Central Florida?

[nathaniel]

agreed ck12... Central FL pipe Club anyone? I'm for it! Who's in?

 

[mike68]

Sounds cool! Maybe call ourselves the "Hurricane Alley" pipers or something?!? 8O

 

[nathaniel]

So no one else in on it? We could meet like once a month in Orlando(because it seems the most middle ground between Lake Mary, Lakeland, Ocala, Tampa, and the spacecoast)?? Anyone?

 

[wannafly34]

I'd be up for it!

 

[nathaniel]

Cool.. Well, I think that's four. Who else? Let's get this going! I could make flyers for the 3 B&M's around here, for them to pass out with every pipe related purchase. There is one in Titusville, Merritt Island, and I know of at least one in Orlando.

 

[nathaniel]

Awwww... no one else?

 

[ck12]

apparently its just me and you nathaniel.

 

[nathaniel]

apparently... along with wannafly34 and maybe mike 68?
It'd be cool to do something though. If we could find a place in Orlando or something to meet, then I could start having the B&M's hand out flyers with every related purchase like I said. Flyers with a time and place for the "initiation"
I don't know where we could meet though. I suppose it would have to be maybe a pub with an outside patio or something. But in this weather? I don't know if folks would be up for it.

 

[ck12]

Outside patio would be risky business because of the heat humidity and the every day unexpected thunderstorms that always roll through.

 

[nathaniel]

so very true... it's a dilemma that's to be sure. So any suggestions?

Of course there is also a pipe club in St. Augustine as well, I think.

 

[bclarke]

I'm in Orlando, down by Sea World.

 

[uberam3rica]

[bclarke]

as my grandpa isnt in the best of health
Sorry to hear that.

 

[number6]

I'm a little south of you guys in Palm Beach.
(and there is no Palm Beach pipe club either... )

 

[bclarke]

I am going to set aside Saturday, November 5, as a day to get together with whomever wants to. Don't know where or time, but I marked my calendar. Perhaps Edward's in Lakeland? Harry's in Oviedo?

 

[ck12]

Edwards in Tampa has a pipe club that meets every saturday i forget the time but it starts in the morning and goes for pretty much how ever long people would like to stick around for.

 

[bclarke]

That could be a start, anyone else still interested?

 

[nightmarejones]

I'm actually about an hour from Orlando,Tampa and Ocala...I'd be interested in getting together and/or doing a club thing.

 

[admin]

Sorry. I wasn't following this discussion for a while. I'd be up for a Tampa area club. I'll have to look into what goes on at Edwards so as not to duplicate efforts. There used to be a Tampa club run by a guy named Nick. I tried to contact him in the past, but he didn't get back to me. I have since found him on LinkedIn though.

I'm in Ft Lauderdale. Both Bennington's stores are great: one in sarasota the other in Boca Raton. There is also a pipe store called The Pipe Den in Vero Beach that has a lot of estate pipes and tobaccos. Bayview Tobacco in Ft Lauderdale is also a good choice when in the area.
