Green Bay, Wisconsin, Meetup?

[Home Brewing Piper]

I love the Frog and Toad. I had no idea you were right next door.

 

[Commander McBragg]

Yeah. Any time you or anyone wants a pipe with me, you’re always welcome

A long hike in Door County to a pipe-friendly fire side would be a bucket list item for me. I've been trying to re-create an American version of The Kearvaig Pipe Club for years now

I’m in Door County. I have a neat little English pub I built called the frog and toad we could do a meet up in? I’m Old Man Things in the YTPC

I’m game for that. Whereabouts in Door County?

 

[Singularis]

It's my fault for living in the boondocks! ;-)

I like Prohibition a lot. Appreciate your thoughtfulness though.

One other possibility would be an outdoor venue, of course.

Either way, I know another pipe smoker up here (who is not a forum member) whom I may bring along this next time.

I’d be happy to do a pipe club meetup on a Friday or Saturday in September.

I’m in sturgeon bay. Fridays work best for me.

Don't schedule on my account, but there's a chance I could get across the state on the 13th or 20th if that's when this comes together for the majority of you.

@Commander McBragg I rarely watch anything pipe related on YT, but since my family and I semi-frequently visit Door County, I thought that I'd look you up just now. Wow! Extremely impressive job on that shed!

I spent some time walking in the Yorkshire Dales, years ago, and you seem to have nailed it.

I'm up in Niagara, but would try to make any meet up that you all put on the calendar. My life involves several pertinent moving parts (including that I typically work on Saturdays, and would prefer to schedule a Saturday off if I were going to spend a Friday night that far away), so let me know as soon as possible what date you land on.

@SBC i don’t have any dates set. Just if a group of pipe smokers wanted to set something up in my area at all I will be happy to host.

Thanks so much for the kind words. Oh I bet that was fantastic in Yorkshire. I have been to England many times but never that far north.

@SBC did I sell a bunch of pipes to you a few years ago? Seems like you look really familiar. just curious.

Is that you!? Haha, amazing -- yes, I know right where you live then!

I gave some of those to some newly budding pipe smokers to help them get started, but I saved a certain unmarked prince shape that I was especially fond of -- it always smokes particularly well!

As I recall you were giving up pipes due to an incompatibility with a medication? Has that been resolved?

I see that I mentioned it here:

Show Your Best Unknown Maker Pipes :: Pipes: Show Us Your (fill in the blank) Pipes

Over the years I have found several nice pipes that were non branded. Obviously not seconds with fills or void of grain. Shown are two smooth stamped straight grain made in England. Maybe just did not sell well from high end makers and sold bulk for shop brands ? Top smooth has a oval bore ...

Yes. I changed meds and was able to smoke again. But nothing too strong
