Michigan Pipe Smokers
Went to Paul's (after Crêpes of course) to stock up on some favorite blends and grabbed a few new ones to try. Also took advantage of their 25% off all pipes sale with a NOS Kaywoodie 32c Silhouette and a used Karl Erik. Both pipes that break the mold of my current collection of traditional...- CaptJ

Michigan Pipe Smokers
The car enthusiast club at Kettering did some races at the Clio location that I participated in. I've also been to the Full Throttle Adrenaline Parks in Novi (Formally JD Racing), and Sterling Heights (used to be Kart2Kart). I also went and saw some races at I think it was Flat Rock Speedway...- CaptJ

Michigan Pipe Smokers
Never really been into ball sports. Although if there is food or friends, I'll sometimes join in. A Wolverine fan simply because a Kettering friend who is a huge college football fan told me they were who I should cheer for. Also the only college football stadium I've ever been to. If I'm...- CaptJ

Michigan Pipe Smokers
It is The Flint Crepe Co down the street from Paul's. I had a brief brief stint of working there while they were a food cart during college. Have an acquaintance with the owners as well. Maybe biased a bit but I think they are good (although I can't say I have had many other crêpes to compare...- CaptJ

Michigan Pipe Smokers
Ugh. I was told about a year ago there was some discussion they might have to move. I didn't realize how related it was to the buildings on their sides. Also sad to hear there is no clear plan for continuation. Hopefully someone comes along who has the passion/money to make it happen. Reminds...- CaptJ

***What Are You Smoking, March 2023?***
Been enjoying some Balkan Royale from Campbell's out of an estate Cayuga from Paul's. I believe it would be considered a straight pot shape. Also some oolong "french toast" tea. Seems to be a decent pairing.- CaptJ

Cats & Pipes
This is Zoey (taking a selfie, or so it looks). A college friend and I found her as a scared kitten in our backyard 11ish years ago. The kind cat lady next door actually succeeded in catching her. About the same time she also had found another kitten at work. Long story short we got both of...- CaptJ

What is Appealing about Pipe Smoking?
For me the initial attraction was its association with gentleman of old, real and fictional, who were intelligent thinkers and writers. I also just like things of bygone eras. (Antique shops are museums where one can often afford to buy something they like but I digress.) It also completely...- CaptJ

Michigan Pipe Smokers
Thanks for the thread tag! Not originally a Michigander myself. Spent most of my childhood in Northern IL (Not Chicago. Although being the 2nd or 3rd to last stop on the Metra, still a city suburb, though distant). Went college in MI though and got a job here post college and been doing my best...- CaptJ

Hello From SE MI
Hello fellow pipe smokers. I have been lurking and reading for a while but realized I might occasionally want to contribute or ask questions and it seemed silly I hadn't made an account yet. So here I am! I was introduced to the pipe by a friend at college in 2007. Conveniently my college was...- CaptJ
