The CPCC Doctor and Master of Pipes Awards: They’re Not Forever Programs: Difference between revisions

Chuck described the impact of both the DOP and MOP awards this way: “They are examples of the most dedicated in the world of pipes, and our community has advanced to the degree that it has in many ways because of their commitment and talents” (“Doctors and Masters of Pipes: A Timeline,” smokingpipes.com). Are we not a big enough community with enough caring and commitment to establish a follow-on program to show our affection, admiration, and respect for the American pipe smoker, pipe collector, and all those affiliated with the pipe and tobacco business? Would another pipe club assume the mantle? Perhaps, but it’s unlikely. If we want such a program to continue, we’re the ones who need to make it happen.
