Another great meeting of the minds at our monthly meeting at Sodie's Cigar & Pipe.

Spring is in the air, pipes were lit and great conversations. And a founding member, Greg Stromath, made his way back to attending meetings. Also, Lee Tarver was the lucky winner of our free pipe drawing, a bones pipe from Morgan Pipes.

Thanks for joining us for our monthly club meeting. A decision was reached to plan for our annual Pipe Swap, but with a slightly different twist. It'll be a less formal get together, with the opportunity to swap/buy/sell amongst members. But will also be screening the Father The Flame documentary and offering some educational opportunities for pipe enthusiasts. More details to follow. Sodie's Cigar & Pipe

Pipe Spotting and a great show.

Dick Van D**e, Rose Marie, and Morey Amsterdam are seen here on the set of The Dick Van D**e Show, a groundbreaking sitcom that combined clever writing, physical comedy, and unforgettable chemistry. Van D**e’s energetic charm, Rose Marie’s sharp wit, and Amsterdam’s comedic timing created a trio that defined television humor in the 1960s, bringing laughs to audiences week after week.

The show’s mix of workplace antics, family life, and memorable supporting characters helped make it a timeless classic, showcasing the talents of its cast in both scripted comedy and spontaneous, playful moments behind the scenes.

Which character or moment from The Dick Van D**e Show is your all-time favorite?

An article about the great pipe shop in Chicago, Iwan Ries

Maybe it’s the young people, maybe it’s the need to de-stress, but Chicago’s (and America’s) oldest tobacconist is doing more business in pipes these days.
