I recently returned from the Seattle Pipe Club's Annual Dinner & Auction held at Smokey Joe's in the Seattle area. As the guest speaker at their dinner I was overwhelmed by the organization of the event and the unbelievable hospitality they showed. There were about 50 people in attendance include a half dozen lady pipe smokers, and movers and shakers in the pipe world including four of the Guss brothers, tobacco guru Joe Lankford and pipe book author and Briar Books Press tobacciana book seller Gary Schrier.
Smokey Joe's itself is a cigar lounge and bar that is roomy, quaint and had a wonderfully professional wait staff that took care of our every need. The auction items included beautiful unsmoked handmade pipes by some of America's finest pipe makers including Lee Von Erck, Joe Skoda and Joe Nelson (Old Nellie).
The food was indescribably delicious. I can't even pronounce the names of some of the exotic fare served.
The Seattle Pipe Club absolutely rocks!
Best,
