In the February 1947 issue of ''Pipe Lovers'', it was suggested that a National Association of Pipe Clubs be established. In the August 1947 issue, it was proposed that this club be named the National Order of Pipe Smokers. In the March 1948 issue, The National Order was reorganized. Sometime between that month and July 1949, it became The International Association of Pipe Smoker Clubs and incorporated in Schenectady, New York. It is now under the auspices of the Arrowhead Pipe Club in Flint, Michigan.
