PTC is the industry-leading trade association of the pipe tobacco industry.
Membership is open to companies across the pipe tobacco world—from manufacturers and importers to suppliers and service providers. Regular Members play an active role in shaping the future of the industry, with full voting rights, the ability to serve on the Board, and access to the full range of benefits. Associate Members—including companies that support the industry with products, accessories, or services—are welcomed into the PTC membership community and can attend meetings, stay informed, and take advantage of select programs, resources, and benefits. No matter your role in the pipe tobacco world, membership in the Council connects you to a stronger, united industry.
