NASPC was founded in 1993. Since then we have grown to over 1,000 members who live in nearly every state in the U.S. and in Canada and Europe.
NASPC produces a major swap/sell pipe show at the end of August in Columbus, OH.
Our major effort however, is The Pipe Collector, our bi-monthly (6x a year) newsletter, which is available in printed form or in a PDF email version. All Pipe Collector copy is written by the members, who write articles covering any and all aspects of pipe smoking and pipe collecting. Recent member articles have been written by the likes of Fred Hanna, Rick Newcombe, Marty Pulvers, Regis McCafferty, Richard Esserman and many more. In addition, each issue of The Pipe Collector contains a list of pipe shops and businesses that offer discounts to NASPC members.
NASPC yearly dues are $18 for US members, $22 for Canadian members and $37 for overseas members. If you would rather read The Pipe Collector on your computer, we offer the same 6 issues a year in PDF format for only $10. Paypal (bill@naspc.org) is accepted for quick sign-up convenience, but you must add $1 for PayPal fees.
