I'd like anybodys opinion on local places to stay I guess I need to look at flight/rental vs drive prices

If you don't like chain hotels and want a bit more charm Hotel Baker in St. Charles and The Herrington in Geneva are pretty slick places. Uber will be my friend since whiskey and tobacco go so well together.

Unless you'd like to be my designated driver.

 

[cgraunke]

Oh, this is getting good.
I was just kind of playing earlier, but now I really want to go and meet all you guys!

Great places but expect to pay at least double the chain prices. I live in Geneva so I can drive your drunk ass around.

 

[Whtwtrman79]

I've never used uber, ie we live in the sticks and that was the concern if I fly and getting too and fro whilst enjoying libations

There are plenty of places to stay nearby that are more modern than Pheasant Run. But we can definitely set up a herf for Saturday night after the dinner (or even meet somewhere for dinner for anyone who doesn't go to the show's dinner)

 

[joe45]

I'm not interested in the pipe show but I will meet up with whoever is around if we can get a herf together.

Same here. La Vita Cigars is right down the street from pheasant run.

This could be a make shift Botl herf

 

[stin187]

This is sounding like it's going to be really cool! Won't know my schedule until much closer but I'm interested for sure.

 

[3/5King]

Count me in for the HERF and possibly the show aswell.

 

[K Williams]

Don't know if I will be able to make it but it's now on my radar.

+1... Same here.

 

[K Williams]

OT: Anyone going to the New York Pipe Show too?

 

[Jfire]

FYI Rob,
Sam A (I believe some of the Chicago locals met him once or twice at my house herfs)
Should have a booth here selling his custom pipes.

Sweet - thanks! I'll definitely look for him there

 

[JustTroItIn]

A bit of a rant....wtf does is this the same weekend as Cigar Fest!? Unless I'm not able to get tickets, I will be in PA that weekend.

 

[AOTL]

Definitely going to try to go. I'm probably only 30 mins away from that area and I am new to the pipe smoking scene. Looking to learn more about the pipe tobacco world.

 

[smokinbodybuilder]

I have every intention of attending one of the days

 

[K Williams]

Our foreman told us today that the next Saturday we'd probably have off will be after Jan. 1, 2016. There goes pretty much all pipe & cigar shows/expos for 2015...

That's terrible but think of all the overtime

Or extra boswells

 

[Tj4orange]

what is this show like? what do you get with your ticket price? is it like cigarfest where you go booth to booth and grab goodies or just really good deals
