What a great time indeed! Around 4-6 friends and I get together a couple times a month and smoke and visit. 4 pipe smokers, 1 cigar smoker and a cigarette smoker (still trying to figure out who left the door open). We don’t have an indoor venue though. A pipe club would be great.There's a phrase for what HAPPENS at pipe club meetings:

Our club meets once a month and I enjoy every single meeting. We're very informal, just a bunch of folks getting together to share tobacco and stories.
Yeah it's been surprising to see how many of us are in WI.
But I think we're pretty spread out...
That makes three of us if you do not mind me joining you ; Pipeclub Connected In Silence.You and I would get along.
I've often said "I'd love to get out of the house and meet more people like me, but people like me don't get out of the house."
Looks like fun and a really nice shop! 
Hey for all you hobbits and hermits, take it from a guy that’s lived half his life on Gilligan’s Island, a little social interaction isn’t so bad, and even among those of the same likes; pipes...
Don’t hide away and miss out on life, I get it, all the reasons why we don’t hang out, but just REMEMBER, there are great people in this world!
I wish we had a nice/serious pipe shop out here, because I’ve been on this rock far to long, LOL
Social isolation and so called paradise isn’t all it’s cracked up to be! LOL
You lucky bastards!
Damm I’m starting to feel like Papillon out here! LOL
I better start rowing if I want to escape this island.

I agree.
When I had my own island (pic taken from one of my G700s... probably the red one), not having exactly the right year of Armand de Brignac on hand when that special urge struck---everyone knows that feeling, of course?---and then having to wait for it to be fetched definitely became tiresome after a while.
Be careful what you wish for. Island living can be tough.
Diogenes Pipe Club!
Mycroft would approve
Went trout fishing with 3 mates some time ago in Tasmania.
Wife wanted to know what we talked about all that time.
She professed not to understand when I replied that fishing was meant to be done in companionable silence
Alter ego????
This is 2022
I self-identify as the world's richest man. Nothing imaginary about it.
Just the other day I went into a bank, told them who I was, and when they disputed my identity by refusing to write me a cashier's check for ten million dollars, I went straight to a lawyer and sued them.
It's the way the world works, now.
Island Fever! Remedy: Fly to the mainland, rent a car, and drive as long & far as you can until it fades...Looks like fun and a really nice shop!

Kansas City sure looks different from the air!
It’s not island fever, I’m a Gypsy, I have to go travel for the rest of my retirement days. I can’t stand staying in one place for to long, and sitting here, raising a family, oh my gosh, someone please shoot me! LOL
So, I’m just sitting waiting on the Mrs to retire, then off overseas we go next.
That's why they invented boarding school!It’s not island fever, I’m a Gypsy, I have to go travel for the rest of my retirement days. I can’t stand staying in one place for to long, and sitting here, raising a family, oh my gosh, someone please shoot me! LOL

Just puff slowly and the time will pass and soon you'll be traveling again. Best Wishes!
