I finally made it out to my first meet up of The League Pipe Club (Denver, CO) at Delaney's Cigar Bar. I ended up being the first one there as I arrived about a quarter to 7 when it was scheduled. My time alone didn't last long as fellow forum member @Troutface showed up a few minutes later. He and I sat down and chatted for a bit before others showed up, one of whom I had talked to through the FB page Pipe Smokers Club.
We all drank, ate and talked pipes and tobacco. We touched on cellaring, aging, different blends, legislation/taxation, @Harris' flake cellar, meter maids, local sports, tattoos, hobbies, etc. I think all 8 of us had a good time hanging out, packing pipes and smoking.
I brought along my Mitchell Thomas 7" semi churchwarden, Savinelli Oscar 413KS, T Polinski XXL Poker and the new Calabash. Everyone liked the calabash, took a look at it and asked plenty of questions. I was the lone representative of VAs with Three Nuns and Escudo. Everyone else brought aros or English. I sampled some Frog Morton Cellar, Sutliff Charlemagne and also some of Trouface's McLelland's 3 Oaks Syrian.
I think a good time was had by all as we smoked, chatted, drank and ate.
I'll for sure try to get back out again and hopefully become a regular face. It was a good experience overall getting to share in the camaraderie of blowing smoke together.
