The scope of '''Pipedia''' will ultimately be defined by its contributors. Our hope is that it will become an extensive repository of information on tobacco pipes and their makers. Knowledgeable enthusiasts, collectors, pipe makers, and tobacconists are welcome and encouraged to contribute to Pipedia. Please click the "discussion" tab above if you'd like to dialog with the contributors about the project. '''''Pipe smoking is allowed, encouraged, and facilitated on this site.'''''
