Lehigh Valley Pipe smokers

[duncan]

Just trying to get a feel of anyone in the area that smokes a pipe and were they go. I have seen a ton of passer bys in cars just wondering if any are on here

Sure is, like I said just kinda getting a feel for the pipers in the area. Also remember only 2 weeks till CelticFest.

I'm in Hanover Twp, Northampton Cty. About 7 miles from the store in Whitehall. As you know, Duncan, I'm there 5-6 days a week in the afternoon with cigars and pipes in hand.

Yesterday I bought a tin of CAO's Cherry Bomb. Its been many years since I had a cherry blend. Pretty nice, with a soft cherry nose, nothing like the bulk cherry blends there. I didn't pick up any of the vanilla in it but that is what mey be softening the cherry.

I'll be experimenting more today.

Nice, I gotta get over to the store. Maybe next week if I find time in my schedule with the kids birthday and all. Oh, well what can you do between work and soccer and family events gotta do what I gotta do.

That's the beautiful thing about retirement and being empty nesters. Plenty of time for life's guilty pleasures.

Just curious what CelticFest is about?

 

[papipeguy]

CelticFest is pretty much about watching big, burley guys in kilts toss the cabir, big stones and other Scottish sports, eating and drinking. Celtic music abounds. I've never gone but its supposed to be great fun.

It is a Celtic pride sorta festival. Highland games, music, food and lots of GOOD beer. My father and I always go in our Kilts and get slobbernockered. I will be on call this year so I have to sorta behave myself. All in all it is a great time and did I mention the beer.

Hey I'm originally from Pottsville. I often come up on the weekends to visit family from Maryland. When do you guys meet up?

 

[lestrout]

ces - I'm thinking it's the Tobacco Village in Whitehall, not far from Rte 22. When I'm in the area, I like to visit and pick up a tin or 3 and look at their pipes.

[ssjones]

Hmm, thanks, I'll keep Tobacco Village in mind when I'm driving on 78 back to Maryland. Maybe I'll bump into papipeguy.

Good luck with the club. Along with John Chaplick, the Pocono Intermountain Pipe Enthusiasts (PIPE) meets Thursday nights. All are welcome to attend. As your club gets going, maybe we can do some event together. Also, consider joining United Pipe Clubs of America (see http://unitedpipeclubs.org).
