Epic haul indeed! You nabbed all of three big names. I really like that smooth Thile. Enjoy getting to know those beauties.

Congratulations on all your new pipes. I hope you can enjoy them for many years to come.

I scrolled down and began to think these were pipes you had admired at the show. Couldn't be that

you'd bought them all. You had admired, and you had bought! If you need to make room, send a few

of the old ones my way.

There's another post (to be a series of posts) with the pipes I admired, MSO.

I flew the plane into DuPage on Sunday for the Show. It was great flying weather and the flight took an hour as opposed to four hours of driving from my home in Wisconsin. I don't have pics to share tonight. But, I did buy two more Bob Hayes pipes. That makes 18 Bob Hayes pipes in my collection. He makes a great smoking pipe that is beautiful and very reasonably priced. Chris Tarler said my Captain Bob's Blend has been "selling well all the time". That made me feel really good to hear that. Needless to say, I also brought some home with me (to save on shipping). Don't ask the cost to fly down and back plus tobacco and pipes. It would shock you! I always say, if God really meant man to fly he would have given him........... no, not wings........... He would have given him MORE MONEY... lots more money!
I did look for familiar Forum faces but saw none! I wish I could have met those of you who were there on Sunday.
