North American Society of Pipe Collectors Show In Dublin (Columbus) Ohio, August 8-9

[Mike N]

I will be attending again this year and have a table. I’m looking forward to the new location this year. It’s a fairly big show and probably has more vintage tobacco offerings for sale than even the massive Chicago Show. Anyone else attending?

I'll be there both days! I signed up for the Slow Smoke competition on Friday as well.

I am. I missed last year (first one I missed since 2112). I hope the new hotel works out. It’s in a good location, back in Dublin OH.

 

[Sig]

Possibly.
That's only about 4 hours from me.

 

[Meerschaum Maestro]

Yeap! I’ll be there. I wonder if there are still tables up for grabs.

Looking forward to the show and Slow Smoke. The best part is sharing bowls with old and new friends. I got a table a week ago. Don't know current availabilty.

So, 1976?

I'll be there.

I’m bringing some of my home mix “The Famous Howie Kailin Blend” to share, if you see me, ask and a sample is yours! (I’ll be wearing a gray t-shirt featuring a pipe patent drawing at the show on Saturday.)

I'll be a middle-aged man with a beard.

Columbus was another excellent, well-run show by the North American Society of Pipe Collectors (NASPC) at the new venue Marriott NW. Over one hundred vendor tables sold in the ballroom with three outdoor smoking tents. The pipe selection was excellent but the vintage tobacco offerings were incredible, as usual.

There were hundreds of tins of vintage tobacco available, and, as an example, I was able to pick up 3 McClelland 100g tins for only $250 total (2007 Christmas Cheer; 2004 Mixture No. 12 and 2007 No. 22 Virginia see photo above). Compare those prices with the offerings on Tin Bids. I also got an old sealed 1 lb tin of LJ Peretti‘s London Flake for only $30: two sealed tins of 2001 & 2003 Dunhill Apertiff for $20 each and a sealed 2006 tin of Germain‘s Royal Jersey for $15. Redeemed Pipes had several large tubs of 10+ year old tins for sale from a large cellar Ben had purchased. This show is a must event to find vintage tobaccos.

I managed to get some great tins as well, all of these plus an unpictured 1lb bag of Rimboché SJ for a song. (The Golden Retriever was not part of the deal.)

I'm sad to have missed it! As we say up here in the mistake on the lake, there's always next year. And hopefully I wont double book myself again too.

 

[Meerschaum Maestro]

All I got this weekend was this great line! Not sad about it either…
