CORPS Expo Update

We hope that everyone fared well during hurricane Irene. Our Richmond Pipe and Cigar Exposition will a good break during the Columbus Day weekend. Please stop by, share your storm stories, and relax with a bowl of your favorite tobacco or a fine hand rolled cigar.

Just a friendly reminder: please book your room at the Hilton soon, if you haven’t already done so. Our block of rooms, at the special rate, will be released to the public on September 15 and the prices will increase. Please, if possible, book your rooms through our website, www.corpipesmokers.org to get the special rate and to show the hotel that there really are a lot of pipe and cigar smokers out there. The more rooms that we book, the greater our chances of having a show there again next year. Maybe they will have more smoking rooms next year.

It looks like another great exposition is in the works. Lots of new people and participants have rented tables and are anxious to meet you. Don’t forget an extra day or two in Richmond will give you a chance to visit Jamestown, Williamsburg, Yorktown and the Richmond-Petersburg area. Explore history, watch reenactments, shop and dine (don’t forget the Smithfield country ham and the pecan pie). An adventure of historic proportion awaits you here in Virginia.
