That’s a pipe tobacco barren wasteland. There used to be a semi decent shop in downtown LaGrange, but he closed up years ago.
There’s the Cigar shop in Countryside, but that’s all cigars.
Then there’s the shop in Darien, they’ve go a small amount of pipe stuff.
Otherwise it’s into the city for Iwan Ries, or up to Arlington Heights.
Welcome aboard from central North Carolina. I grew up in Chicagoland, went to the city with my dad as a school kid, on my own with a buddy as a teenager, and commuted there to school ( U. of I. at Navy Pier in those days) for the first two years of college. I lived in the suburb of Park Ridge, near the corporate city limits of Chicago near the Chicago neighborhood Edison Park, on what was then the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad. Park Ridge used to have the Park Ridge Pipe Shop for about fifteen years, with a resident pipe carver and high end pipes, before I smoked a pipe. Do you ever get downtown to Iwan Ries? I've done some business with them online. I find it is pronounced Ivan Reese.
I usually go to Arlington pipe and cigar for my pipe stuff. Theres a chicago pipe club meeting on Saturday that im going to. Just picked up hh latakia flake and gawith and hoggarth rum flake last weekend at iwan ries.
Thank you! Ya Im in Roselle. I went to iwan ries last week and picked up some hh latakia flake and gawith and hoggarth rum flake.
