A suggestion on where to meet- a restaurant in San Francisco called
the "Cigar Bar and Grill" in North Beach.

Double-check that they are pipe friendly, but it seems like a fun
place for a bowl and a pint.
Good luck!

I'm out here in (very) snowy Philadelphia, but I visit the Bay Area
4-5 times a year. Right now I hang at Grant's, Piedmont Tobacconist,
Telford's, and both Mission Pipes, but I'm mobile. I gather there's a
group that meets at MP in San Jose on a Saturday each month. But any
given day works for me. Where would you meet? I was just out your
way at Half Moon Bay, several weeks ago.
BTW - tell me about your Wengholt. How big is it, the bowl diameter,
etc? I really like the looks of this, enough to TAD up some trading
stash, unless you can use cash.

PS - the easiest way to get in touch with me is to jump on
http://www.pipesmokerforum.com (how do you set an underline on this
format?) which has the most active Chat out there along with the usual
forums on pipes, tobaccos and a PM.
