Portuguese Pipemakers at CCP Dinner Oct12

Greetings to all..

 

Last 4th October one more CCP (Cachimbo Clube de Portugal) dinner toke place.
this time CCP change place and the dinner was at "CAFE CANAS" in Lisbon...

 

 

As usual good environment, good people, friends, Clube members, good food, good drinks, pipes, tobaccos and more.....
CCP's dinner brings people the joy of meet toghether at least once a month, and the pleasure to enjoy the spirit of the pipe's world.
From this dinner on more topics and news regarding tobacco tastes and blenders, but that NEWS i'll comment up front in other Blog Comment. ...

For now just the reference to the great spirit that all 'staff'' and members share within the CCP's dinner.






Always a typical table with pipes from the CCP collection and some tobaccos as well and pipes from pipe makers or personal collections....Good to see. always a positive topic ....






Besides a monthly dinner, this time we could meet all toghether 5 pipe makers from Portugal.
Paulo Santos, Bruno Robalo, João Madail, Antonio Monteiro and João Reis.
YES, João Reis is a Portuguese pipe maker who is living and working a long time in Denmark, but he is Portugues.... :)


 

 

At dinner's time, Paulo Santos and Bruno Robalo sharing some ideas and comments about pipe work and machinery !

Using a break on dinner's, Antonio Monteiro and João Madail, talking about some news at 'work'..
New ideas for new pipes and always sharing knowledge...Great to see.!

It was good to see all toghether, changing opinions, technics, comments....ideas..and also planning to visit eachothers on their workshops...That is a reason to be proud of : UNION..
Many things could be positive for the grow of the pipemakling movment in Portugal...

João Madail, João Reis and António Monteiro.




The way they change information and technics will be great for sure in future works...
The humble way they live and share their work, their knowledge is great to see..
What i like to express with this comment is that no matter what famous each one are in their personal or profissional life, they change and talk about pipemaking 'opennly" this means without restrictions...the reason should be....if they all goes in the same direction, fighting with all adversities that Portuguese market has, they could be faraway...in merit, fame and recognition....
All of them, with different styles, all of them have great work, great pieces,.,,
Handmade pipes, freehands..whatever...

Well the reason of this words .....besides the reference to one more dinner, thanks CCP for that, is really the Achieved Goal that was to join all these 5 Man, 5 pipemakers and friends all toghether at the same place at the same dinner.  I was REALLY great to see.

For sure in a near future we will be able to se more and more pieces of these Pipe Makers around our Universe....

 And, of course "THE Saloon" was present and represented there.

 

 

João Madail, João Reis, João Farinha and Carlos Batalha

 

There're many CCP's Members that are already Saloon's members..this is good because in fact,in really true, "THE Saloon is a International Friendship Brotherwood that counts with Portuguese members as well...proudly.!

Thanks for reading this lines...
Wishes of good smokes to all!
