Hello from Ohio

[lonenorthman]

Hey guys, just popping in and saying hi.
I've been smoking pipes for a little over ten years or so but just started branching out from my one pipe, one tobacco style about 8 months ago.
My first introduction to the online community was Reddit and after the bans came down I moved over to the Speak Easy forums. I'm again trying to branch out and get to know some people on other forums as well.
Looking forward to getting to know you guys.

Welcome from North Carolina! I'll soon be passing through your state on a road trip. Can't wait to stop by a few tobacconists along the way.

Welcome from western PA. What area of Ohio are you located? I have good friends in Boardman near Youngstown.

 

[lonenorthman]

I'm from Cleveland but I live in the suburbs now. Not too far out of the city though. Only about ten miles or so.
We do have quite a few nice shops here in Ohio I think. Most of them are pretty far away from me though. The only one near Cleveland is Cousins/Dads.. They have multiple locations under different names but they're all under the same ownership. I have a bit of history with them because they're the same tobacconist my father used to shop at before he moved back up to Minneapolis. EA Carey has a shop in Canton but I have never been down there to see if it has a storefront or if it's just a warehouse.
Thank you all for the welcome!

EA Carey appears to be a warehouse for online sales, based on the website and Google Maps street view.

<p>The street view look is one of the reasons I've never bothered to drive the half hour down there. I suppose I could just give them a call.. But I've got no gumption for that.

Hello from Fredericktown, Ohio (between Mansfield and Columbus)!
@techie - I was born in Youngstown and most of my family is still in the area: Boardman, Poland, Struthers, and New Catle, PA.

Welcome.

Another hello from Western Pennsylvania. I get to Ohio quite a bit. Haven’t found too many shops in the Cleveland area yet, but frequent the Pipe Rack in Akron.

Welcome to the forums!
I'm originally from Cincinnati. A lot of my family is still there. I moved out to Las Vegas with some of the family back in 2002 and have been in the desert of debauchery ever since.
