll get there when a good number of members are there.

Scrapple is some good stuff, that said, it's not my top choice. I'd order bacon above all else. But if it's a place that people say, "you gotta get their scrapple" then order up!

 

[ssjones]

I can tell you that we, the self-titled "Boswells Hooligans" despite the name, are a very informal, friend and welcoming group. Usually there are some donuts and always there are tons of tobacco to try. We all definitely make purchases of tobacco and/or pipes, so the group taking up the generous lounge area is always a positive for the shop.

I prefer to get scrapple. Mainly because the girl hates it and that means it's not practical to make at home, I don't know anywhere I can buy it in a smaller amount. Bacon on the other hand I can cook about as much of that as i want at home and have zero worries about having more then we'll eat.

A reminder, our meet-up is this Saturday (11/18). We'll be upstairs in the lounge.

 

[Kobold]

Damn, I would have loved to go but we are moving that day.

 

[Infantry23]

I have been unable to make the past meet-ups but I might be able to swing it Saturday at 9am for awhile. I'll have to consult the family calendar and check my honey-do list but I hope to see you guys there!
