Editor’s Note: Quietly, there are a few people beginning to wonder about the IPCPR show in Orlando next year. The main reason for the concern is that Orlando’s City Council (and Mayor) have been on anti-smoking crusade as of late.

We are fifty-five days out from the start of the IPCPR tradeshow in Las Vegas. Brands are quietly showing off their “secret” unannounced products for the show, nightlife is being planned, and, there is still zero word on bloggers and their status in the show.
