My Haul From Edward's Pipe and Tobacco In Tampa

[pipetrucker]

I took a ride over to Edward's Pipe and Tobacco in Tampa. After spending some time looking around I decided to treat myself, as a birthday gift to self, to a Smitty's pipe. They are made locally.

I also found a metal folding pipe stand. I have always carried one of the inexpensive plastic ones, but found the metal one to be quite affordable as well as more classy looking. And, chrome is my favorite color LOL

I also picked up 7 ounces of their 505 blend, which is Burley, toasted Cavendish, and Virginia. A good, all natural smoke.

I really enjoyed my visit to their shop and they were quite curious about the rather large truck parked in their lot in full view of the door. It was a pleasant visit and I enjoyed looking over the selection of pipes, as well as the attentive, friendly service. Nice folks.

Hmmmm... now, why would a truck driver like chrome??? (LOL)
Great looking pipe!

Thanks, gents.
The bowl is of average size, I would say. Perhaps slightly on the larger end of the "average" scale. The stem is fairly short.
Here's a pic to put it to scale:

Edward's does not sell online themselves, but they have a wholesale division that sells to other retailers. If you look around, you might find them available at a local B&M or an online shop that's part of a B&M.
One of the first articles I ever published on this site was on Edward's in Tampa. You can see my Smitty pipe in there too.

That reminds me I should take a trip to Edwards here in Jacksonville. Its probably been close to a year since I made my way there.

Thanks, gents.
Kevin, I found your article on Edwards as I was searching the web for reviews on the shop. It was the primary reason I decided to go and visit them.
