West Coast Pipe Show - My Pics

[PipeGeek]

I wanted to share a few select pics from the show, then at the end, I'll like my full photo album of all the pipes on the tables.

A couple of characters!

Russ Ouellette holding a tin of his show blend.

Russ giving his tobacco/beverage pairing chat.

Guest Speaker Steve Fallon giving the awards dinner speech.

All the pipe makers in attendance at the dinner.


And here's the big album of pictures of all the pipe tables at the show. They are set off by pics of the table number, business card or nametag of the owner, and possibly by a picture of table owner (if they let me). WARNING: There are 347 pictures total!

Awesome pics brother. Let us know how you like that new blend from Russ. Also Steve Fallon is a darn nice guy (just from dealing with him from his website)

I enjoyed a nice bowl while perusing all the pipe porn.

Holy smokes that a lot of pipes! Thank you for sharing the great pics. That looks like some tough competition for the full time pipe makers. I hope I can sit amongst them someday. It will probably be a couple years until I can afford to make it to the west coast show. I'll definitely have a table in Columbus this year, and hopefully Chicago. I will definitely be entering the Kansas city pipe makers contest, and will do the zulu dance if my entry gets picked I'm hoping to make it to that show as well. It all comes down to how many pipe I will have available and if I can get my surgery, get back to working full time, and save the funds neccesary. I've got my fingers crossed. :cheers:

This show slipped under the radar for me. I'll have to check into for next year. Looks like a great time. Pipe porn indeed!
