Frederick (MD) Pipe Club

Several of us Maryland members are getting together in Frederick, MD at "Quartermasters Cigars" for the first pipe club meeting on 11/18 at 7 PM. If you are in the area, give me a shout. Meeting will be on the 2nd Tuesday of the month. I stopped by the shop this morning, it's quite lavish. They have a decent tin selection with more to come.

The owners have pretty deep pockets it appears. My buddy, (the guy in the picture, from the PipeSmokersForums) says the place is packed on Sat/Sunday during football and up to 50 smokers a night during the week.

Nope Archi77 from the PSF. I don't know a Woody. I don't think many folks are bouncing Archi's face off a knee...(he's a big cat!)

The club organizer sent out a information email today about the club and first meeting:
Hello to all,

My name is Mark and for many years I have trekked many miles every month to attend pipe club meetings. Because of this, in the back of my mind I have had an idea of starting a Frederick Pipe Club here in my own back yard, for that same many years. Well, now, I finally have the avenue/location to pursue it, thanks to Ed and Quartermaster. You are getting this email because you have in one way or another expressed the same desire. So I am trying to make a go of this and see where it goes.
The Frederick Pipe Club will hold it's first meeting:

When - 7pm-9pm Tuesday evening 18Nov2014

Where - Quartermaster Cigars,

880 N East St, Frederick, MD 21701
Two things I ask you to think about before the meeting:

1 - Food. I ask that people give me feed back on this ASAP. I was thinking of either picking up some pizza or something else and people kick in money when they get there or just have everyone pick something up for themselves for the first meeting and we can discuss for the future meetings.

2 - What kind of Pipe Club are you looking for? Meaning are you looking for a formal structured pipe club with dues with the meetings centering only around pipes and tobaccos with presentations and such, or are you looking for this to lean more to the social type club where a bunch pipe guys get together and smoke their pipes and share tobaccos and talk about the latest in their pipe world. Or maybe something in between. I have my idea as to how I would like this club to go but would like input, as this will not be my club, but our club.

Well, I look forward to your feed back.

Thanks,

Mark

@brass: Mark didn't post that, it came thru my email and I thought that I would share. Dip a line in Hunting Creek, and then shoot down to the club meeting when it gets dark (15 minutes from Catoctin Park)

the first meeting is tonight

We had an excellent first meeting, with 15 members in attendance. I met a couple of guys from other forums and the PipeSmokersForums2 Facebook group. One member rec'd some GBD Churchwardens and gifted one to me.
