    Metro Detroit group September Gathering

    Well, gents - June and July both flopped. With that in mind, and the fact that I had something going every Saturday in August, I did not try to call a get-together. Let's try to do something in September, on the 24th. Are folks' heads above water enough to try? Do we want to try one more park...

    Thank you shout out to Scrooge

    After starting my thread on Falcons and other metal stemmed pipes the other day,Scrooge very kindly sent me a message, offering me an estate Falcon, free. I sent him my shipping info, and not one but two arrived on Friday. Both had some Lane RR run through them on Friday, with no particular...

    Things haven't gone too well on our last 2 attempted gatherings. Let's hope July works better. I'm proposing July 30 at 1. Open to suggestions for a park. :)

    Falcons and such

    I read an article in the latest P&T mag about a young machinist who's started making metal-stemmed pipes. I vaguely recall having one as a new pipe smoker - probably not a Falcon, but an inexpensive variation on that theme. I'm intrigued enough to consider buying one. What's the pros and cons...

    Metro Detroit May gathering

    Since the last Saturday of the month is Memorial Day weekend, we'll have to gather a week earlier. Let's plan on Saturday, May 21, at 1 PM on Belle Isle. We'll get a table along the Strand so we can watch the boats on the river.

    What was the GL Pease offering in the 2015 Chicago Bowl

    I've been meaning to ask about this, but it has gotten away from me. Last year's Chicago Bowl competition was Virginias and Va/pers. After the winner was announced, I filled some baggies and made notes of names, like everyone else. I noted that the name of the GLP entrant - which I really...

    Metro Detroit February Gathering

    Shoot, forgot about this. Let's try Tobacco Rose on Feb 27th. What works best for time? I'd vote for 1 PM,myself.

    Metro Detroit Pipe Club January Gathering

    Forgot to do this earlier. Let's try Hill & Hill, on Mack Ave in Grosse Pointe Woods, on Jan 23rd. Does 1 PM sound good? That's close enough for me that I can be really flexible about time. :puffy:

    Army mounts

    I've always been intrigued by Army mounts, and am thinking seriously about getting one. I know Stanwell and Peterson make them; does anyone else? The Petes I saw at SP were all P-lips; my only experience with P-lips was not positive. Does Peterson make a fishtail Army mount? It wasn't clear from...

    Metro Detroit Pipe Club December Gathering

    This month why don't we head for JR in Southfield? Let's try the 19th. Do we want morning or afternoon?

    Metro Detroit Pipe Club November Road Trip

    Folks seem to be up for a trip to Paul's, and I certainly am. I have one Saturday in November where I'm not busy in the day time, and that's the 21st. Do we want to try to really get energetic and meet there around 10, and maybe grab lunch after, or should we go for an early afternoon slot? I...

    Metro Detroit Pipe Club October Gathering

    Let's get this out here now. We'll be attending the IASPC Event in Flint (OK, Swartz Creek) on October 24. There will be a pipe smoking contest and show. I am going to assume, absent other information, that the contest will involve using your own pipe, 2 grams of Paul's contest blend, and 2...

    Metro Detroit Pipe Club September Gahtering

    Let's start kicking this one around now,gents. Let's plan on the 26th. We agreed that we wanted to try to stay outside - where should we go? And do we want to try another morning slot, or go back to afternoons? Thoughts?

    Metro Detroit Pipe Club August Gathering

    I was looking at the calendar trying to figure out a date for this. I'm out of town the 22d,and have a conflict the 29th - grandson's birthday party, right smack dab at 2PM. Do we want to try a late morning gathering? Say, 10 AM on the 29th? Or do we want to try for Sunday, the 30th, at 2? We...

    Metro Detroit Pipe Club July Gathering

    Summer is hastening on - it seems to be time for a July get-together. Let's do Saturday, July 25, at 2 PM. I like the idea of gathering outdoors while the weather allows it. Anybody got any suggestions as to where?
