From Connecticut, I need advice

[KC1IVW]

Hello from Connecticut. I’m a total novice. If anyone is familiar with the Connecticut/ Southern Massachusetts area. Can you refer me to a tobacconist. There are loads of smoke shops, but I’d like someone who is well acquainted with pipe smoking.
Thanks in advance.

At lot of the questions you might have can be addressed on this Forums under the category beginner questions. You might get a little guff, but mostly people are careful to give authentic answers, some backed by some serious experience and research.

Hello! Where in CT are you? I believe there is a pipe club in Hartford. As others mentioned, a trip to the Boston area would be well worth your while.

These are all great answers! Thank you all. Yes, the Boston area might be a cool solution for sure. And a club in Hartford? Well that’s something to investigate. ofafeather, I live in South Windsor, 39 minutes from Hartford. Not far at all.

I’ll repost my original question in the beginner section.
Thanks again

I live in South Windsor,

We live in Ancram, NY, just on the border of CT and MA. Bradley is one of our home airports and although we live about 45 miles it takes us 1:30 to get there bc we have to take RT 44 all the way across and the speed limit is sad, really sad, lol. Welcome to the forum.

I always forget about the Owl Shop. I’ve been in New Haven and Worcester but never made the connection that the Owl Shop was there.
