I have been a lone wolf smoker since picking up the pipe a year ago. That has more or less been a personal choice as there is a group that meets at a downtown Denver cigar bar, Delaney's, on the second Thursday of every month. Well, for the first time next week I'm going to make it out for my first meet up.
I talk every now and then with a local tattoo artist who will be there and I finally met in person a few weeks back at the Denver Comic Con, so I won't be without somebody to help introduce me to the group.
I plan on taking some tobacco with me to swap and also to give away as some blends aren't to my liking anymore. Do people usually bring a few pipes to these things? Are people usually pretty friendly with the younger pipe smokers in person? I'm 28, but am usually told I look younger than that. Everyone here is friendly and accommodating, but that can be different from face-to-face interaction as I have found at a local B&M where the older pipe smokers largely ignored me as if I was intruding on their territory.
