Tobacco: Only have had one blend so far and I'm quite happy with it- Uhle's White Cavendash
However have had many different cigars and am a fan of Ashton, Sancho Panza and Hoya de Monterey
Pipe: Starting out with a Missouri Meerschaum Missouri Pride. Hope to be branching out soon.

| Hello all,
I wanted to know if anyone here knows of a good tobacco and pipe shop in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago. I'm looking for places between Vernon Hills and Gurnee. Any help would be much appreciated as I would like to browse for more pipes and new blends to try. My college released for winter break last week and now I am off until New Year's, and if I don't find little things to do like finding little pipe shops, I will go stir crazy in my house haha.
Thanks for any suggestions,
-Zach |

| Can't help with the 'burbs, but Iwan Ries is worth a train ride.
Do let us know what you find out there. |

| I'll echo Iwan Ries as a recommendation. I just left there after enjoying a pipe and some good conversation. Their pipe selection is stellar, as is their tobacco selection. Prices are pretty damn good too. Hop the L down to the Wabash and Madison Brown Line stop and you're there. Adam is the guy you want to talk to about pipes. |

| Iwan Ries is in downtown Chicago, which is a long trek from where UHM will be staying. |

Too true. Hopefully someone will know of a good tobacconist NW of the city. |
