Boswell's Pipe's....Awesome!

[Sancho]

Being that I was staying in Chambersburg for the past couple days I stopped into Boswell's this afternoon, all I can say is if you get the oppurtunity to go definently stop in. I spoke to J.M., his wife Gail, his son Dan and all were very knowledgeable about pipes, tobacco etc etc. Apparently they purchase ~$25k in just raw briar each year and store it in a series of garages attached to their shop. They have a bunch of excellent house blends of both aero and non-aero baccy's which are all blended in house. Lastly, the pipes...wow does he make some nice looking pipes. I honestly think that his level of craftsmenship is extremely hard to beat for the money as most pipes are between $50-$90 with a multitude of higher end ones. The shop atmosphere is outstanding, very relaxed, although they kept offering me bowls of their baccy

When I picked out the pipe I liked, J.M. asked me if I'd like some tobacco to go with it and loaded me up a free ounce, tossed in a Czech tool, bundle of pipe cleaners, couple boxes of matches I was shocked at the level of customer service, as the shop was pretty busy.

Ended up leaving with a pipe, 5-6 ounces of house blends, and 2 tins of CC '06 So much for mot buying anymore pipes for a while!

I'll post some pics when I get back to the D
