Pipe Club Meeting: Regular Time, Regular Place - 4th Thursday of the Month
Members,
Our regular meeting will be at Pipeworld on Anderson this Thursday at 5 pm or slightly earlier, like usual. Join us and meet some new folks who have joined recently.
Location: Pipeworld Anderson, 2900 W Anderson Ln, Austin, TX 78757
Time: 5 PM
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:
Pipe restoration
Meers
Cobs
Regional Pipes (American, Danish, Italian, English)
Specific carver/factory (Pete’s, Savinelli, Briarworks)

Pipe Finishes (Rusticated, Sandblast, Smooth)

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