......Our History
88
The Pipe Club of London was
formed in 1970 in association
with the late Pipe Club of Great
Britain with a view to encourage
the appreciation of quality pipes
and fine tobaccos, and, to
promote the interests of
members by offering them social
entertainment and educational
facilities connected with pipes
and tobacco.
The Club is truly international in
scope, having over 300 members
in twenty-six countries around
the world.
Meetings are held at various
venues in and around the greater
London metropolitan area. Please
click on the Club Calendar tab for
specific venues, dates and times.
All pipe smokers whether novice
or expert, men or ladies are
welcome to attend. Activities
include tobacco tasting, talks on
pipes and tobaccos, pipe-
smoking competitions, visits
to pipe factories--and the
camaraderie of like-minded
pipe smokers. [More HERE.]

Herr Franz Schuchardt
SCHUCHARDT, born in Bad
Lautenberg im Harz Germany,
was the chief engineer of the firm
A.E.G., and an avid pipe-smoker
and collector.
He began collecting pipes in the
early 1900s during frequent
business travels around the
world.
His meticulous research,
care and keeping of these pipes
resulted in a most unique
collection from which he selected
one to smoke each day.
His pipe-loving nephew, Dieter
Prange, inherited the collection
comprised of 195 rare pieces
dating from the 19th and 20th
Centuries. There are 42
meerschaums (see photo below),
86 fine hand painted pottery
examples, 29 briars (mostly hand-
carved) and 29 made from
various other materials--metal,
stone clay, etc.
The Schuchardt collection was
recently acquired by the Brebbia
Pipe Museum in Brebbia, Italy.
Just an hour's drive NW of Milan
(map), if you find yourself in the
area, please visit and send us a
photo-essay!
