When they do sell, the prices they're asking today are higher than what we've seen in the past. Craig Tarler began the show with a bunch of his wonderful bulk tobaccos, but he left with a much lightened load that evening. The PCCA specialty blends produced by McClellands were there in abundance. Pipe literature lovers had the opportunity to acquire old Pipe Lovers and Pipe Smoker magazines, books, pamphlets and other such neat stuff. The show ended with a raffle of donated pipes, tobacco and related items.
Raffle tickets cost a dollar each.
If all this wasn't enough, the opportunities to make new friends and see old ones in this hobby was reason alone to attend. And the education one can achieve at a pipe show is incredible. You could do all that, and more, in Columbus. Thanks to all the members of the Ohio Pipe Collectors for a great time. Sounds like a great time was had by all.
