Pipe Clubs in Central NY?

[pipingnate]

Just turned 18 the other day and looking to get into pipe smoking. The Internet is a great tool but nothing beats getting taught in person by someone...looking for a pipe club to join in the area. I'm over in Syracuse!

Welcome to the forum, it's good to have some young faces. I travel up thru Syracuse and unfortunately, I'm not familar with any pipe clubs in that region. Albany has a new club starting at Park Lane. Rochester may have a shop with a group, but I don't quite travel that far West in NY, so I haven't investigated that possibility.

Smoker's Haven in West Senneca is a nice pipe shop and usually has a bunch of pipers hanging around. They also make some very nice pipes.

We have a number of members from the Non-NYC regions of New York, hopefully someone will pipe up.
Get it?

You have no idea how much I love puns.

Gotta keep the hobby alive! Oddly enough my grandfather didn't smoke, father doesn't smoke, only person I "know" that smokes a pipe is revolving around the LotR saga...weird.

I'm not in the city frequent enough to attend any meetings or pay into dues. I go maybe once a year (would gladly stop in a join in smoking a bowl with them though!).

2 hours is quite the long drive...will definitely hit them up if I'm ever out near Buffalo visiting my cousin but otherwise far too far.
Thanks for everyone's feedback so far, excited to hear more! First tobacco blends should be getting in tomorrow, if not then definitely Monday. Never had much experience with tobacco so I hope I enjoy it.

I think you're out of luck for finding a pipe club anywhere around Syracuse. Maybe give "Rockys Cigars" a call and see if they have any information,,,or start one yourself. An ad in the Newtimes might stir up some interest.

Looking like I'll need to try and start one up. That'll be too much planning for the moment as I try to get into the hobby, attend classes and do the homework, work, and balance other hobbies. Who knows what summer shall bring...
