J.M. Boswell Profile Piece

[admin]

What a pleasure to read about a real old-school retail tobacconist / pipe maker / tobacco blender that has been doing it his entire adult life. Check it out right here -
J.M. Boswell, Stradivari of the Pipe World

Quite a glowing write-up, and well deserved. Going to the Boswell shop is always a treat, and since today is Thursday there are new pipes up on the site to drool over, some cool stuff this week.

Left a comment on the article, the Boswells seem like a class act as a business, manufacturer and as people. I'll be happy to give them my business again in the future.

Gotta love Boswells! Their style is very unique, and quality is top notch.

I don't have one my self, but my buddy has several of their pipes, and they're very well made.
This thread reminds me, I'm about out of their Northwoods Blend. Man, I need to order some more of that!

The Boswells are great people to deal with. I have five Boswell pipes and they are all good smokers.

Great article. My buddy happened to be in the area last weekend and happened to stumble upon the shop. He's not a pipe guy but was nonetheless impressed by the place. Will pass this along to him.

Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!
I see bags of Penzance in there!

(or at least a lot of bags of Esoterica Tobacco - Stonehaven perhaps?)

A bunch of us are getting together at Boswells this Saturday (9/5) starting at 9 AM, drop by if you are in the area and meet JM in person.
That was a good interview. JM can be tight lipped about his personal history (but not his opinions!).

How was it? (Since I assume you'll read this only when you get home... if not, you're too addicted to technology

A short stay this morning, but we had a grand time. Woodsroad (Dan) had just sent me some Standard Tobacco Company of PA samples. The boys loved the Bengal Slices and Warhorse. I particularly enjoyed the War Horse and will get some tins when they are released. The Boswell team really does treat you like we were Kings.

I'm in PA but Boswells,s is 2 hours from me. I visited once and they are great people to deal with.
