Seattle Pipe Shop?

[mattia76]

Who can recommend a good pipe shop in Seattle?

Heading there for a conference this week.

I'm afraid you are going to find pipe shops lacking in Seattle.
Washington State would be perfectly content to run out every tobacco user.
Kirsten Pipe Co. is in Seattle. They have 2 locations (original store in Ballard - Map1 and a new store in downtown Seattle - Map2)
I haven't been in the newer store downtown, but I understand they cater more to cigar smokers.
Rain City Cigar has a small pipe/pipe tobacco selection as well.

Risking a little thread necromancy here - any change over the last year? I'll be in Seattle next week, and we're already planning a stop by the Kirsten Pipe Co. (still debating which store - we know exactly where the Westlake one is, but would enjoy seeing the original Ballard location).

Hi Phred.

The only changes since this thread started are that Kirsten's is no longer making or selling Kirsten's pipes. It's just a regular pipe/tobacco store now.

And our taxes rates have gone up to 95%, so everything costs double here. It's not a happy state for pipe smokers.
There is also a small Tobacco Patch right near the Pike Place Market. 1906 Pike Place - It's kind of hidden at the back of the building.
Here is the more recent thread: Best Pipe Store in Seattle

Thanks, Philip! Pike Place is on our usual pilgrimage route, so we'll definitely check out Tobacco Patch. Bummer about Kirsten - guess I'll have to hit eBay after all...
