Great blog! I will throw some love to the first Tinder Box in Santa Monica, CA. Established in 1928 and still going strong. Love visiting them on a regular basis.

@MSO, looks like I have a run to Raleigh ahead of me when I get home sounds like a good time.

Please include Allegheny Smoke Works, Blawnox, PA. It falls into the "classic" pipe shop definition.

"You ever been there Johnnyreb...or have other info about the shop?"
Dolomite,
No, never was there. I found the pic when looking for pictures & info on cigar store indians. Pic was taken in 1947 and as I recall was in the same location thru the 1950's. Then it either moved or went out of business; I don't know which. If you google the name there is some info that comes up on a Florida history website. Also note the mentioning of Weingott Pipes on the window.
