Hi,

The parade starts at 13:00 and should wrap up by 15:00. After the parade, we will meet at the Rose and Thistle for the March meeting.

82nd Pipe & Tobacco and Lane Ltd. will be hosting a tobacco blending event on March 11th.  Please see the attached flyer below for more details, there is no cost to participate.  Hope to see you there!

Come one and all.

A reminder: Mick McCormick would like any interested pipesters to take part in the St. Patrick’s Day parade next month. This is an opportunity to generate positive PR and remind folks that pipe smokers walk among us.

Club meerschaum tampers will be available at December’s meeting.  There are a few different designs, first come first serve.  Tampers are free for paying club members.

At November’s meeting we held our First Annual Steve Books Slow Smoke Contest. Congratulations to Mark who finished first with time of 42 minutes and 47 seconds.

We had an impromptu seminar on re-waxing last weekend. Thanks to Micah for hosting the event.

Five of us gathered to practice this necessary step to maintaining and coloring your meerschaums.

In light of that. let’s plan to bring our meerschaums to the November meeting. The cooler weather will be perfect for enjoying them.
