Where Do Famous Pipe Hobbyists Hang Out?

[RustiePyles CPG]

They meet in hooded robed groups in underground caves and grottos that are lit by bundles of flaming Dr Grabows. They smoke 50 year escudo in gold plated Dunhills with George Dibos stems and and hold elaborate ceremonies to commune with the spirits of Bo Nordh and Sixten Ivarssen while worshiping at the altar of Alfred Dunhill.

Thanks for the thorough response.

First, I'd say there are plenty of well-known pipe smokers right here in front of you.

Agreed. I didn't mean to imply that all the cool kids where elsewhere, I was just curious about how those guys get their pipe talk fix.

Secondly, how do you know the folks listed are jonesing for pipe talk that can only be obtained through forum participation? Or that they aren't already participating, and we don't know as they are using a clever screen name? The only way to know is to ask them directly.

I actually assume that they aren't jonesing for pipe talk through forum participation as they aren't members here. But you’re right that some could be participating without being publicly known.

On another forum, I frequent a well-known individual (in this case a performer and small business owner) was an active participant, he didn't try to obscure his identity. Eventually, he was driven away by various trolls and folks who took issue with everything he posted. Maybe that tale sheds some light on why prominent folks don't frequent forums.

That’s a damn shame. Hope he was able to find a place (online or otherwise) to chat with folks where he was shown more respect.

But where is that place? I want to be a cultist too!

This is like middle school all over again

For some reason I read pipe smokers as pipe makers....Time for some new glasses or a new brain. Perhaps both.

You must find your own path, the journey will be long and arduous. You must first make your way to the subterranean rooms of 30 Duke St, St James, London. There you must choose the one pipe of Alfred Dunhill from thousands of pipes. IF you choose correctly you will be allowed to smoke from the pipe of Sir Walter Raleigh, if you are pure of heart and your smoke is dry and no dottle is left behind you will be given instructions to begin your journey. If you fail to choose the one pipe or moisten the pipe of SWR you will beaten severely on and about the head and body with one of Rich Essermans pipes. This is all I can tell you though, I may have said to much already. I must go now, I'm being watched.

Godspeed

This is indeed. A Tender situation

 

[jpmcwjr]

And the guys you inquired about are not "hobbyists". They are pros. Pipe shows and individual visits to like minded souls. And the occasional Zoom meeting....

 

[briarblues]

Rumor has it, that many of the well known "pipe celebrities" meet once per month, on Wednesday's on the dark side of the moon. I have been told that all who can make it are free to attend.......

 

[jguss]

I know, but I'm not telling...

Very wise. There’s a stela with the names of those who betrayed the confidence of the most illustrious members of our community engraved upon it; the list is long and includes Jimmy Hoffa, Judge Crater, and even the Roanoke Colony in its entirety.

And what unspeakable rites are performed before that altar? What shameful and bloody sacrifices made to eldritch horrors, remnants of an earlier and less wholesome age?

You really are out here spilling the secrets. You shall be the next sacrifice.

That's accurate. There are only a small number of cool kids. I think the number is hovering at around 27.

But I wouldn't know.

Even now the Vulcan Night Guard approaches, my safety no longer assured. I must away!

Point of order... There are several well-known pipe men here regularly on this forum. Just saying.
