Okay folks mark your calendars for October the 2nd and 3rd 2020 for the Sutliff/CORPS Pipe Smokers Gathering at Sutliff Tobacco in Richmond, Virginia!!!
It was such a success last year, we're going to expand it to 2 (two!) days! One of the few complaints we received was that there was too much to do in one day. Between blending seminars, factory tours and almost 100 tables to browse there was hardly enough time to fit it all in. Not to mention, vendors at their tables had a hard time partaking in the other activities.
So, this year the show will start on Friday, October 2nd, 2020 with Sutliff factory tours, multiple and separate blending seminars led by Per Georg Jensen of Mac Baren and Jeremy Reeves of Cornell and Diehl. There will be food and social events throughout the day. We plan on having a Slow Smoke Competition plus some other special events that are in the planning stages.
Then on Saturday, October 3rd, 2020 will be the Pipe Show itself. We expect more people this year, so there will be more tents to house all those extra tables. Throughout the day there will be food, raffles, live music, etc. And, of course, smoking will be permitted throughout the show except during the factory tour.
Just remember that due to the FDA changes and the fact that we plan to have beer available that all attendees must be 21 year of age or older!
