Throwback-2012 Chicago Pipe Show

Browsing photos tonight and this photo from 2012 Chicago Pipe Show came up. That is me browsing the Baki meerschaum table. I was like a kid in a candy store!

Yes! That was the last Chicago Show I attended - Purely by chance, my friend and I sat with Mike & Mary McNiel of McClelland at the opening night dinner. What a great opportunity to just sit and listen to tobacco royalty. Eager to return a decade later. (Hopefully!)

That table of Meerschaum's is a pipe smoker's dream.

I believe they also had two tables dedicated to Castellos.

And I am sure sitting next to Mike McNiel all you got to do was listen. ?

wow that crowd makes me feel young. Though no one looks decrepit and that's kind of telling.
