So is anyone going to this pipe show in New Orleans? I just registered. Looks like there will be lots of vendors. Should be a good time.

Also there's a great looking limited edition pipe being offered. See below.

Those are very nice looking pipes. Sadly, I'm not going to be attending. BUT I've read in previous postings from the Chicago, NY/NJ shows etc. members took plastic baggies with them as some of the vendors gave out samples of baccy in the travels around the seminars and shows. @The_Rev I know is a fellow piper and from the area. Maybe he might be attending???

Most interesting is the Perique factory tour for $35. I'm very interested in going to that. My mom was born in St James Parish where Perique is manufactured. It's in my blood.

My dads side were also farmers from St James Parish. Hester, Louisiana. They grew perique back in the 40-50's I was told. I believe the perique farm they're mentioning is owned by the Matherne family, but I could be wrong.

My mom is from Donaldsonville.

I heard that the Perique tour was booked and that there's now a waiting list.
