Demuth's In Lancaster

[scottbtdmb]

Heading up to Lancaster, PA tomorrow for the weekend and want to visit the Demuth's Tobacco Shop, which is the oldest tobacco shop in the US. Have any of you been? Despite the shop mainly being a museum, I see that they do sell pipes and tobaccos, but my question is can you smoke inside? Any help would be appreciated.

As far as I know, it has been closed for a year or so.
Definitely don't miss Wingenroths in nearby Lebanon. Tell Mel that Al Jones sent you. Than, be amazed at the wall of tobacco tins.

Wow that will be a major bummer if they are closed. Their website doesn't mention anything about it. Unfortunately, that shop in Lebanon is about 45 min from where we will be hanging out and I doubt my girlfriend would want to go out of the way for a tobacco shop. Any outlets or strip malls near the shop, lol!?!?

I heard from a few PA folks on another board that the owner died last year and it closed. Some legal controversy, the shop is setting closed, but still fully stocked.

I also called the number on their website a few months ago and it was no longer in service.

Sorry...
