Well, my friends... it’s been too long. Life has done what it is wont to do and thrown me into the ether for a few years. Kept thinking how much I needed to pop back in and say hi. So good to see a lot of familiar names around the forum. Hope the years have found you all well, and I look forward...

Well I took everyone's advice and made my way to the show today. Awfully glad I did. It's definitely a different atmosphere on Sunday. Very laid back and I was pleased to see so many sellers still hanging around. Several new pipe makers were there and I had a chance to meet with some fresh faces...

Thanks, Dave. That's kind of my feeling as well. The drive isn't bad at all (excluding the year I got ticketed on my way up). I had just heard a lot of gloom and doom stories about seller presence on Sunday. That combined with how much I love the silent auction was just making me a bit dubious...

Great info, Carlos. I had forgotten about the slow smoking competition as I'm usually not there to enjoy. I tend to go up with my partner in crime, but I've yet to break the news to him just yet. I'll strongly consider it either way. I would hate to miss out on being at least some part of the...

Hi Carlos. A quick question I have for you and anyone else who might be able to answer. For the last few years I have gone to the show on Saturday- driving up and returning the same day. While I would love to settle in for the full event, it's not been feasible as yet. This year, I have a family...

Nightcap. Spread my time around quite a bit, but that particular blend saw some particular attention.

I received a kabuto shirt for the holidays. Loving it. Build quality seems top shelf, great weight, all around very nice. I highly recommend.

So I must begin by apologizing for my delay in getting the haul posted. It has been absolutely ludicrous at Ye Olde Company, but alas I am finally on vacation. So upon opening my package, I was greeted by three carefully wrapped gifts, and knew it best to take a quick picture before I tore into...

I've been so swamped at work, I just came across this news. A great loss indeed.

Sorry for the delay. My package was well received. Will post pics/details later. Thanks Santa.

Wow, DandB. That's a masterpiece. Enjoy it in fine health. Congrats to you and "Santa."

Package left my local PO yesterday. Hope I did alright by my victi... I mean deserving brother.

Seems to be a stellar year for Santa and his elves. Congrats all! My sleigh takes flight in the morning... I just hopei can live up to the bar my brothers have set.

Just waiting on a final UPS package from <ahem> Santa's Workshop arriving tomorrow. Then those reindeer take flight!! They certainly look ready to go!

Wow Moz! That is a stunner. I am getting my last shipment of goodies in this week and will be rallying the reindeer shortly after. Thanks Brothers for making this time of year something to look forward to all year long. As always, a special nod to Carlos for all the hard work he puts in to...
