Once again I will miss this year show, but my wife will be going in my place. she always Skype's me to show me all the beautiful pipes and old friends.
I plan on attending my 19th straight Gateway Pipe Show Thursday to Sunday. The new place is smaller than the great one stop locations of the past but it's very unique and still smoke friendly! :shock:
It was a fun weekend from a crowded smoke filled room at the hotel Thursday night to the visiting cigar shops with the boys Friday afternoon. The Friday night reception/pre show was well attended with snacks and a generous open bar provided by the club. The show was jam packed from 8 to 3 when things started to slow down before another lively smoke fill room at the hotel that lasted to the wee hours of the morning. :shock:
