In a thread started a month ago, BulldogBriar mentioned seeing a man in the airport with a pipe in his mouth. Quickly the discussion turned to the idea of having an identifying token that would silently tell the world (and more importantly each other) that we smoke a pipe proudly. A lapel pin was suggested and I still think it’s a great idea.
Whether it is a Pipemagazine endorsement or just general pipe smoking, I think we should do it! We often joke about an individual marking a "member title" milestone by getting the not at all real congratulatory PM care package. This pin idea could be something real to mark the occasion. Kevin and the mod team worry not; I am not suggesting this be financed by the site. A lot of people on the aforementioned thread showed genuine interest and many stated that they would be willing buy a pin for themselves as would I.
So what do you think‽ Either way this is something I am going to do at least for myself although I would rather have 1 of 100s of the same kinship pin roaming the globe.
