There are sporadic attempts to gather the pipe community under one umbrella. Back in 1974, there was a short-lived enthusiasm for joining the Pipe Club of London (local chapter meetings, international newsletter &c.). It was one of many promotions by the industry over the years that fell a little short and faded away.
Probably the most effective (pipe boards) have been more nearly spontaneous developments than organised marketing campaigns. But even today, with as many hits as these get, a well-placed friend tells me that many pipe affecionados will still have nothing to do with computers and the internet.
Herding cats is a tough job :lol!:
