*PROHIBITION is now
happening with online TOBACCO ORDERS and BOSWELL PIPES !!!
Credit card
processors have decided that they will no longer process transactions for us,
since we are an online tobacco retailer.
We can continue providing you with the highest quality hand-blended tobacco, if we go back to
the "old school" way, by sending a check or money order, or a direct debit (AUTOMATIC PAYMENT FORM) for your order.
J.M. started a mail order tobacco business in the
mid-seventies, and Boswell Pipes can still guarantee your favorite blends today.
They haven’t taken away our
phones and e-mail yet! To place an order, you can call us at (717)264-1711, or
email us (BOSWELLPIPES@COMCAST.NET), and we'll
give you your total. Along with your orders, we will be including an ORDER FORM with a postage paid envelope for your convenience.
On a positive note, our tobacco
prices are $.30 less per ounce, now that we do not have to pay outrageous credit
card processing fees. We can pass that savings along to you.
Not to Worry - We will still have Thursday's PIPES FOR SALE
UPDATE. These pipes will be purchased using a check, money order, or direct debit (AUTOMATIC PAYMENT FORM).
Additionally,we will be listing pipes on our
Ebay store under GB586.
For
customers who enjoy the convenience of Ebay, these Boswell pipes will be listed
using the BUY NOW feature. More pipes will be added on Monday, May 27th (Memorial Day).
We thank you for your
loyalty and for supporting a small family business!

“Pipe Lore: The Legend of Briar”
“In 1857,” says Al, nesting into his easy chair, ever-present pipe in hand, “a French nobleman was traveling through the southernmost part of his country’s Jura Mountains. In a small village called Saint-Claude, he settled down for a meal and the enjoyment of his favorite Turkish meerschaum pipe. But, he broke the brittle bowl!
“As it turned out,” Al continues, “a local woodcarver happened to have a chunk of aged root burl from the white heath tree {Erica arborea}, a woody shrub that grows in harsh, rocky soil. It took the carver all night to carve a pipe from the rocklike wood. After trying the new pipe,” Al puffs for emphasis, “ the elegant “Frenchman thought it far superior to his old meerschaum. From that day on, briar’s fame spread- first throughout France, then all of Europe.
“Today, 90 percent of all pipes are made of briar. And, the village of Saint-Claude calls itself the world’s briar-pipe capital.”
Briar destined for the world’s finest pipes still comes from the mountain country around the Mediterranean Sea in France, Italy, Greece, Spain, and the islands of Corsica and Sicily. In these countries, diggers unearth the root burls and deliver them to the mills. There, saws cut the largest part of the burls into blocks called ebauchons. Blocks sawn from the upper and outer layer of the burl – distinguished by a pebble-textured “skin” – are named plateaux, and command top dollar.*

"The Story In a Pipe and Cigar"
"It is now generally agreed that the word tobacco is derived from "tobago", which was an Indian pipe. The tobago was Y-shaped, and usually consisted of a hollow, forked reed, the two prongs of which were fitted into the nostrils, the smoke being drawn from the tobacco placed in the end of the stem. The islands of Tobago, contrary to the belief of many, did not furnish the name for tobacco, but on the other hand, it was given that name by Columbus, owing to its resemblance in shape to the Indian pipe."
"While tobacco is now found growing in all inhabited countries, it is a native of the Americas and adjacent islands. Its discovery by civilized man was coincident with the discovery of this continent by Christopher Columbus in 1492. Columbus and his adventurous sailors found the native Indians using the weed on the explorer's first visit to the new world. Investigation has established that the plant was first used as a religious rite and gradually became a social habit among the natives. Columbus and his Castilian successors carried the weed to Spain. Sir Walter Raleigh took it to England; Jean Nicot, whose name is immortalized in nicotine, introduced it to the French; adventurous traders brought the seed to Turkey and Syria, and Spanish argosies carried it westward from Mexico to the Phillippines and thence to China and Japan. Thus, within two centuries after its discovery, tobacco was being cultivated in nearly every country and was being used by every race of men."
