Hows it going guys?! My name is Jimmy and I'm a new member and wanted to give you all my intro hello.

45 year old stepping out of cigars and into the pipe realm after 15 years of stogies. Hope to learn and enjoy some good convo on here.

What’s up. Me and another forum member on here are in Torrance and we started a South Bay pipe club called the Point Vicente Pipe Club. If you’re interested in meeting up for a smoke or just to hang out send me a message. It’s always great to meet another pipe smoker.

There is one nearby. It’s called Tobacco Trader LA. There is also the Tinder Box South Coast Plaza (Orange County). If you go deeper into Orange County the Tobacco Barn is great as well, and you can use their lounge, which is really nice, to smoke the tobacco you buy there.

Ok cool, I've been to Tinder Box. I'll have to hit the other spots. Thanks

Always nice to welcome a new member.

Then last time I was in LA was when we surprised my friend, a big LA Kings fan, with a trip down there, maybe in 2007? I couldn't believe how cheap the beer and seats were.

Greetings from Texas.
For about a year (2017-2018) we were commuting between Ft Worth and Long Beach every week. I swear I could not find a place that sold real pipe tobacco (not counting the convenience stores that sold giant $3 bags of floor sweepings) and I walked the whole city. The only place that was close was a cigar store on Broadway if I recall correctly, but she only had two tins. I made sure to bring enough with me from Texas after that.
I hope you are able to locate a tobacconist somewhere.
