Joe Lankford fans listen up!

[David M]

Joe Lankford, tobacco blender who makes Plum Pudding and the many other Seattle Pipe Club blends sold at PipeAndCigars.com will be at the West Coast Pipe Show this coming weekend.

Not only will he have a pretty cool work-shop on how to blend your own tobacco but he will also debut his new blend made exclusively for the show and all of its attendees.

The new blend consists of:
Balkan Mixture
Several Orientals
Drama Reserve
Yiminji Supreme
Smyrna No. 1
Red Virginia
Black Stove Virginia

Very aptly he is calling it his 'Las Vegas' blend and he will have several pounds of the stuff for you to fill your pipe with and sample. Each attendee gets a bowl full.

I dont know if you guys have seen the pipe carver list for the show, but its grown over the past few weeks, now including:

Adam Davidson
Michael Lindner
Ryan Quagliata
Michael Parks
Todd Johnson
Bruce Weaver
Christopher Brunton
Charles Cole
and
Jeff Alan Gracik

Carvers that have been with the show early on are:
Paolo Becker - he is bringing 30 EXTRA LARGE pipes
Luigi Viprati
Will Purdy
James 'JT' Cooke
Bob Swanson
and
Ron Fairchild

So basically we will all be in Briar & Tobacco Heaven next weekend.

This is always a great show--it feels like Christmas morning

I love meeting new carvers and trying new blends.
