The TAPS pipe show at the N.C. State Fairgrounds has a covered outdoor patio with picnic tables and ash trays
where you are invited to smoke tobacco samples offered at tables indoors. Since the indoor area is not huge,
and does not permit smoking, this is a good arrangement. It offers a place where you can actually focus on
the blend you are trying and not be submerged in the smoke of other blends. Needless to say, the conversation
at these picnic tables is pipe-centric and from time to time hyperbolic. Let's say the truth gets healthy doing
stretching exercises.
