The PCoLeb participates in the 13th World Championship in Pipesmoking in Cologne, Germany

Paul Jahshan, Fares Irani, Salim Khoury, and Patrick Georgevitch represented the Pipe Club of Lebanon in Cologne, Germany, at the 13th World Championship in Pipesmoking organized by the CIPC (Comité International des Pipe Clubs) along with 340 participants from all over the world. Again, we were the first and only club from the Middle East/North Africa to participate, so that's good enough for us! Below are some photos of the event and of our short stay in Cologne.
