Pipe Sightings!

[buster]

Not so much a pipe smoker sighting but a pipe sighting. A little back story first. So I got a job at Bass Pro Shops a month ago in a store under construction. I work nights and so far we are just setting up the fishing department. I am in the fly fishing area. Taxidermy fish and other antique things like creels are arriving for decoration. I spotted two pipe racks, jars and a bunch of estate pipes. Briars and cobs! I had to pull a few out and check the pipes out. Needless to say I was pretty happy to see some old pipe smoking stuff at my place of work!

Cool story. We just had a Bass Pro Shop open down the road from us up here in Ontario. Have gone a few times. It's a really cool store.

I like that a giant retail store is not afraid of decorating with tobacco related items. Especially that this store is located in health nazi land known as California.

That's pretty cool for sure. I love going to Bass Pro! Being an outdoorsman who enjoys camping, hiking, fishing, hunting and shooting I could lose myself in there for hours. I live in Ontario but the closest one to me is about a half hour away in Michigan ::

Where, please, buster?

Jp, the store is located in San Jose California.

Dam Peck! You live in Canada an have one of the biggest baccy cellars. I always read about Canadians having trouble getting little amounts. How did you manage it. Seriously! I am curious.

Took me a while to find them in the main entrance since us employees enter from another door. They are on this old school fly tying desk.

Awesome, if I am ever in the South Bay I will swing by the store and try to spot them!

Pretty cool. Bass pro buying out Cabelas has been somewhat bittersweet for Nebraskans, but I for one am looking forward to the revamped store down the road from us.
