Dayton Area Pipe Meet-Up

[philobeddoe]

Hello all,

I am trying to put together a regular pipe smoking meet-up, one evening a month at the Wharf tobacco shop in Dayton, Ohio. I have spoken to the owner Ron and to the manager Jeff and they were both very enthusiastic about the idea. I know there are quite a few members here from Dayton and the surrounding area. I live about an hour away in eastern Indiana. This will be a relaxed atmosphere where all kinds of pipes and tobaccos are welcome. The Wharf has a well appointed smoking room where we can relax, smoke and shoot the breeze. Alcohol is permitted but not sold there, so if you want to drink you need to bring your own. If you've never been to the Wharf, they carry a nice selection of tinned tobaccos and about two dozen or so bulk tobaccos. They also carry quite a nice selection of pipes, with plenty of briars, meerschaums and cobs to choose from. I would like this to be a regular monthly event and if we get enough people maybe we can form a Dayton area pipe club. Please comment on which day of the week works best for you.
Thank you,

Philobeddoe

I would give it a go philobeddoe. There's a group meeting once a month at The Stogie Smoke Shop in Huber Heights. It would be good to get them involved. The only way I know about that group is a member on the forum @Dan posted something about it in the past. I'm yet to attend one of their meetings. It doesn't matter to me what night is chosen to meet up. I'm open, but would probably pick a evening earlier in the week because it can get crowded now that the lounge is finished.

The only night that doesn't work for me, would be the second Wednesday of the month, as my Fly Fishing club meets that night.

 

[philobeddoe]

Bump for Sunday.

I visit Beavercreek occasionally for business, and always hit the Wharf! I'll try to sync to your schedule...I got my boss smoking a pipe,too so I'll be cleared to put it on the agenda

Id love to meet-up with ya'll but Im in W. Texas, you are so lucky

 

[philobeddoe]

Pagan...it's just a hop, skip and a jump to Dayton from West Texas. Hell, you could be here in a mere 20 hours or so! We'll keep a chair open for you!

 

[philobeddoe]

Still hoping to find any fellow pipe smokers from the greater Dayton area.

Wish there was a pipe club I was aware of when I lived in Dayton in the early '90s. Maybe I wouldn't have spent those years smoking Bugler and Drum RYO out of a pipe.

Good luck in getting something together.

A pipe meet-up sounds like an awesome idea ... I wish there was one close to me.
In fact, it sounds like "A real nice way to spend a day in Dayton, Ohio, on a lazy sunday afternoon..."
Sorry, couldn't resist :D

I'm still looking for any fellow pipe smokers to share a bowl or two with that live in the greater Dayton area.

You might ask the owner of the B&M to send out an email. And, if you add that it is cigar friendly for those who are pipe-curious, you'll get a lot bigger turn out, and possibly turn some guys on to pipes. Have him order a few cobs to sell to those who may want to try it out.

 

[philobeddoe]

The Wharf does carry cobs, quite a few actually and they have a good sized lounge that is indeed cigar friendly and they have a cigar club gathering every Thursday evening.

Hello all, I'm still looking for fellow pipe puffers from the greater Dayton area, I promise not to bite!

Hello Everyone,
First and foremost, I want to give a shout out to philobeddoe for starting this thread and keeping up on it. I know it isn't an easy task, and we all appreciate it. I hopefully have something that will interest guys in the Dayton area looking for a meet up. The Wharf in Beavercreek is starting a pipe club, and the kick off event is this Monday, November 7th, from 3-9. They will have a rep from Laudisi in to show off Savinelli Autographs and other LDG products. There will be a pipe smoking contest that they hope to live stream on facebook. They will be offering a discount for that night on certain products, and will also be offering permanent discounts on pipes and tinned tobaccos for the guys who sign up for their pipe club. The pipe club will have monthly meet ups at the store as well as other cool kick backs for members. Here is the link to the email that was sent out about the event - http://eepurl.com/cmh3Zv . Hopefully I'll see some of you guys out at the event. Feel free to reply or message me with any questions.
Thanks all and happy smoking!

Sounds good. I'll stop by sometime after work.

 

[philobeddoe]

I wish I was free on Monday, but I have a commitment I cannot miss, looking forward to the next meeting though.

 

[bluegrassbrian]

Sounds like fun..hope you get a good turnout.

I like Dayton..usta go there for volleyball tournaments when I played.

Plus, it's home to my favorite twins, Kim and Kelley Deal

Kim and Kelley Deal

They're good people. I never knew either of them well, but hung out with Kim a couple times and took pictures of them both at various shows. Kelley once when she played with The Frogs and Kim when she was doing Tammy & The Amps.
