He was also kind to ask you what tobaccos you liked and then based on you mentioning 965, throw in that tin of Dunhill 965 with the pipes.

I was doing good until I saw a vendor who wasn’t here last night… I saw a section of his table marked with Danish flags… I now own a pair of estate Tonni Nielsen bamboo Billiards. 😎 At least I got a bundle discount. 😀

That's a nice looking meer! The pattern of holes kinda reminds me of acoustic tiles. I dig it. |

I won this Robert Vacher pipe in the finale raffle, and a 2021 tin of Blockade Runner and two back issues of Pipes Mag. Was breaking it in smoking with cerealpiper  |

At the end of the show today, I bought the last 7 tins available. After today this blend is now only available on the after market and will not be made again. Bought while I could. The price will never be $15 again. |

I had a great time. Next year I will be staying for the whole event from the start. I think alot of the good deals may have already been sold by the time I got there yesterday. |

Yeah, we hit it hard on Friday night, because there was tobacco again this year. When John and I got back from dinner unfortunately you were gone, but I knew you had to get back home. Les and Nathan (Greywoodie) and I stayed out on the patio until 4am this morning. |

It was good to meet yall. I'm sure it was a great time for yall. Wish I could have stayed longer. I left at 7 ended up getting back home at around 12:30. We stopped and got some white castle it was the second time trying it still did not impress. When In Rome I suppose.

Great weather for driving and traffic was light this morning. I got home free m Columbus just before 2pm. Unlike Zach, I did not close the patio last night/this morning. I headed back to my room around 12:15.
It was great seeing everyone in person, but, as always, our time together was too short. Already looking forward to Chicago…

Decided to not buy any baccy this time. Only thing that piqued my interest was a tin of Kingfisher, but the dude wanted $375 for it. I don't like it that much. |

I guess that anyone can put any price they want on something, but that price is ridiculous.
He must look like Gollum and called that tin his precious.

Yeah that's insane. I have too much baccy to begin with. I refuse to pay that much for a single tin. |
