International Pipe Smoking Day on 20th of February
You may be surprised to learn that International Pipe Smoking Day is not as long-established as you might think. So let's take a look at how it all came about.
International Pipe Smoking Day (IPSD) is celebrated annually on 20 February and brings together pipe enthusiasts around the world to honour the rich tradition and culture of pipe smoking. Established in 2008 by the UK's prominent online community Smokers Forums, the day commemorates the anniversary of the forum's founding and serves as a day for pipe smokers to come together to appreciate their shared passion.
Over the years, International Pipe Smoking Day has grown significantly over time thanks to the support of other organizations around the world, such as the Comité International des Pipe Clubs, which brings together members from more than 25 countries, and the United Pipe Clubs of America (UPCA).
