Thanks! No matter where you stay we welcome you. If you arrive early or stay late get ahold of Brian or myself for a elevator pass to access the fun on the 14th floor.
@daveinlax My flight is scheduled and I plan on being there for the show. Don't know which days I'll be attending yet, but I'll text you and let you know. Hopefully we can do a face-to-face. Always a pleasure to meet a fellow TPL member...
One week to go! If you can’t attend, you’ll be missed but please check out #vegaspipeshow #lvips on the socials. We will have multiple YouTube presenters streaming coverage and a couple of world class photographers uploading to Instagram throughout the weekend!
@daveinlax Due to family obligations, I'll only be free to attend on Sunday. However a $50.00 entry fee for just one day is too steep for me. I plan on being there at the premises, but can't justify the cost for entry. I will try to text you via this TPL blog when I arrive in the hope of still being able to meet...
Changed my mind. Why leave money to my kids... They're doing fine. I'll be there at the show Sunday, and I'll text you when I'm there. Really look forward to it...
Max Stokkebye was there for the Lane/Scandinavian Group. I told him how much he was missed last year at the STL pipe show. Basically personnel, or should I say lack thereof, resulted in their absence. He always gives you a feeling of being an old friend...great guy...
Met some new guys from McCranie's Pipes Tobacco Cigars. They GAVE me 2 bags of their tobacco. Smoked one bowl (Cavendish Court) this morning... EXCELLENT! Check their list out from the pic on the left side. Nice guys - great tobacco... Check them out: www.McCranies.com
Naturally Missouri Meerschaum was there. Never can resist a good cob, so I purchased a model called, "the Ruby". Anyway, I started breaking it in at the show...
An independent table had some tobaccos. I found these 2 for 10 and 15 bucks respectfully. I apologize for not catching the guys name, but he did have some good tin bargains...
Won't bother you with EVERY detail so here's my last "loot" pic from the show. Needless to say, I paid nothing or next to nothing for these items. I was BARELY able to keep my TAD & PAD tendencies in check. But all in all, I was proud of myself... 😏
@KA9FFJ Yes, I have been looking for an MM reverse calabash and one of the MM cob cigars. There are a couple of nice Pete’s in there, but I’m looking at the Castello’s on the left even harder😬. That 3rd one from the bottom especially. The straight stout billiard. I really like the Aristocratica finish on the 2nd from the bottom. One of these days…A Castello is on my “bucket list” along with a Paulo Becker Squat Bulldog or Rhodesian.
If only I were independently wealthy. Castello 2023 LE Pot with boxwood stem, and I don’t usually like pots. This one looks close enough to a chunky billiard for me though🙂

Going to try and time our visit with our son and his wife to correspond with the LV show.
Is there an admittance fee?
Appreciated...

I'd take you up on that offer, but we'll be staying with my son and daughter-in-law..
Good deal though....

What a great guy. He was understandably busy, but still took the time to talk, take pics and was very congenial.
Tnx Dave...

Also, MM has made a pipe just for you buddy...
Thanks so much for sharing your photos and experiences with those of us that can't make the trip.
