Just curious as to who plans to attend? I'm pretty sure I'm going if I can still get a table.

Let's not do that, LM. LOL They sound expensive and I want to spend all my money on pipes and tobaccos. I will keep an eye out for you. Are you going on Friday?

I'm probably only going on Friday night after work. I'd love to go Saturday as well but I'm not paying for a hotel when I live 2 hours and 20 min away and I'll spend too much money on Friday. Unless something changes.

25th & 26th, next week. I'm getting pretty excited to go. Can't wait to see @lady Margaret johnlawitzke serenity haebar and several other friends! I'm most likely only going on Friday opening night, though. I am not getting a hotel unless plans change but I really want to be there Saturday for the raffle so we'll see. Gonna do my best to buy pounds of tobacco and aged tins and no pipes. |

can't wait to see you too, as well as all the others. hubby is looking forward to meeting Ollie  I have no idea what to even expect. I am hoping to find a Dagner Witches Warden, but not holding my breath on that one. Would like to find some Rattray's Exotic Orange. Other than that, just gonna see what is there.

Dagnar usually doesn't show up in Columbus. He also was not in Chicago this year. Don't know if he has any dealers who might be there. |

I'm excited about this show. Wouldn't have been able to go had I not been offered a ride with a pipe maker, Ron Smith. Even though there are no tables available, I'm going in hopes of a cancellation or other arrangement so I can sell some of my estate pipes and tins. Looking forward to meeting all of you.

it is a 2016 limited edition pipe so the hope is to find one as an estate or in someone's leftover inventory....

Good luck! There will be about 120 vendor tables. Be sure to buy some raffle tickets early in the day on Saturday. They do hourly drawings. The last drawing of the day will be for numerous very nice pipes that have been donated. A couple of thoughts for the first time pipe show: Cash is king. Many vendors won't be able to accept a credit card. You can try to negotiate price with a dealer, but don't try to negotiate with an artisan pipe maker. It's always hard to decide whether to buy something when you see it or wait to look through the whole show and risk it being gone later. If there is a space open at a table of strangers, feel free to join them. You never know who you'll meet that way. Many of my pipe show friendships started that way. Only three more days!!! |

I look like my avatar and I usually wear a Minions t-shirt. John, I will recognize you - saw you in a YouTube review of the 2016 Columbus Show made by MuttonChop Piper. I recognized you in the video based on your avatar here! Here is a picture of me last year:  I will have a single table (no business name) with lots of estate pipes on it. Name is John (Tab) Peryam. Hope to see you there. I'm not as mean as I look in the picture. |

Yeah, I know. We aren't even hanging around for breakfast. We'll be gone well before most everyone is out of bed. It's 10 hours back to KC and we have to get home to save my Mother-in-Law from my children. |

SO, last night I dreamed that in my eagerness we got to the pipe show early -- REALLY early, like 9am on Friday, lol. Only a few people were there, and I suddenly realized that I didn't bring ANY of my pipes! THE HORROR!!!!! So, needless to say, this morning I am packing my pipes!

If your dream becomes reality, there is a Tinderbox store a couple miles south of the show location. When you get to the show, if there aren't people out smoking on the hotel bar patio, there are usually people smoking in the hotel courtyard. |

Wonder why my 1st post to this subject was deleted this morning, I'd really like an answer to that.
