Hello all. Hoping for some newbie tobacco advice. And where I can find them in wa state with no mail order rules. Being new I'm mostly interested in replicating gramps old pipe smoke room notes. Those spice and rich memory smells from childhood. I'd love some more suggestions but I'm reading lane 1Q is a great place to start and have called about 15 shops in northwest washington / snohomish county but no one is even heard of it. Hard to even find places with a good selection of pipe tobacco and as stated it's against the law to order online from here.

Thanks for any advice...

I live on the east side of the state. I either have packages sent to Idaho or I visit Tobacco World in Spokane. I do not know of any site that will ship tobacco into WA state since early 2020.
I would ask the tobacco shops in your area where they source their house blends. They might call it something else. You might also ask for Captain Black Royal which is basically the same thing .

Welcome! I have only cursory knowledge regarding the tobbaco issues of your state. However, it’s amazing to me that 15 tobacco shops in the state of Washington have never heard of one of the most popular domestic blends of all-time? ?☕
Yep and some barely had any knowledge of pipe tobacco. The market is just flooded with vape and glass and anything beyond a few cigars is even rare. I'll need to improve my searches and radar.

Now that's pretty close to me. What local shops do you like for good aromatic selection? Thanks
I haven't been to any local shops (as there really aren't any!). The Tinderbox in Tacoma is probably a good bet though a pretty long drive through traffic. Mostly I got along with online ordering. Have you thought about joining the Seattle pipe club?

Will look into the pipe club. What online places do you like that ship to or in washington?

Thanks
