There’s a place
for you here.

Interested in joining Hoosier Briar Fellowship? Whether you’re new to the hobby or have enjoyed it for years, there’s a place for you here. Reach out with your questions—we’d be glad to help you get acquainted.

Do I need to be an experienced tobacco & pipe enthusiast?

No. The fellowship welcomes people with different levels of knowledge and experience.

What can members expect at a typical meeting?

Each meeting features a different tobacco theme, such as Virginia, English, Aromatics, Scottish, or Oriental blends. We sample a couple of tobaccos representing the featured style and discuss their history, ingredients, and unique characteristics. Members are encouraged to share their personal thoughts and reviews, making every meeting a welcoming opportunity to learn and explore blends together.

How often and where does the fellowship meet?

Meetings are held once a month in Nashville, Indiana, with occasional gatherings at The Briar & The Burley in Bloomington, Indiana. Exact dates and locations are shared directly with approved members.

Are there club dues or membership fees?

While there are no official membership dues or fees, full participation requires members to acquire a designated club jacket and purchase the official club patches to display on the jacket.

What is the cost of Hoosier Briar Fellowship club patches?

A set of club patches (7 patches in total) is $70.
