We’ll be discussing the upcoming International Pipe Smoking Day event on February 20th, as well as planning for the March meeting theme. All Pipe Smokers are welcome to join us! Just a reminder for the members attending the Kaywoodie Factory Tour this Saturday… If you don’t already have a club t-shirt, we still have some available for $5. You can pick one up at the Colonie store, they are in Scott’s office.
The next pipe club meeting is scheduled for February 03, 2010. Details of the meeting are being discussed in our forum, please visit this page to participate!
February 20th, 2010 is International Pipe Smoking Day, and we’re going to celebrate the event with a custom tobacco, and multi-media event at the Colonie Habana Premium Shoppe. The exclusive Habana Premium International Pipe Smoking Day 2010 blend is a mixture of Virginias, 5 different Orientals, Latakia and Perique for a complex and sophisticated medium Balkan blend. Members of the Capital District Pipe Club are attending the event to represent our Club’s support of this day, and to facilitate a club membership drive (of sorts). Live registration to this forum will be available throughout the event, as well as a slideshow of our past participation in pipe related events and conventions. Plan and/or discuss the in-store event in this thread of our forum.
The Capital District Pipe Club is going on another road trip, this time to Peekskill NY to visit S.M. Frank & Co. the manufacturers of the Kaywoodie, Yello-Bole and Medico brand lines of smoking pipes and accessories. On Saturday January 23rd, we’re meeting at the old Colonie store parking lot at 9:45am. We will carpool from there on a two hour drive. We’ll arrive in Peekskill just in time to have lunch at the factory before our tour. We’re looking forward to pipe making demonstrations, and learning more about the history of the Kaywoodie pipe. We’re thrilled to have this private tour arranged for us, and look forward to posting pictures and what are sure to be fun filled stories. Stay tuned! If you have any questions regarding the trip, call 518-690-2222 and ask for Russ… or use the contact form here. On December 2nd, the Capital District Pipe Club gathered at the old location in Colonie for the last time. The store had already moved to the new location (1645 Central Ave), so we had the entire place to ourselves, which was a nice way to end the year. A couple of new members joined us for the holiday get-together, and Hans even wore a Christmas hat! The food was incredible, and there was more than enough for everyone to fill themselves! The cheesecake with chocolate crust made more than one member’s holiday. Larry Loerzel received the “Pipe Man of the Year” award. The plaque presented by Scott was a very nice touch, and really set the mood for the party. Russ Ouellette brought a new tobacco to sample, and it was a huge hit! A good time was had by all. Below are just a few pics, the rest have been posted in the gallery under Holiday Dinner 2009. Below, find our year in pictures! Plans for 2010The start of the New Year brings with it some exciting plans for the Pipe Club. International Pipe Smoking Day is just around the corner, and we’ll be making plans for the celebration of the pipe smoking hobby at our January meeting so don’t miss it! (See the calendar on the forum for more details.) We’re going on a road trip to the Kaywoodie Factory in late January! A tour of the facility, and lunch with the Kaywoodie crowd should make for a fun and interesting Saturday afternoon. Learn more at the January meeting, or visit the forum! Our Holiday Dinner will be held at the old store location on Central Avenue, giving our members more parking, and the upstairs lounge & kitchen. See you there at 6:30pm on December 2nd! For a bit of added fun, bring whichever pipe tobacco reminds you most of the holidays… we had some Egg Nog the other night, and it really brought the holiday season into the house! Old store location: 1537 Central Ave [ map ] Reminder: Tinsky Pipe of the Year pipes are in, if you ordered one, be prepared to pick it up!
 Join us at the new location on December 2nd at 6:30pm! Just a reminder that this year’s holiday dinner is being held at the New Habana Premium Cigar Shoppe located at 1645 Central Ave (formerly Tri-City Luggage). We’ll be gathering for a pot luck dinner at 6:30pm, with everyone bringing something to surprise us with to add to the buffet table. Pipe of the Year Pick UpIf you ordered a pipe of the year, hand carved by Tinsky… they’re here! Be prepared to pick up your Capital District Pipe Club pipe. Call Russ O. with any questions regarding picking up your pipe 518-690-2222.
Russ Ouellette, our in-house tobacconist was on hand, with three new tobacco blends to sample. “Steamroller” was the overall most popular with a mix of yellow Virginias, Perique, and Burleys. There was a pleasant blend of pipe smoke throughout the store as people strolled around the tables taking in all that was on display. Our webmaster was on hand, posting pictures to Twitter as the event was going on. While there, we were able to register a few new members to the Pipe Club and registered them to our forum on the spot. If you haven’t yet visited our Smoker’s community forum, make sure to stop by and join in our discussions.
