The Pipe Tobacco Council offers the opportunity for companies to become members of the association. Membership is available to pipe tobacco manufacturers, importers, distributors, and to companies that furnish goods, accessories, or services to or for the pipe tobacco industry. A third membership category includes companies that are contributing participants that have a desire to support the association.
Membership Categories
