So today I've got a little time on my hands and tried to imagine a logo for New Zealand Briar Society. I hope I am not stepping on any toes :wink:

Here are some designs I made:

Which would you prefer?

Nice job on the artwork. Overall I like the last one the best, mostly because the fern is a bit smaller and doesn't compete with the pipe so much. By the way where abouts are you located?

2, 3 & 4 all look good! I’m in for a tee shirt! I’m down in Christchurch every 6 weeks usually on a week days. Maybe we can arrange a pipe club meeting.

Hi kiwiazz74, there are so few of us it may be an very small FB group. This forum is being upgraded this year I believe. Maybe it would be better to wait and see what the new forum page and features look like. Perhaps clubs could have sub-forum boards? Anyway after recent events in NZ I was thinking of chucking in my FB account. I am just about over all the negative BS that funnels into it.

Hey kiwiazz. That’s not a bad idea but there are only a few pipe smokers I know of, perhaps it would bring a few more out of the woodwork. If you are keen to then start a page up and see what happens, could be good to arrange meet-ups from time to time.

Great idea Kiwiazz.

I havent been using facebook anymore for the last 5 years or so but I agree it may attract more kiwi pipe smokers.

Charf, I think the forum will get update come June or something?
Anyway, as I am new in NZ, it is not actually illegal to smoke to smoke in public is it? This is only my second week in Chch and I always get strange looks everytime walking down the streets with my pipe clenched :D

Hi guys,

Does anyone have any experience ordering from smokingpipes.com to NZ?

I saw that their shipping option is quite cheap.

its not illegal to smoke in public but the PC brainwashed anti tobacco folk will throw stones at you for doing it.

i get looks as well i dont care, bugger them, i dare anyone to hassle me to my face about smoking i like to hassle back about alcohol, if i had as many drinks as ive had smokes id be fully dead.

Had to go to Thames yesterday to visit the in-laws. My 2 girls when for a walk up Main Street. At the vegan cafe they saw “an old guy” smoking a pipe with his coffee on their street side tables. They thought it was interesting so they stole a photo of home to show me. Prior to me pipe smoking they probably wouldn’t have noticed. Thought it was quite funny.

Hi NZ pipe smokers, what are you smoking?

Tonight I’m enjoying some C&D Bayou Night in a Savenelli 673.
