Dear
pipe lover,
"Only
very special people take the leisure in our time shaped from hectic
rush to maintain passions"
The
German Pipe College, is an exclusive club of pipe smokers that feel
obliged to the nobility of the pipe. In our fast turning world of
modernization the pipe is one of the most important preventive presents
against this modern speed and stress. The pipe itself is a joy of
living, that the personal note of the individual shapes. The feeling
and the magic reveals itself to all gourmets. Therefore there is
a need for special attention to maintain this tradition.
To
discover the secret of the pipe for themselves means to give a piece
of new living quality to the body and spirit , as well as room and
time for relaxation. You always will have a loyal companion through
all epchs of your life, when your are willing to open yourself to
the magic of the pipe.
With
that in mind we would like to invite you to join our special circle
and are looking forward becoming acquainted with you personally.

Consciously
we leaned in the case of the naming onto the historical tobacco
college. We see ourselves in this tradition, as a circle of familiar
pipe friends who do not talk only about their special hobby within
the framework of the pipe college and his events, but hold meaningful
conversations on topics of current affairs, history, culture and
science.
Through that
we want to form a social network of people who are united in the
pleasure and maintain common values and traditions.
Historical
background to the tobacco college:
"First the son
of King Friedrich I., Friedrich Wilhelm I., turned the tobacco college
into the firm component of the life at the Prussian court in Berlin.
In the circle of confidants the „soldier king“ enjoyed if one in
an quite free and easy way smoked an clay or meerschaum pipe, discussed
about the day event and other topics or enjoyed oneself with games
and fun. Ministers, officers, scientists and noble ones as Leopold
from Dessau belonged to the circle."
