Muletown Pipe show - Columbia, TN.

[Choatecav]

All I can say is "wow."
First big pipe show that I have ever attended and it was an experience. It was packed with attendees and hundreds upon hundreds of the most beautiful pipes I have ever seen.
I was like a kid in a candy store....

Bought five pipes. A new one and some great estates.

a) A new hand made poke by Randy Smith of Ranz Pipes. Made of Morta wood which I have been wanting.
b) A beautiful Vauen model 3501
c) Gorgeous Aldo Velanie 301. Made in Sorento Italy
d) Old classic from The Tinder Box. Made of Grecian Briar
e) squat bulldog shaped "nose warmer" Unknown maker.

Can't wait until next year!!

I ended up having to be out of town. Sounds like a very successful show. Awesome pipes. Congrats on the nice finds.

Could you smoke on the show floor?

Sounds like a fun event and you made some nice picks.

Man I paid for a ticket and was so looking forward to it but wasn’t able to go after all.
Hopefully next time.

Sure can

Could you smoke on the show floor?

Yes, a large number of the attendees were smoking as they browsed the tables (myself included). Many of the vendors were smoking as well. Another thing that was interesting was how many of the attendees donned not only their best smoking attire but also some dressed in different period garb. I saw a few in the vein of Sherlock Holmes. I saw early 20's and 30's styles, Scottish kilts, etc. etc.
Really a fun time.

Everything I've seen of the show makes it look like it's well run and well attended. It's great to see.

The anti-hat inside folks are going to have a heart attack though.

Too many pictures to share em all, but wow - what a time. Well run, hospitable, great artisans. 5 star show. Grateful to have gone with a great group of guys and meet many others in person finally.

Could you smoke on the show floor?

You could smoke everywhere. Bar, show floor, bathroom, you name it.

I'm goon in the yellow hat checking him in.
There were over 500 folks there this year. I've never been to any other pipe shows but I overheard more than one vendor say it was the best in the country and this year was the best yet. Vermont Freehand has some good coverage on their instagram as well.

Agreed… Pete Prevost and crew put on a heck of a show this year . I always go saying I’m not gonna spend much this year and per usual fail. Had a great chat with Brad Pohlmann and Silver Gray and picked up a piece from each and enjoyed chatting with some very talented carvers . Pete’s going to outgrow that space in a year or two

I wasn’t able to attend but my good friend Scott Thile was gracious enough to host the tampers I make alongside his gorgeous pipes. It was a great show for both of us. I will plan on going next year.
