Printed Pipe Magazine?

[zonomo]

I am curious as to why there is not a mainstream Pipe magazine similar to Cigar Aficionado. Or is there one but I just don't know about it. Sometimes I'd like to read stuff on the plane.

The NASPC puts out a publication every two months that has good articles and information. The dues are $18 a year in the US. Dues are a bit higher for other countries due to higher postage.

I hope this helps you.

There is also Pipes and Tobacco magazine.

I am new here and yes there should be a printer version of this lovely magazine.

I would buy it for sure

I'm a subscriber to both the NASPC newsletter and P&T magazine. They are both absolutely worth the money, but if a person is looking for a glossy, traditional magazine, I say definitely go for P&T (pt-magazine.com).

Pipes and Tobacco is an excellent magazine. It is not, happily, a "lifestyle" magazine - you will not find articles about golf, gambling, collectibles, fancy hotels, expensive cars, expensive booze, etc, etc, etc. It is not trying to be GQ or Esquire or Playboy.

It's about - wait for it - pipes and tobacco. (OK, some stuff about accessories, too.) ::

+1 for the NASPC newsletter "The Pipe Collector". I get an electronic membership and they send me the wonderful newsletter in PDF. Dues are $10/year, the best pipe bargain out there. A years worth of back issues is $5 for members. I just printed the 2011 year and will read them over the winter months. Each issue is around 40 pages and chock full of interesting articles.

The only downside is the way the newsletter is formatted and in PDF, it cannot easily be converted to read on my Kindle.
