End of the Year Thoughts

Hello Indiana pipe smokers, and friends!

I wanted to touch base with everyone and recap a few things, as well as talk about the future.

We had a great turn out at our Holiday meet up in November with 20 in attendance, including 3 new faces. We had great conversations and shared some tobaccos. Our tin exchange was a great success and looking forward to spicing it up next year.

Our January meet up is set for January, 17th at Professional Smoke in Bargersville at 1 pm. As mentioned at our last meet up this will be a more formal meeting where we will vote on a few items as well as elections for board positions, if any are contested. More info on this will be sent out to individuals who are due paying club members.

At the last board meeting it was brought up that we have neglected the northern part of the state this past year. You can expect a couple more meet ups around Fort Wayne, and NW Indiana in 2026. If you know of a tobacco shop or smoking lounge, or a good place that is pipe friendly in those areas, shoot an email to indianapipeclub@gmail.com or fill out the contact info with a message.

Lastly, if you are a club member and have not yet joined our Discord, reach out for an invite link.

I hope you all have a great rest of the holiday season, and look forward to connecting in 2026.

Sweet Smokes,

Kirk Keener

Club President
