J.M. Boswells Pipes And Cigars | Muttn-Journeys

In this episode of Muttn-Journeys, I've always wanted to go to Boswells Pipes and Cigars shop so I kidnapped Mike from BBG and drove the 8-hours to see one of the best pipe shops I've ever been to. I hope you enjoy the tour.

Oh... if only every town had a pipe shop such as this. Thanks for sharing, I can almost smell the atmosphere!

[@mountainlover8167]

I'm so sorry to hear you lost your Mother, your family will be in my prayers.

[@daviddepasque844]

I'm a frequent customer of Boswell's ,I live 6 miles away, what a great shop, JM and Dan are great.

[@keircampbell9374]

I’m loving seeing the Mad Muttonchop Piper in his natural element, going about in real life. Keep ‘em coming when you can, sir, these are great.

[@TheMrElzebub]

A muttonchop piper in his natural habitat. A studibacker.

[@AccessibleHunterPodcast]

I just purchased a JM Boswell Churchwarden, it’s amazing and the customer service was outstanding.

[@Quiet.Corner.CT_Pipes]

My deepest and sincerest condolences Chris on the loss of your Mother. Thank you for the tour. It's on my list of stops on my upcoming pipe pilgrimage.

[@SSgtPayne-jv3qv]

What a beautiful store, the smell must be amazing. I really love the Muttn-journeys, it’s a great idea

[@MuttnchopPiper]

it really did smell amazing, thanks for watching!

[@erics7712]

@@MuttnchopPiper too bad you weren’t able to see his other store near raystown lake. Beautiful part of the state. JM is an amazing guy.

[@georgebausewein3414]

I live in Florida, but summer in Maine. On the trip north this spring, we stopped at Boswell’s in Chambersburg. What a great place! Their tobaccos are fantastic and their selection of pipes is unparalleled. While in New England, I also visit LJ Peretti in Boston each year. It is the oldest tobacco shop in the U.S. and now over 153 years old. Their tobaccos are great too. I am happy to put Boswell’s in that same category. Great shop, and I plan to stop there twice a year as I travel between states. I will be stocking up each time!

[@ME-se7lq]

I've enjoyed the stories you've shared from your time in the Marines. If you ever feel so inclined, I'd love to hear more of them. Cheers from Ontario, Canada.

[@cameronmcpeak5183]

Happy piping from Alberta Canada!

[@SJVasick]

Prayers for your Mother, always.

[@spanishfly7709]

I like the music to this video sounds like you can get down with the get down.

[@oldhollywoodbriar]

I’ve been enjoying a lot of Boswells blends these days. Been hanging out in an old building downtown Los Angeles, staring out the window past the fire escape; smoking the lovely Boswell Aromatics to please the other people in the building. They love the smell. Dan’s Blend and Majestic 586 are incredibly good. May your beautiful mother, rest in the glory of eternity.

[@diversaurous]

Great video and warm memorial message for Muttenchop’s mom. Rest in eternal peace

[@mercster]

What a cozy place. Some places just make you feel at home and at ease... a library, a bookstore, and a place like this! Thanks Muttn.

[@mercster]

Condolences for your mother, bro... she's in a better place. She had a long life, wow!

[@boganery]

Hey Muttn! Cheers from Australia. We have lost all these wonderful places here in Australia, nanny state as we are. Anyway, loving the vids and advice. Glad to have found you upon your return, and I am sorry for your family's recent difficulties. It seems you have a great community of genuine and decent people. A rarity on the internet.

[@harleypiper5343]

Thank you for taking us along Muttonchop. It's on my bucket list. I'm very sorry for the loss of your Mom. My thoughts are with you and your family.

[@musketmerve1436]

What a wonderful tour. Thanks for taking us along. Ordered many things from Boswells over the years, and have never been disappointed. Absolutely love North Woods personally.

[@MuttnchopPiper]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@alrdye]

What a beautiful old shop. I’m going to place an order from them just to help support. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@sketchtown6663]

Loving these muttn-journeys, glad to have you back, cheers from Canada!

[@MuttnchopPiper]

Thanks!! Got any recommendations for pipe stores in Canada?

[@sketchtown6663]

@@MuttnchopPiper There arent very many near me where I am in Ontatrio, but there is Baracoa Cigars in London. They have a decent selection of tobaccos, but no where in my area seems to have a good selection of pipes. Most tobacco shops here carry some pipe tobacco but are set up mostly as cigar shops. As a fairly new pipe smoker its been challenging to expand my palate and see what I enjoy. if I ever find a good pipe shop around here I'll be sure to comment the location, just incase you're ever up north!

My condolences and prayers go out to you on the passing of your beloved mother Chris. Absolutely love this video and all your work so far. Truly inspiring. As a fellow serviceman in the Irish military for almost 35 years (retired2017) I commend you. Also, yes Chris. We too have that same motto ingrained into us from the very beginning. I wish you and all your family a very Happy St Patrick’s Day 2023 all the way from Dundalk, Ireland. Regards David.

I love your journeys, your way of explaining the method's, there is always a benefits from watching your videos Chris, and I'm sorry for your loss.. May she rest in peace. Keep it up.. wish you the best!

[@brianbarnes1941]

Can’t tell you how many hours I’ve spent @ Boswell’s!!!! Wonderful shop & excellent staff!!!

[@darrylthehorntoadpiper]

What a wonderful shop you toured! Thanks so much, glad to see their are still places like Boswells to ho & enjoy!👍👍

[@DKinPA]

Lucky to be able to visit that store often. Great folks. Sorry for your loss. May your Mother Rest In Peace.

[@dudden86]

I've very much enjoyed watching your videos lately and they''ve helped me immensely in my technique and enjoyment of this hobby so thank you! Apart from that I have to say that this video really touched me, it gave a brief glimpse into you as a person and the ending where you dedicated the video to your recently departed mother was really touching. I wish you all the best!

[@coreyroberts2831]

Started smoking pipe a little over a year ago and have watched and learned so much from your videos. So sorry to hear about your mother, I lost my father a couple weeks ago. You and your family will be in my prayers. And as long as we keep their memories alive, they're not really gone and we will see them again some day. God Bless.

[@AnOdinaryReaper]

I go here every now and again, the owners are amazing people. My brother was a regular and they’d always give the best service. 💜 much love y’all

[@jeffreysrnec3809]

I enjoy watching muttnchop piper's channel and have learned quite a bit about improving my pipe smoking experience! I plan on driving 15 hours to make the Boswell's trip withing the next year. Thanks for posting!

[@jamiehagenbuch8664]

Welcome to Pennsylvania! Been watching your videos for about 2 years... not a pipe smoker myself but your demeanor is very calming in this stressful world... wishing you all the best, and happy piping!

[@GabeandFamily]

It's also super cool to see someone start a channel to help others enjoy something as much as he or she enjoys it.

[@MuttnchopPiper]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@charliesouthwick533]

Keeping you and your family in my prayers. I think I speak for everyone that we appreciate the content you continue to put out during this difficult time. God bless you good sir

[@millardfretland4642]

You mom looked like a movie star. MC thanks so much for introducing me to the marvelous world of piping.

[@AlistairHig]

You can smell that store through the camera. Looks amazing.

[@EJGentleman]

Great video and Today on my way back from traveling stopped at the Alexandria store, met JM, and had a wonderful time there. Left with pipe, tobacco, and more. JM was so inviting and my family (all adults now) really enjoyed meeting him and seeing all he does. As you stated, the best pipe shop.

[@SMccrate01]

Got my first order of Boswell's Northwoods a couple of months ago and I love it! I'm a pretty new pipe smoker and missed out on the McClelland wonderfulness, however many online have said Northwoods is about the closest you will get to Frog Morton Cellar. Since I can't compare, I will take their word for it and look forward to the Blend Club review! I live about the same driving range to Boswell as you do I think, I am already plotting my trip! My condolences to your loss Chris, that was a lovely memorial.

[@scottplatt6933]

Hey Mutton, I just want to say thank you for your videos. I bought my first pipe the other day because of you. I've been smoking cigars for a little while now, but wanted to give pipes a try. Opened KZbin and boom, there you were. Your voice is so soothing, and your instructions are highly detailed. Thank you for the inspiration, and I look forward to learning so much more. I also want to pass along my most sincere and heartfelt sorrow at the passing of your mother. Your tribute to her at the end was a blessing to see. May you be granted peace that is beyond understanding, and be filled with memories of her love. Sending thoughts and prayers for you and your family. God bless.

[@frankgallik2653]

First off my condolences on your mother. My thoughts are with you. Thank you for the tour of Boswells. That was really nice to see the place.

[@TheWhiskeyChuck]

I noticed the Harley sticker on the windshield, I used to take keep an otter box humidor in my saddlebag, for cigars. Converted to a pipe-ready box now and perfect for taking in a view while on a little adventure. Thank you for your videos! Thank you for serving!

[@XanoviaScents]

Awesome video as always man... Really enjoyed watching... Also... I know it's late but my condolences on the passing of your Mom... Take care and God bless...

[@MuttnchopPiper]

Thank you

[@PilgrimPiper]

You are such a gentleman and I appreciate you very much. Peace be with you and your family. My condolences to you friend.

[@jimmullenax2872]

I had the opportunity to visit the Alexandria store today and meet JM. He and his staff were great and super friendly. I ended up picking up one of his pipes and a few ounces of several of his blends. I popped into the smokers lounge and everyone was super friendly. If you’re ever in the area I highly recommend stopping in. I will def make the trek again in the future.

[@JohnSmith-tz7iy]

Seeing you smoke makes me realize I'm puffing but I should be sipping. Awesome tour!

[@UrsaDew]

Sorry for your loss Mutton. Rest in Peace.

[@drpepperairlines1594]

As a young subscriber, that lived as an American in the Middle East from here and there, without any pipe tobacco shops. I can tell you what. Never feels better than walking into a tobacco shop filled pipe tobacco and pipes, also with a shiny colt on the side.

[@CoolFLDad]

Always love your videos! Looks like an awesome place to visit. Any plans for blend club?

[@The_Southland_Piper]

Thank You for your service. Sorry for your loss. Prayers.

[@MuttnchopPiper]

Thank you!

[@MisterDearly]

After watching this, I decided to go to Boswells for my birthday this last weekend. What a lovely store! I ended up buying a free hand and it's the most beautiful pipe I own. And Northwoods is a great blend. I love It. Thanks for this! I live in DC so it's not too far.

[@redwinger06]

Much love to you and the family. She was a lovely woman. 🖤

[@JohnAmidon-c6r]

Wow, what a store! An emporium, really. Thanks for the tour! 😊 Addendum: I lost my mother on December 23, 1993, so Christmas has been a little tough for me since then. Getting better, 'though. My condolences.

[@99biggee]

So glad the Muttnchopper is BACK !!!

Great place to visit. I just finished my morning coffee, and after this vid I know that my choice of baccy for this day of work will circle around english ;) All the best for You sir.

Imagine walking into your local B&M and standing there is Muttonchop Piper...then...you get to be in the video. That's so cool. I would love to go to Boswell's I'm putting on my list. Thanks for the tour!

[@chuckduttry]

So sorry for the loss of your mother Chris. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. On a positive note, it is wonderful to see that you were able to use your channel the way you have intended for awhile. So happy you were able to visit my home State of Pennsylvania in the most beautiful time of year, and you made it to a pipe smoking mecca. Great video

[@silverado669]

So glad you are back! My condolences about your mother, that’s a very tough experience to go through. Great video idea, going to Boswells. Loved the video.

[@sveltebarry]

I watch this at least once a day. It's informative and inadvertently great ASMR

[@RayVisotski]

I received my first Boswell pipe in 1981. I’ve been a customer ever since. Great selection, great staff, and always a great experience. Luckily, I travel up I-81 a few times a year. I always make plans to stop.

[@kaceesavage]

This place looks like a dream come true.

[@maverick25100]

I’m a new piper and have learned so much from your videos. I would of really loved hearing different music in the video. For such a long video which was great I almost wanted to turn off the sound just to watch the video as it was so repetitive. Keep the great stuff coming! Would love to join with blend club this year.

[@timbaker4423]

Thanks for the video(s). It's great to see you again.

[@CoolFLDad]

This was so kool to see. I’m a fan of the Boswell blends. I’d love to go there and get one of their pipes. Thank you for sharing

[@FIFTY21OCEAN]

Good afternoon sir! I was recently introduced to your channel, as I am just now starting out on pipe smoking. I have just recently purchase a corn cob pipe from Missouri Meerschaum along with their Independence Day blend tobacco. I have been doing research over the past few weeks and your videos have thoroughly help and I have really enjoyed just sitting back watching and learning. Thanks for all the great advice, videos, and also the field trips. Can't wait to start my journey in pipe smoking and also can't wait for more new content! Thanks MuttonChop Piper and as always keep piping!

[@dannypedder5337]

Thanks Muttn, that was an awesome tour. We don't see much of these stores in Canada, although there a still a few. Keep up the good work. Cheers

[@lancastercountyhousewright5107]

My favorite place on earth. I get there once a year or so and don’t want to leave. I enjoyed watching you experience it Chris. Just like doing it again for the first time myself. This video made me so happy. My go to blend is their no bite delite. Cheers brother!

i have progressed so far as a pipe smoker thanks to your videos. its even more cool that you are a fellow kentuckian. just wanted to say thank you sir

When you indicated some German people might get jealous seeing this indeed beautiful store, I initially thought "hm, pretty comparable to some I know here in Germany" BUT THEN when you showed that super comfy smoker's lounge upstairs... yes, yes, that is a thing to be jealous of, it can't be denied. just... whow!
