Richmond pipe and cigar show

[cigrmaster]

I was wondering if anyone has ever been to this show and did they enjoy it. Also is anyone here planning on attending. I have never been to a pipe show and was thinking of going to this one.

Man, I'd love to hit that one but will be up in Reading, PA that weekend watching an old friend of mine drive his NHRA Nitro Funny Car.

This is our first trip to Maple Grove, looking forward to it though!
(apologies for the subject variance here)

Just did a search and found a post from last year. I was hoping to see if anyone from here is going, would be cool to meet up with some of the guys here.
Dave, meet me there, we would have a blast.

I'll be there on Friday and Saturday, handing out free tobacco at the STG-Lane LTD table.

 

[cigrmaster]

cool Leonard, I will be sure to say hi.

I will be there on Saturday. Lets set up a PipesMagazine.com meet somewhere at the show.

Doggone - I just wrote up a great description of the CORPS Expo - and there was some sort of "server error". Phooey. There is info at the CORPS web site - 'www.corpipesmokers.org' under the EXPO link at the top of the page.
disclosure: I'm a Richmond area CORPS member - but don't make a dime off of the event - but am going to have a ball there - y'all join me there!

I had been planning to go, but not 100% sure if I will make it. Probably will be a last minute decision, but I'd love to meet up with members here if I do make it.

I went to that show for the first time last year. It was pretty good: it is a regional show. You know there is Chicago, and then there is everywhere else.
I will be there from Friday evening until the end of the show.
I sold a pregnant guppy there last year, and I am kind of eager to see if it had any babies.

Al, we definitely have to do that. When it gets closer and we know how many of us are attending, we should maybe swap cell phone numbers and then maybe set a time in front of the Lane table. I was planning on getting in on Friday and then staying until the end of the show.

 

[ssjones]

Sounds good. I can only attend for the day and plan on getting there around noon on Saturday.

IMO, CORPS is second only to Chicago as a show. It's been far too long since I've been to one, hopefully I can make it this year.
Cigarmaster, you need to bring Gabrielle. She'll keep Kevin's table busy all weekend

 

[wayneteipen]

I will have a table there. Now, back to work so I have something to put down on that table...lol!

 

[cigrmaster]

Looks like my plans got squashed. I have my youngest daughter that weekend and the ex was going to switch with me but has now changed her mind. She says something came up. Yeah screwing me over is what came up. Luckily I hadn't bought a plane ticket yet. Hopefully I will get to Chicago this year instead. I will make a show one of these days.

 

[hawk60ce]

chicago was in may. i know the pains of 'something' coming up. always seems to happen to me last minute.

 

[atwageman]

I will be there on saturday. Always a great show.

 

[ssjones]

Shoot, I was looking forward to meeting you Harris. I'm still planning on going Saturday. I'll wear my straw drivers hat, so you guys can give me a shout out.

I am going this year and Al, we should do a PM lookup. I didn't go last year because of Laura's health but everybody is healthy this year.

I wish they'd have one in Little Rock or Shreveport, or even Dallas.
