A Better Pipe Smoking Community

Below is an excerpt of part of the member charter of my local pipe smoking club. It sums up the heart behind why my friends and I smoke pipes:

That’s why dudes gathering together for a period of time with no agenda other than meaningful conversation, pipes, and friendship is one of the most glorious and beneficial acts of the human soul. as the book, “The Social Pipe” states, “The pipe draws wisdom from the lips of the philosopher, and shuts up the mouth of the foolish; it generates a style of conversation, contemplative, thoughtful, benevolent, and unaffected.” the sweet fragrance of a burning pipe is a gift to all who are near. it is good for the soul.

To that I must say amen!  Keep smoking.
