Myself and one of the gents at the area tobacco shop have talked about starting a pipe club off and on for a while now. Any time we run into one another at the store we spend at least an hour talking about a pipe club but not really planning anything out.

So my question to those of you in a club is this... What are some of the things that your clubs do to keep members interested? Aside from smoking pipes...

I've had a few ideas about different topics to discuss and such but I'm open to any ideas. The more I've thought about this the better I like the idea. Even if it is just a small club it would be very interesting to get to meet others in the area that enjoy a good smoke.

The problem for many of us...

...is having a place to meet where smoking is allowed. The Green Bay, Wisconsin club will be out of business on July 6th, 2010 when the State-Wide Smoking Ban becomes effective. Simply put, the law makes no exception for private party smoking in "any Public Place!

Ugh...

Sorry to hear that...

Ohio law makes it legal for establishments that sell tobacco to allow smoking. (i.e. you can still smoke in a tobacco shop.) Many of the shops here even have lounge areas where you can pay a small fee or a monthly membership to smoke. Which is great for me because in the winter if I want a cigar I'm out in the cold or at the tobacco shop. Thats the one thing the wife won't let me smoke in the house.

Try...

Try tobacco exchanges, on a small scale (passing a peace pipe).
Field trips to local wineries with outdoor areas that allow smoking. Summer canoe outings. Visits to each others homes. Pot luck dinners with the SOs involved. Descend upon a local soccer match (the kids are such fun to watch), and it is ALWAYS held out of doors. Visits to the local park for a bonfire. Fishing tournaments. Good luck!
