DEADLINE FOR MASTER OF PIPES NOMINATIONS EXTENDED TO DEC. 31
Pipes and tobaccos magazine is again this year pleased to join the Chicagoland Pipe Collectors Club (CPCC) and the Doctors of Pipes in sponsoring the annual Master of Pipes awards, to be presented at the CPCC cigar dinner of the Chicagoland Pipe & Tobacciana Show on May 5, 2018.
The title Master of Pipes, first conferred at the 2017 Chicago show, is an annual recognition of select pipe smokers and members of the tobacco industry who have contributed significantly to our hobby but who have not yet been active in the pipe community for 20 years or more (a requirement for the Doctor of Pipes award). The first Masters of Pipes named were David Shain and Sykes Wilford.
Qualifications for the Master of Pipes award are the same as those for the Doctor of Pipes award except the service requirement is reduced to seven years and an age cutoff is stipulated to encourage younger pipe activists, who are an increasingly important part of our community. Therefore, the Master of Pipes is open only to individuals who are 45 years old or younger as of Jan. 1 of the year of the award.
New Masters of Pipes are elected by current Doctors of Pipes. P&T magazine will serve as the front line for receiving nominations to be considered.
Readers are encouraged to submit nominations, in accordance with the following rules:
• Master of Pipes nominees must have at least seven demonstrable years in the hobby and/or the industry.
• Nominees must prove their age will be 45 years or less as of Jan. 1, 2018.
• Nominees must be engaged in activities that promote pipes/pipe tobacco and support the pipe community.
• Individuals may not nominate themselves, although cooperation in the process will be necessary by both submitters and candidates.
• As with the Doctor of Pipes award, two Masters of Pipes will be conferred. One will be in the industry category, for people working in pipes — retail, manufacturing, distribution, photography, publishing — anything that earns the nominee a living within the pipe community. The other Master of Pipes award will encompass hobbyists.
• As previously stated, recipients will be awarded at the CPCC cigar dinner during the Chicagoland Pipe & Tobacciana Show on May 5, 2018. Please note that attendance is mandatory.
• A committee chosen by P&T magazine will review nominations and submit five to the Doctors of Pipes, who will review the candidates’ qualifications and choose the winners.
• At the show, each winner will receive a framed certificate and a lapel pin indicating his or her selection as a Master of Pipes.
• A Master of Pipes is eligible for a Doctor of Pipes award in the future.
To nominate a deserving pipe smoker, please send a letter listing the nominee’s qualifications. Include his or her contact information (telephone number and email address required), birth date and the length of time the person has been active in the hobby. Send nominations to:
Remember to write the nomination honestly and to the full advantage of the candidate, including the person’s contributions to the hobby. This is what will primarily be used to judge acceptability, so please be thorough. Nominations that do not include contact information (both email and telephone number) for both the submitter and the candidate will be disregarded. We will research the candidates and find the best five that we can to forward to the Doctors for final selection. Nominations must be received on or before Sunday, Dec. 31, 2017. Please forward questions via email to William C. Nelson, wcn@pipesandtobaccosmagazine.com.
The award will be covered in the pages of P&T magazine, including photos of the winners. If possible, the new Masters of Pipes will be featured on the cover of the magazine (dependent, among other factors, upon the photogenic charms of the people involved).
@Winton I don't qualify, but I do have an idea of a highly deserving individual. I need to do a little more research to see if they meet all the qualifications. I'll send you a direct message with more info
The UPCA National Pipe Smoking Contest is going to happen in the Smoking Tent on Sunday May 6th at 1:00! A picture of the contest pipe is on their website. Full details have not been posted yet. I have already registered and paid!
I'm going! And I'm very excited about it already! But, I have a question. What is the Friday "Swap and Smoke?" Is that open to the public? Is it the only time you can buy stuff? Should I hustle from the airport to get there?
The official show is on Saturday & Sunday. That is in the Megacenter of Pheasant Run. Vendors pay a fee for these table.
The Friday "Swap and Smoke" will be in the smoking tent. People can sell their pipes and related items for free. People start lining up for this event EARLY. This continues all morning and afternoon. Lets say that the tent becomes loud, crowded, and very fragrant. There are lots of pipes and cash that changes hands there.
Today, I am announcing that the Chicago Bowl will be flake tobacco with latakia! This could be a coin, regular flake, or broken flake. There will be several blends, without labels, available for tasting. Vote for the one you enjoy the most. Saturday afternoon the voting will be completed and later we will announce the winner by the popular vote.
In future years, we plan on exploring Virginia and Vaper flakes. If you have not tried a flake, do a search on YouTube for flake preparation. There are lots of ways to smoke a flake.

Smokingpipes published a story about the last pipe that Lars Ivarsson made, before he died. This has been donated to the silent auction for the Chicago Pipe Show. The link is below. We would like to thank the Ivarsson family for their support and generosity.
Yesterday, the Chicago Pipe Show opened! The pipe finishing class has started. I met several pipe makers that I have seen each year. There was a small crowd in the tent last night. The guys at the table I was sitting at discussed pipes, tobacco, work, motorcycles, travel, wives, and all the other topics that men talk about. The torrential rain was interesting, but the tent was dry.
The crowd will start getting bigger tonight and MUCH bigger the rest of the weekend. Be sure to talk to me if you see me. I am the bald guy, with a grey hair and beard. I probably will be smoking a pipe.
Solid Review! I always enjoy hearing from those new to the hobby! Even after spending probably 70 some days at this show over the past 21 years I still get a little weak in the knees when I walk in every year.
@daveinlax Thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear I'm not the only one who gets overwhelmed at first sight of the pipe show. There's nothing quite like it for the pipe fan.
