Denver Pipe Club

I'll have to catch up with all y'all in February, looks like - things just got complicated on my end...

Edward's Sunday @ 10 is certainly workable for me right now.

Just a heads up to say that I spent a wonderful morning with John, the owner of Prince Philips
He's a very knowledgable pipe smoker, been in the business since the early 1970's. He has been in his current space (8000 East Quincy Avenue Denver, CO 80237) since August. The space is very large with a wonderful open circle of chairs in the smokers area. The ventilation system is very efficient.
John has quite the collection of his own pipes, and a book case full of various pipe and tobacco related works. I think this would be a wonderful place to have a gathering of Denver area pipe-smokers.

I was just talking to an old workmate of mine who I got into pipes and he said he is in too

Excited to see more people are interested in getting together to smoke in Denver. I started The League of Denver Pipe Smokers several years ago. I know it's a far drive for many down south and the parking is annoying. Sadly, for Denver, it's really the only place left in town where you're allowed to smoke - the other being the bar at the Brown Palace which is also downtown. I think it would be great to have another club in Denver that meets farther south. You should definitely get it going. It would also be great to get together a few times a year as a more regional gathering - say once / quarter. If you get something going, please email me so we can keep in touch: senatorpetelarson@gmail.com

I know it's short notice, but I just got this email from the The League of Denver Pipe Smokers, they have a gathering tonight. I'm making every effort to attend, details below:

Spring is here and that means only one thing: It's time to enjoy a refreshing pipe smoke with good friends. Join us this Thursday night at Delaney's Irish Pub at 7:00pm. Bring a friend and enjoy pipes, good drinks, and great conversation.
The club meets at Delaney's Irish Pub at 1801 Blake St. in Denver and is open to anyone who enjoys pipe smoking or wants to learn. If you or a friend has never smoked a pipe, feel free to come and we’ll have pipes to loan and tobacco to try.
We hope to see you there.
Sincerely,

Pete and Dan Larson, Founders

Just wanted to say that I attended my first gathering of the League Pipe Club of Denver last night. A really great group of guys, friendly and welcoming. Even met a few folks from the forums. Delaney's was very accommodating, the seating comfortable, the service was solid.
Conversation went from what do you do, to what do you smoke. Topics of conversation were respectful and well thought out, and the opportunity to sit and smoke with other brothers of the briar was excellent. A hat tip to the Pete and Dan Larson for putting this group together. I will certainly be attending again in the future, and next time will bring multiple pipes and tobacco to share with the other attendees.

I'm glad that you enjoyed yourself Dave and look forward to many more shared bowls.

This may be a long shot... given the date this was posted, but does anyone still meet in or near Denver?
