May 9th Pipe Club Meeting
April 29, 2024June 13th Pipe Club Meeting
May 25, 2024Join us for our 4th Thursday of the Month Pipe Club Meeting.
This meeting is our non-business related meeting at Pipeworld on Anderson Lane. The meeting space is smaller and because it's our second meeting of the month attendence can be less. But because of its location it captures a different segment of the Austin club members who are more opt to travel there than Habana House.
We meet at Pipeworld at 5pm or slightly earlier as time permits and stay until close.
Most club meetings are relaxed, though, and we're not voting on any primary topics.
Join the relaxed Austin atmosphere, where our members are laid-back and happy to share a bowl with you, chat, and educate.
These Thursday Meetings
are also where we may schedule trunk shows where a vendor may stop by with tobacco, pipes or both. We usually spend time talking to the distributors and resellers ahead of time and provide ample information and time to make sure you can schedule to attend.
"Attending a pipe club meeting is your chance to try out new tobaccos, see interesting pipes and get educated about the local pipe scene here in Austin Texas."
Education
One of the primary items that the Austin Pipe Club does is provide pipe education in the form of pre-planned seminars where newcomers can learn all there is to know about pipes and pipe tobacco.
Some examples of future seminars are:

Stem styles (push tenon, stinger, screw tenon, army mount, etc.)
Stem materials (Acrylic, vulcanite, horn, amber,etc.)
