I’m happy to make him work for it. He’s my younger brother and I still have some childhood trauma to even the score on…and he’s my best mate so will go the extra mile lol
My idea was that if he was staying in the western suburbs, you could have it delivered to me and I would deliver it to your brother on Thursday or Friday. I usually get SPC deliveries in two days.

I really appreciate the offer of helping out. @chilllucky has generously come to the rescue. Blown away by the willingness of forum members to look out for their own.

Having ridden that commuter train from downtown Chicago to a suburb and back for two years, I can say it is not a bad ride, air conditioned of course, and fairly scenic from a tourist's point of view, some good cityscapes getting out of the city, and then various downtown shopping areas, picturesque in some cases. I don't know how far the pipe shop is from the commuter stop, but it could be an easy walk. Otherwise, a cab might be needed. My town had an excellent pipe shop right near the train tracks, but it closed years ago.

I almost sent him to the old Chicago smoke shop, just so I could say in the WAYS thread I was smoking something from the B&M where MSO’s great grandpa was the first mayor

It's sad to believe there is only one pipe shop in downtown Chicago that has a selection of premium blends, and not the ones you want.

Ahi Ka, was that a good guess or telepathy? My great grandpa was the first mayor of one of the suburbs on the Lake Michigan shore, but my hometown was closer in to the city. Or did I rattle on about family history in some post? He lived into his nineties and served as first mayor in his twenties and as mayor again much later in mid-life.

I didn't know my great grandpa; he was before my time. But he was a large personality.
