Best Of

Good crowds, great company and interesting people. Naturally Missouri Meerschaum was there and I always try to get a pipe from them while at the show.
This was my only purchase, the Maddox:

Loved seeing @mapletop at the show. Took time for a quick pic and we exchanged some pipe tobaccos.
Also had the privilege of meeting his lovely wife (she took the pic)...

Here's my table just before the doors opened Saturday morn. 83 pipes. I should add that my wife makes all my pipe socks, which go with the purchase... 

After many years of being acquainted with, and doing some business with, Country Squire, I finally made my pilgrimage to Jackson, MS.  I happened to be in Vicksburg, 27 miles away, on business, so had to go by the shop and buy something.  $60 later and after a relaxing bowl of Tidewater, one of their Virginia blends, I left without getting to meet JD.  He was at a local rodeo selling cigars.  But I got to meet Quinn, a young man who was very helpful and friendly.  I took a picture or two but can't post them from this computer, so will try to load them up next week.
