I'd love to go but its on Shabbos, and I don't roll or go to pipe shows on Shabbos.

I appreciate your adherence to your faith Mordecai, it’s lent for me but I lapsed already.

I can't speak to this one particular show, but having gone to four of the big pipe shows, vendors tend to have more overhead to cover, because of hotel rooms and travel, so making as much as they can is their priority. But, if a vendor is doing well, you might be able to make a deal. It just depends on your haggling skills and the luck of the situation. But, don't expect deep discounts. The fun in these events is getting to see and fondle pipes that you may have only ever seen in pictures.

It was at a pipe show that I realized how big Randy Wiley makes his pipes, and seeing tables full of the same Dunhills all lined up really has an impact on the viewer. But, most of all the camaraderie and getting to try so many different blends from all of the other visitors is what makes these shows the best thing ever.

We may not be getting to have shows like these for very much longer into the future, so you'd better get in while there are shows to be getting into.

I have done similar non pipe events in the past so I appreciate the effort and understand the costs involved. Hopefully I’ll make some coin in the meantime so I can drop it In one of the exhibitors till. If anyone attending wants to know of a good Portuguese place in Newark to bang out a bottle of wine after feel free to ask me.

I will probably be there too, I only wish there was a list of the exhibitors

It was understandably poorly attended but a good time nonetheless. I am glad that I was able to make it and set up my table. Didn't make anywhere near what I needed but I got to have a lot of good conversation.

Your daughter was adorable and made our day when she picked up and inspected Rich’s huge new Ser Jac 5max and commented on the size and the nice birds eye! ?

Your daughter was adorable

Thank you. She tends to have that effect on people. I am just glad that this community accepts and understands a little girl who loves talking pipes.
