Probably go Saturday and Sunday, not too far from my house.

 

[sablebrush52]

I'm working, no nope...

 

[dino]

I'll be there, I always am.
This year my friend Al Shaw and I are doing a presentation on Sherlock Holmes: Pipes and Tobaccos.
See y'all in April.

Last year I donated a (almost life-size) Thomas Jefferson bust for the silent auction. I'm working on something different to donate this year. It's just another way to support the show.

@craiginthecorn Are you looking for items for the silent auction this year?

 

[daveinlax]

I was thinking about swing down on Saturday. I’m not seeing ticket prices for one day, I must be blind…

I’m guessing it’s weekend ticket good for any or all days.

What’s the ticket price?

Fine to PM me so as not to hijack the thread, but as an expert, do you have any insight on why the Milverton is so hard to find in the natural and dark smooth finish?

 

[jbfrady]

Maybe next year. I ain't ready to participate in an event of that magnitude.

 

[chilllucky]

What’s the ticket price?

I just heard it from the show director:

$50 for all events - access to the smoking tent, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday classes and events (pipe carving class is a separate few) , Saturday and Sunday show floor, and $25 in drink tickets at the hotel.

$25 entry to the show and smoking tent Sunday only.

I was 80% sure I was going until I heard about the Sherlock Holmes presentation, now I'm at 100%.

I'm not an "expert" on the Peterson Sherlock Holmes series pipes, although I have a few. They are hard to find because they are limited editions and get snapped up right away. However, there are 6 Heritage finish Milverton's for sale on Smoking Pipe right now. European shops sometimes have them for sale, so it's good to also check your online search engine for them. Hope you get lucky.

 

[Ted Vig]

I'm planning on Thursday-Sun.

 

[Streeper541]

Unfortunately I'm unable to attend anymore and had to cancel my room today. Boo....
Maybe next year.

 

[bigthunder]

I just booked a room for the Chicago Pipe Show. This will be my first time attending. Pretty excited about it.

Anyone else from the forums planning on going?

I’ll be there on Saturday

 

[jakesmokes]

Shooting for Saturday! About a three hour drive from the house

 

[ophiuchus]

One of the many reasons I miss living in Chicago. Now it's a 7-8 hour road trip. Still thinking about it, though.

 

[pens87]

I’m in. First pipe show for me.
