New Bern KOA HolidaySaturday Social & Smoke
After a successful second gathering of the Twin Rivers Ash & Briar Exchange, which brought together about a dozen pipe smokers for shared tobaccos, conversation, and camaraderie around the pipe table, the next Saturday Social & Smoke is planned. Look forward to a relaxed afternoon centered on flavorful blends and friendly discussion. At the previous session, a tin of tobacco donated by the moderators went to Anthony Bonnici with lucky number 17. A schedule change for the Jacksonville Pipe Club meeting at Godfather Cigar makes it easier for members to take part in both gatherings. Attendees often bring a favorite blend to share, and the atmosphere welcomes longtime members as well as the pipe curious.
