Hello fellow Wisconsinite! And what a beautiful part of our state. We often end up in La Crosse for one reason or another every other month
Hope we can meet up for a bowl at The Briar Patch in downtown lax sometime soon. We’ve had a regular group of pipe guys gather there on Sunday’s lately.

Sorry to bring you back to this old thread, but I was hoping to ask you about the pipe club in La Crosse, it would be a bit of a drive, but my wife and I love going to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe there, so I was thinking about making a visit to the shrine and then stop in for a smoke on a day that the club meets.

Hello everyone, I made an account a long time ago but then got distracted, so I'll make my introduction now. I've smoked a pipe off and on for a couple years now, and finally decided to make it my main form of indulging my nicotine habit. I had an uncle who always smoked Half and Half, and I love smoking it too. My preferences for pipe tobacco vary widely. I'll just as soon be in the mood to smoke an old OTC blend as I would pack a bowl of something more "refined". VaPers, Orientals, Aromatics, and everything in between I enjoy at different times. I'm in my late twenties, and seem to be part of the growing number of younger men, at least that I know of in my circle of friends, who have somewhat recently started to enjoy pipe smoking. I have three pipes currently in rotation, as an attempt to keep certain blends in a designated pipe, but none of them would probably be very impressive to you seasoned veterans here: a Missouri Meerschaum Country Gentleman, a Dr. Grabow Riviera (in honor of my late uncle), and last Christmas my lovely wife got me a Peterson Rusticated Derry (bent), which I love. Looking forward to getting to know you all and learning a lot!
Welcome! What city?

Hi! The shrine is beautiful nestled in the hills. I’m away for the winter so I don’t really know what’s been happening at the shop but I just texted a buddy and he reports there are usually a couple of pipe smokers who hang out on Sundays. No matter you’re always welcome to hang out for a pipe and or cigars!

Next time we go up to visit the shrine I'll be sure to stop in, thanks!

Welcome from the “Northland”! Glad to see the younger (than me) men picking up a pipe.
