The Central Illinois Pipe Club started
Yesterday I visited with an old mentor and friend, Bart Ridings. We visited for a few hours and smoked a couple of bowls. This is rare event for me as there are not many pipers I know in the Pekin or Peoria area. Until we opened The Story Teller's Pipe, the best we could hope for were basic pouch pipe tobaccos. So, during my visit with Bart, we accidentally created the Central Illinois Pipe Club. Not that I haven't been busy lately with the store and distributors, but it seems now I'll be collaborating with Bart to get a pipe club going as well. I guess we're going to find out how many pipe smokers are in the region. Any pointers on establishing a pipe club would be most appreciated. - Sean

Social media presence is almost mandatory in this day and age. start a Facebook group and join every pipe forum possible and just get the word out. I happen to live in Indianapolis so while I’m not exactly central Illinois Peoria isn’t far from me. If you ever held meetups or anything of the sort I’d make it if i could.
