2016 West Coast Pipe Show - Las Vegas

[pipestud]

I LOVE the West Coast Pipe Show. I meet a lot of folks every year who come by my table that I've worked with but never met in person and that's always fun. Also, we can actually smoke in the showroom, which certainly is nice. Lots of vendors are there who continue to do an "in your face" to the FDA, and lots of tables full of great pipes and tobacco. the Saturday night dinner is always entertaining and the food is great, and Steve McNeal and Marty Pulvers (two super knowledgeable pipe guys), run the show so smoothly that it's scary.
I have a table ready to display some ancient tobacco and some nice pipes, so, come on by and say howdy!
It'll be great to see jguss, greydawn, daveinla, Lonestar, etc, again, too!

Dan-
This just in! Several us folks will be willing to pay a buck for a few gram sample. Should work out to $100 a pound or more. You can still book it!!
Steve- I'll drop by, too.

Do people at the show wear any identifying name tags/labels? How would one know if a person at the show is a member on this forum without asking? Not everyone here has a pipe pin from Cosmic to show membership... .

Stanwell, you have to check the underwears. Purple means preferred member, green means junior member, etc. And Mods don't wear them. Not difficult to guess who will be the naked one, right?

My wife said she'd make pins if anyone would like them to identify us.
Anyone have any interest?
These would be 1" pins with "PM" cross-stitched on them.
THOUGHTS?

Wish I lived on the west coast. Should be an awesome show. I may have to trick the wife into a trip to Vegas next year that just happens to coincide with the pipe show :lol:
