J.M. Boswells - Chambersburg

[Dr. Van Loafer]

Finally made it out to Boswell’s and it was everything I imagined and more. Top notch customer service, shelves of tobacco, wall of pipes, an expansive smoking lounge. Wow! Had a very successful trip picking up some great blends that were expertly recommended by their staff. Wonderful time, wish I could have spent more time. Thank you!

Great people there, and up in Alexandria

Love visiting there. I still need to get over to Alexandria sometime.

I've only seen videos of people who have been there. It looks like a tremendous place!!

Nice haul, friend. You really picked some delicious blends. Northwoods is a favorite of mine.
Enjoy!

I always love visiting there - I live about 3 hours away but book music jobs out that way just so I have an excuse to go visit

It's a lovely shop - I visited a few weeks ago. Acted as a helpful third-party for a first-time pipe smoker who wanted to get a few pipes and some tobacco to share with his friends for a weekend in the mountains (he got three basket pipes, the holiday variety pack and a Czech tool or two).
I walked out with a jar of Titus (mostly because it had a handsome dog on it and smelled nice) and a Boswell pipe which is probably the best smoker in my small collection.

The younger mustachioed fellow is very good at his job, and the lounge regulars made for fine company while I was trying my new pipe.

Yep, the young man with the curly handle bar mustache recommended to me Burley Flake and Old Gowrie. He was super knowledgable, not pushy, and treated me like the only person in the store.

Northwoods was on my definite list to pick up for myself, and after conversing with the staff about my likes they recommended Mild English. Going to give that a go today!

I've only been to the store in Alexandria and JM is always there. I love just listening to him talk pipes and tobacco!! He is a genuinely good guy who loves what he does based on my experiences.

The boswells are some of the best around when it comes to customer service and JM himself cuts beautiful smoking pipes.

Stopped off earlier today. Great shop and great folks there.

I love this shop. Everyone is very friendly and well knowledgeable. This store is my starting point. I love the fact that they have a smoking lounge upstairs, which I have not had a chance to check out yet.

I have smoked all the in-house blends I purchased: Northwoods, Mild English, Private Stock, and Old School. All have great flavor, very approachable, burn even, and mechanically works well in any pipe. Surprising to me is that I enjoyed Mild English the most. Just a great blend with a wonderful room note.

Interesting that you love Mild English the most. I’ll have to give that one a shot.

I was surprised as well as I was for sure Northwoods and I would be best friends.
