Greetings from Cleveland, Ohio

[esnowrackley]

Cleveland is not a pipe town, so it's a good thing I've got the internet. I'm a younger pipe smoker, 21 years old, and been smoking a pipe for a couple of years now. I've started a small collection which is currently about six pipes large. I hope to continue expanding my collection and my knowledge of the pipe tobacco world.

Welcome aboard from Florida. What are you smoking?

Thanks, Elric. I started with some local house aromatics, but I've been moving into English blends lately. My most recent pipe acquisition is a Richcraft Special Grain 55, which I'm trying to get more information on. I've just restored it and I hope to give it an inaugural smoke with either Presbyterian or Captain Earle's Private Stock, depending on how I'm feeling.

Hello. I don't know where exactly in Cleveland you are but on the West side, Cousin's in Avon has a nice selection of tobacco and enough pipes. Say hello to Josh there. On the east side, there is Cousin's in Woodmere. Kelly runs that shop. In Solon, there is Port Royal. Not a big selection but Nick, the owner is aces. There are two good shops in Akron as well.

Hey Mike, thanks for the suggestions. I haven't been to Cousin's yet, but I've heard great things. On the far West Side there's Robusto & Briar. They really know their stuff, so I've been going there. The Cleveland Pipe Club meets at JoVann's over on the East Side. I will try to make it out to Cousin's soon.
