Amoung our members are pipemakers, shop owners, estate pipe dealers, serious collectors and pipesmokers. Meeting nights are social events with pipes sold, bought, traded and more importantly smoked. Many tobaccoes can be sampled and purchased. The informal discussions can include pipemaking methods & materials, tobacco blends, pipemakers, new acquistions and more. Members show their newly acquired pipes and the old favorites, including some one of kind pipes. Pipe brands enjoyed by our members include, Dunhill, Charatan, Connoisseur, Peterson, Bonaquisti, Kaywoodie, Cristiano and more. Many of our members go to the Pipe Shows as exhibitors and consumers. Regular stops by members includes the New York Pipe Show in Newark, NJ; C.O.R.P.S show in Richmond, VA; NASPC show in Columbus, OH and the CPCC show in Chicago, IL. (See Shows link at right)

Our membership is somewhere around 20-25. We get anywhere from 8-15 on meeting nights. We have no dues or fees. Our meetings are open to anyone who is interested and newcomers are always made to feel welcome. So if you are interested in stopping by, contact us and we'll add you to the mailing list. About a week before the meeting we send out an email regarding the time and place.

For now, relax, pull out your favorite briar, packed with your favorite tobacco and enjoy the rest of our site.
