Just got back from The West Coast Pipe Show - Las Vegas.

My first pipe show and... WOW! I don't have any pics right now because my phone died but I had a great time. I'm on a limited budget but I managed to pick up some great pipes for very little money. There was a gentleman there selling his collection for $5.00 a pipe! Folks were buying them up by the bagful! I managed to score a GBD Rockroot poker sitter, a Comoys Tradition smooth bent, another Comoys Tinderbox Camelot, and one hell of a nice, big Caminetto Business pipe with an amber lucite stem. Smoking is allowed on the show floor and I got to sample some Plum Pudding and Hearth & Home Obsidian. I also picked up a tin of the West Coast Pipe Show 2011 Blend called Sierra Nevada and met the blender himself, the man, Russ Ouellette. I had a blast and my ticket is good for tomorrow, as well. I'm in the middle of cleaning up those pipes but I will try to get some pics up soon.

Whoo Hoo! :D

Good looking pipes there! I've already got the tentative thumbs up to attend next year, can't wait!

Here's the table where all pipes were $5 and the giant pipe racks were $10.

I'm on my way to cocktails and then dinner in an hour.

 

[brewshooter]

Cocktails and dinner? Sounds rough!! :roll: :P

Ive always wanted to go to the West Coast Pipe show...but personal things always come up around that time!!! Maybe next year...5 bucks a pipe seems like a killer deal...I would of bought A LOT of them...

Nice pipes. That sounds like a great time. I'm hoping to attend my first pipe show in Chicago next year. I live in SC so I'm saving up for a flight and hotel. I would have loved to be in Vegas though.

Can't see the moustaches on the stem and writings on pipe.Could be an early production but to be precise i must see .
