I'm late on answering this, but no, there are none in Texas.

Thanks for info. Let me know if possible when and where they might have one. Also, if they have one close by in adjoining state.

I doubt there will be a show in Texas anytime soon without a major change in smoking laws in the big cities. The closest show I know of is in Kansas City.

No show in Kansas City this year

I haven't heard about St. Louis, which is normally in February. Has anyone else?

But, man, we sure do need a show in Texas.

One thing you might want to check into, though, is plugging into some local pipe/tobacco clubs.

Patrick,

If a local tobacco store or the DFW Smokers could pull together a plan and private location as a private event the Dallas area could have such a show. They may be able to get around some of the local smoking laws by making it a private event.
The Chicagoland Pipe Show did such a thing this year. I listened to a podcast over at http://homepage.mac.com/venessa1/OomPaul.com/index.html
They made the people entering the event pay a fee of $15.00 fee to join as a club member and this is how they were able to get around the smoking laws since it was a private club event. The event had people attend from every part of the world.
I live in Dallas and can be of assistance if needed.

Possibly contace the following tobacco store in Arlington, Texas who might be interested: "Tobacco Road" <tobacco_road@sbcglobal.net>

PS.. I don't see why there would be a problem if there was no smoking at the pipe shows shows??? Can't there be shows without lighting up?

Patrick,

Yes there could be no smoking at a pipe show, if all else failed. I would assume those attending would not be happy if this was the case. Hopefully a local store would be willing to put such a needed event together. I’ll talk with some of the local tobacco stores the next time I am them. I would suggest you do the same when you are at them.
I hope to attend the Jan. ’09 DFW Pipe Smokers club meeting. I will bring the topic up there.
