Did they say what type of arrangements they will make for those who want to fire up a pipe or cigar this year, Corey?

CoreyD · 03-12-2011, 06:06 PM

From website
THERE WILL BE A VERY LARGE TENT FOR SMOKING, WITH FOOD AND DRINK AVAILABLE FROM 1PM WEDNESDAY OF THE SHOW WEEK TO EARLY MONDAY MORNING, NEXT TO THE MEGA CENTER. THERE IS NO SMOKING IN THE MEGA CENTER OR THE PHEASANT RUN RESORT, EXCEPT FOR THE 80+ GUEST SMOKING ROOMS AVAILABLE. REMEMBER, WE HAVE OUR SMOKING TENT.
How many BOTL can you fit in a tent, may have to find someone to go halfy's on a smoking room hehe

It must be nice... I sure do wish there was an annual pipe show here in SoCal

CoreyD · 03-13-2011, 08:33 AM

Thats what I say about wisconsin but Chicago will do....

jkstewart1 · 03-14-2011, 11:51 PM

I'm about three hours south. I'll have to see if I can get up there. It'd be great to meet some more BOTL.

I've always very much wanted to go to the Chicago Show but money is always the issue.

Bruce · 03-29-2011, 07:34 AM

I'll be there.
If any are considering going, try to make it Friday for the pre show market.
By the time Saturday rolls around, a lot of the rare stuff has already been sold either at the pre-show or during "room surfing" Friday night.
Also, many vendors hold hospitality event in suites Friday night. Chance to chit chat with some of the big dogs in the industry.

I might consider coming to this.. Would be cool to see some of you guys from Chicago and surrounding areas again

And maybe pick up a new pipe
