Anyone going? Apex Cigar Lounge is a lot more accessible for me then going to their other meetings in Durham. This will be my first meeting with them. Been to the TAPS shows several times. Hope to meet up with brothers!
October TAPS Meetup Sunday October 13th 2:00-5:00 pm Apex Cigar Lounge 1510 N Salem St, Apex, North Carolina 27502
Please join us at our October meeting this Sunday, October 13th. We will be returning to the Apex Cigar Lounge . It's a comfy place to relax and enjoy the company, explore the walk in humidor as well as their selection of pipes and tobaccos. We will be meeting on their covered, outdoor patio. There is no food or beverage service available but you are welcome to carry in.
Apex Cigar Lounge has been adding to it's already great selection of premium cigars, an expanded offering of top name pipe tobaccos in both tins and bulk. Please let them know you appreciate the use of the lounge by picking up an ounce or two of your favorite brand.
We will begin the planning for our 2020 Raleigh Pipe Expo and sampling the recently released John Cotton's Double Pressed Virginia. From P&C's website: A blend of sweet Virginias is first pressed and then sliced into a flake. It's then tumbled into a ribbon, allowed to breathe and put back into the mold to be pressed again into a crumble cake. This darkens the leaf, gives it a deeper, richer flavor, and takes much of the "edge" off the blend. Finally, there's a Virginia tobacco that just about anyone can enjoy - John Cotton's Double Pressed Virginia.
John Cotton's Double Pressed Virginia was the winner of the 2019 Chicago Bowl.
Our November TAPS Meetup is presently scheduled for Sunday October 13th. Location and details TBA
Kind regards, Your friends and fellow Triangle Area Pipe Smokers

I can't go, since I'm in Maryland, but I bought one of their shirts at the Richmond show! Love their branding, and a pipe club doing that level of branding is fantastic.

It was a good time. David Huber brought some of the pipes he has been working on for the Vegas show. Really nice stuff.

Club looks pretty dead to me. I got a response from Ed: Hi Charles, After a couple years we will be meeting again in May. Please direct anyone interested to either our Facebook page or our website www.tapsclub.us for meeting notifications which will be posted as soon as the location can be confirmed. Thanks, EdD

I heard from him too regarding Apex cigar lounge. I did have a bad experience there about four years ago. I was told I can't light a pipe there "because, well, you know, all the smoke" so I walked out and never returned. Guy was a jackass.
Ed never mentioned anything about the no pipe show I asked about for 2022.

Very little in the way of pipes, pipe accessories or pipe tobacco. In the indoor lounge area the cigar smoke can be oppressive and the chairs are uncomfortable for those with back issues, zero lumbar support. Just not for me and they are only 20 minutes away.

regarding the Apex Cigar Lounge cont……If you are getting your Ford serviced at the Ford dealer across the street maybe a good place to hang and smoke a cigar while waiting. But I think now they are charging some kind of membership fee to smoke in their indoor lounge. Best to check.

They are my go-to brick and mortar in the Area. Pipe smokers get respect here.

Pipes by George in downtown Raleigh is another interesting shop. Parking can be a hassle though.
