NASPC Dublin, Ohio Pipe Show August 26 & 27, 2016

I just wanted let everyone know about the North American Society of Pipe Collectors (NASPC) 2016 Swap/Sell Show is coming up. It is located in Dublin Ohio on the north-west side of Columbus. If you can make it this is a great show, it keeps getting better every year! If you haven't been to a pipe show this is a great one to start with. It is just the right size and doesn't overwhelm. If you have any questions you can always check out http://www.naspc.org/shownaspc.htm there is also a flyer on the website with details. It is free entrance to the public they have raffles and a meet and greet which last here had some "advertised" tobacco that you could try. My wife and I have gone multiple years and have had a blast every year.

I'd love to go - Columbus isn't that far away. Unfortunately it's the same weekend as the Kalamazoo Scottish Festival, which is a "must go" for me.

@judandhispipe Well maybe next year, hope you have a great time at the Kalamazoo Scottish Festival.

I'm looking forward to this years event. Last year was a blast and I met some really wonderful people.

piperdave

@pastormark I am looking forward to this year as well. Jeff, Eddie and John (and who ever else is involved in the logistics) do a phenomenal job of putting the show together and making it better each year. Hope to see you there.

@pastormark6430 sorry I forgot the 6430 at the end of your name in my previous post.

The show was fun, as always, if not incredibly hot.

Good to see the STG Lane table - sometimes it's just the little things that make you smile, but I gotta say I loved the little pins you guys were handing out.

It was fun as always, just not as much there as in the past because of these regulations, I really missed the tent, it was way to hot to smoke your pipe outside, I couldn't stay out there for more than 15 min. because it so hot.

judandhispipe

Glad you guys had a good time!

piperdave

@pipeman83 I agree it was very hot outside on the patio, we had to wait until the sun went down to step out for a pipe. We did venture to the courtyard a couple of times and sat in the shade with a slight breeze. Had a blast it was great to see everyone and meet some new people. Thank you STGLaneLTD for the coupons for some Captain Black. Found some great aged tins that were priced just right.
