Metro Detroit February Gathering

[judcole]

Shoot, forgot about this. Let's try Tobacco Rose on Feb 27th. What works best for time? I'd vote for 1 PM,myself.

Assuming I'm not working I'll be there. I need to break in the Cayuga I picked up last weekend and this sounds like a good time to do it.

 

[jkrug]

Sounds good Jud. I've been wanting to make a trip back there. ::

 

[sparrowhawk]

I don't think I've heard of this one before. Location?

Ann Arbor Fred.

This is where we met the first time I attended one of the get togethers. I believe you were there as well but I'm not 100% sure. ::

 

[judcole]

Fred missed this one, IIRC.

 

[jkrug]

Oops...my bad. :D

 

[sparrowhawk]

Darn, that's right, I missed the Ann Arbor place--in my single trip to Ann Arbor, there was LOTS of smoking going on the campus I was visiting ... Is this a real pipe store or just a lot of tobacco?

 

[sparrowhawk]

By the way, you're going to love that Cayuga once broken in. They usually break-in fast. I've got four of them.

 

[gambit88]

Its a great pipe! Put three bowls through it and I love it.
Tobacco rose is more of a cigar shop but they have a nice section of pipe tobaccos as well. I go up there to meet with the Ann Arbor club ever so often. Lately they've had the estroica blends in stock (8oz bags).

 

[jkrug]

Last time we went some of the Ann Arbor guys joined us there. It was a fun gathering. Hopefully some of the guys will meet us there again. Would be nice to pick up a bag of Stonehaven if they have it. ::

 

[krizzose]

I'd like to try and join up if possible. What time? This Wolverine usually only gets back to AA on football saturdays.
What's the format? Is it appropriate to bring a couple of open tins to pass around?

 

[krizzose]

Has anyone invited Coach Harbaugh? The Wolverines can get autographs and photos, and the Spartans can remind everyone of the current state (pun intended) of the rivalry

 

[sparrowhawk]

Sure you can join, krizzose. Fee is directly payable to me, Sparrowhawk, made to cash for ah, say, $350. :twisted:

 

[jkrug]

Are you able to make it this weekend Fred?

 

[gambit88]

Krizzose,
We are pretty laid back. We normally have a few tins floating about so feel free to bring something to share if you so desire.
Jkrug, if neither of us end up working and make it there I have some Black xx for you. I tried it a few times and its just too much for me.

 

[judcole]

Should be fun!

 

[krizzose]

Unfortunately it's looking increasingly likely that I'll be working on Saturday . I'll make it one of these days. Sparrowhawk, you can calculate interest on the $350 starting on 2/27 if I don't make it

 

[jkrug]

Jkrug, if neither of us end up working and make it there I have some Black xx for you. I tried it a few times and its just too much for me.

Thanks for that Gambit but I think I will pass. I bought some myself and it is WAY TOO STRONG for me too...knocked me on my butt!!

Should be fun!

Missed the last two so really looking forward to this one.
