BROKEN PIPES
Honoring Our Fallen Members of the Conclave of Richmond Pipe Smokers
At the heart of the Conclave of Richmond Pipe Smokers lies a deep respect for tradition, fellowship, and the simple joy of sharing a bowl among friends. Over the years, we've had the great honor of walking alongside individuals whose passion for the pipe, love of conversation, and unwavering commitment to the C.O.R.P.S. helped shape our community into what it is today.
Some of those dear friends have now passed on — but their presence, their laughter, and their spirit still linger in every gathering, every puff of well-aged tobacco, and every shared story around the table.
