Moving to Utah, Recommendations?

[david555]

Hey, gang.

I'm moving to Ogden, Utah for the next five or six months for work (wildland firefighting) and am curious if there are any tobacco shops that anyone can recommend.

I did a search and only head shops were shown, hopefully that's not all there is.

thanks in advance for all the help!

I've never been there, but I have a decent store brand pipe from Jeanie's in Salt Lake City. A quick look at the Google info shows a Google Streets-like photo of the interior of the shop. They had a decent selection of pipes and tobacco.

Don't know of any shops that are even decent.
Stay in the good black.

You will truly be hitting it hard from the yard.

I have a sister in Ogden but don't recall any good pipe shops there. I made the trip down to Jeanie's for fun. It's a nice shop and while I was there the pipemaker Arley Curtz stopped in. Don't know if he is still carving and doing repairs.

Definitely visit Beehive Cigars in Salt Lake City. Decent amount of pipes, large tobacco selection, both house blends and tins. Large cigar humidor. Smoking lounge requires a fee due to state law. Be prepared for high tin prices because of the heinous Utah tobacco tax at 86%. The Mormon controlled state legislature wants to dissuade you from partaking in the evil weed.

Overall, a nice shop with a great staff. Highly recommended.

We even have a pipe club that meets there once a month. Check out “Utah Pipe Smokers” on Facebook.

That is a bad tax rate, but not as bad as WA (95%). Be safe out there man. That is a tough but amazing job.

David, as a fellow Utah pipe smoker, I’m sorry to say that the selection of B&M pipe stores/tobacconists here is pretty grim. Everywhere is anti-tobacco these days, but Utah even more than most. I haven’t been in a nice pipe shop since leaving Dallas many years ago.
Stock up online, and enjoy the other great things about Utah.

Thank you all for the good wishes and input. It looks like there are a couple of great looking shops but I'm definitely bringing a small stockpile with.

Don't know if Arley is still carving new stuff, but I did pick up an estate blasted lovat of his at the last West Coast Pipe Show. Great pipe.
You might be able to contact Mike Lancaster (TobaccoPipeCollctor) on YouTube/Instagram/Twitter/Facebook and he would possibly know if Arley is still carving. Mike is also in the Salt Lake area, so he may know of a shop close to Ogden since he's in Utah.

Don't show up for work drunk.
