Hello my Midwest brethren!

Is anyone interested in a Midwest meet up? I'm talking with the owner of Strike the Box in New Milford, IL and he is open to a pipe night or group meet up. Just trying to put out some feelers for maybe late January. Let me know and I can try to organize with the owner.

Looks like that's by Rockford, a bit far for me. Hell I haven't gotten around to meeting with the CPCC fellows in Arlington Hts and that's not far from me. I really need to get out more...lol

I lived in Freeport many moons ago. Hope you can get some folks together. If not head to Arlington Heights! It’s worth the drive.

There is a store in Rockford called Strike The Box... Allan the owner is a good guy with a nice selection pipes and cigars as well.

Strike the Box is the same location in New Milford the OP posted. I live maybe 30 minutes away. I'll have to check it out sometime.

He has BYOB nights that are pretty fun. Mostly cigar smokers but I've had fun every time I've gone. I'll see what date the February one is.
