Here’s some photos of the city of New Orleans. These were taken on Sunday, August 9, 2009. I was in town for the IPCPR (International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers) Show. The show opens on Sunday, but they do not let the people on a “press pass” in until Monday. So I took the day to cruise around town.

My grandfather didn't smoke a pipe, but my uncle and some of my elementary school teachers did. In 1998, my neighbor Sam invited me out, and we ended up back at his place where there was a cigar humidor, and pipe rack on the coffee table. I had my first cigar, and then decided to try pipes too. I love the elegance and relaxation of smoking a pipe. In 2002, I started learning how to make websites, do SEO, and create content. I had a cigar content site and forums from 2005-2008 when it was bought out. In 2009, I launched PipesMagazine.com, which is now the largest, busiest community forums, and article content site for pipe and tobacco enthusiasts. We have one of the longest running pipe and tobacco focused podcasts since 2012 with lifetime industry veteran, Brian Levine.

Great photos Kevin!
1st class work Kevin. Great photos. I have staggered down those streets many times in my youth. New Orleans is my fav. U.S. city for partying.
New Orleans is a very cool place. You can still see lots of damage from Hurricane Katrina.
I didn’t take pictures of any of that. However, if you look at this picture:

The piece of wood going across the pole above the street sign shows the water level from the Hurricane.
The IPCPR Show (Industry tobacco show) will be there again next year in August.
