Oklahoma Pipe Smokers Union
I decided to do it. I have contacted the Single Malt Society, The Cigar Aficionados and one other I cant think of right yet, with ideas and question and all have expressed interest in the OPSU.
The shop will back Me and the OPSU fully making the smoke lounge available for get togethers and tobacco for tastings....I am working some issues but I hope to be up and running by late August.
anyone want to join....membership isnt limited to Oklahoma....
no cost at all.
it the Pipe Smokers League.....
That you were not a union man through and through. ;-)
Like my opinion matters here in RI? Like I said its not like I'm going to drive down for weekly meetings! LOL.
Jim ... me and unions ... ouch ... bad experiences.

to drive down.....just support us from a far......
and how would one do that?

by offering advice and knowledge sir.
yes keep me posted.
All this talks of pipe clubs is really getting me fired up. There is a larger club an hour south of me and a smaller one 20 minutes away in the college town of Mount Pleasant (home of the Central Michigan University Chippewa's).
I may just have to pay them a visit.

The neat thing about this group is that their founding member is Paul Spaniola - 6 time World Champion Pipe Smoker and the owner of Paul's Pipe Shop and Pipe Hospital.

I've visited the place once last year, spent 3 hours there, and could have spent 5 more!
It's just like I'd expect an old time pipe store to be. Chock full of pipes from Grabows to Dunhills, old time feel, pipe museum on the top floor.
A really neat family owned place.
I believe Paul is in his mid 90's now, but they say he still stops by the store all the time.
Small world, huh?

with you club or Union(I like that-I'm a retired building trades union member) or what ever you name it! Wish there was one in my area! I sometimes think I'm the only pipe smoker in Butler County MO. Nearest B&M that I know of is about 100 miles from here in Cape Girardeau.

I am sooooooooo anti-union ... nope I'd never go just because of the name. Not that it matters though. I think its more than an hour's drive from RI to your meetings. LOL.
