Pipe smokers around the world have been asking the CORPS to bring back the annual “Pipe Smokers’ Expo” - and, believe it or not, we have been missing our annual conclave, too - longing to see our friends, smoke our pipes together, and meet new pipe smokers. It was difficult to find a place that incorporates our requirements, foremost being able to enjoy a smoke in a casual and relaxed atmosphere (a tradition from which the CORPS would not waiver), have a cup of coffee, perhaps a libation, all while trading pipes and tobaccos and carrying on with all the joys of pipe smoking. That location has been found and so . . .
The CORPS proudly announces

Wow, that is fantastic news! The show ended after only three years of my attendance. At a 3 hour drive, this was the closest show to me. The venue sounds like the right move as well! Date is definitely bookmarked!

This is awesome! That's about a 3 hour drive for me! I missed my local pipe show here in Raleigh by like a week when I finally saw an advertisement for it. I'm putting this one down on my calendar for sure!
