NEXT MEETING

WHEN:  Wednesday March 12th

Bloody hell!  It's almost springtime in the NW.  You know what that means?  Perfect Plum Pudding smoking season.  But I digress.  This month we'll be celebrating St Paddy's Day in grand style. 

PETERSEN PIPE SALE NIGHT!  

Last summer we received a generous donation of some FANTASTIC Petersen pipes.  All unsmoked and with their original boxes & sleeves. 
At least 20+ pipes.  Petersen's are world famous for being some of the best made and best smoking pipes you can buy. 

We'll be putting them up for sale with a dealer for the Club's benefit.  But before we do, we'll offer them up at wholesale prices to Seattle Pipe Club members at this month 's meeting.  Cash, checks,PayPal and Venmo accepted.  (Sorry, no credit cards. Purchases mustbe made in-person only .)

So if you want a smokin' deal on the most Irish pipe there ever was, don't miss the March meeting and go home with a gorgeous Petersen pipe.

  But wait!  There's more:  I will bring my copy of Ben Rapaport's excellent new book THE WIDE WORLD OF WOOD TOBACCO PIPES for you to peruse and order your own copy while they're still available. 

Come out of the cold and into the warm embrace of your Seattle Pipe Club family for a few hours of pipes, tobacco, fellowship and cheer.   We've been overflowing with new folks and we love it.  The Club is growing again.  Bring a friend this month and share the love & pipe smoke!


So come to our monthly meeting where we talk pipes, smoke them, argue about tobacco and all the finer things in life.  Imbibe a frosty adult beverage and a good meal while you're at it.  Be sure to show up and relax with your friends & pipe -- there's nothing quite like it.

23rd Annual Slow Smoke Contest

November 13th 7-9 pm

To the Slowest Goes the Victory! 

And this year was no exception.  Mike Bergstom (left) zoned out to win the contest with a time of 55 minutes and 56 seconds.  He beat out contenders, Craig Wattness and Tom Wolfe by over 5 minutes. 

After collecting his trophy, Mike commented that he was disappointed not to have made the one hour mark.  He went over that during this year's World Cup slow smoke when he went 1 hour 13 minutes and 10 seconds.  This is his 4th SPC victory in a row.






A total of 12 contestants participated in the event, with even the lowliest competitors making a respectable time of over 22 minutes.  (We usually have a couple of people bowing out before the 15 minute mark.

Broken Pipe...  
I have very sad news to report.  Roni Moorhead, our dear brother in the club, passed away in November after a brief but devastating illness.   Roni was always a larger than life guy with a big laugh, enviable beard and warm companionship for all who knew him.  None of us are here for very long, but our friend Roni certainly wasn't here long enough.  Roni is survived by his beloved husband Chris Moorhead.  Services will be in the springtime.
