Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

Christos (Greekgodx) broached the topic to me. So if there's enough interest one or both of us will head that up.

Do you guys want a 2010 pipe? Do we want a Boswell again? Something perhaps slightly more... refined? Let me know in this thread. We'll go from there

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

You know I'm in.

My thoughts are we don't want to make it too expensive, but something a little more higher end would be cool.

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

I would be interested pending the costs....

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

Also interested, depending on the final price.

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

well go ahead and post up what your max price would be

for me, I don't know since it will depend when they need to be paid for. I have little to no disposable income now, but will this summer after I graduate

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

I passed last year due to some financial issues. But I am more than game this year.

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

I really wanted to get in on that quagliata pipe on ICC but didn't have any idea of what my tax return would be, well now I know so I could be game depending on price and maker.

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

Nick, I passed because I don't care for the pipe, plus I have one similar that I do care for.

I had higher hopes for the ICC pipe. But alas, we have some flexibility here.

As for ours, I would love to cap it at $100 so more people will be interested, but that really limits what we can do. But not everyone wants to shell out 150-200 bucks.

you guys just let me know, and we'll figure it out. We might be able to get RQ to do it, or the Boswells... maybe Jake Hackert, I could talk to him, but he doesn't do sandblasts that I know of. Throw out suggestions

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

I was sorry I passed last year. I have been smoking my pipes more often lately and would be interested in this years for sure.

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

I am interested.

Also could someone post pictures of previous any previous ones?

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

i found some pictures:

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

i know spending over $100 isn't what people want to do with their money in most circumstances... but you're hamstringing yourself in choices by keeping the cost below $100. how many carvers out there make pipes, or would consider making a forum pipe of the year, that would come down to that price (other than Boswell and maybe a big company that does machine mades from europe)?

mark tinsky can get it done for barely over $125, if you want to keep the shape simple, the pipe in the smaller side (his size 4 or 5), and you get his "coral carved" finish.

another to possibly ask, ozarkmountainbriars.com's David Johnson, he's back making pipes, but i don't know how many he's making... he's famous for his "pokerdog" shape, and his prices are reasonable.

just an idea... i'm not taking part, but figured i'd throw that out there.

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

I just went to his site, and I gotta say, he does pretty work! :tu

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

I do like that pokerdog!

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

I like the pokerdog as well. However, seeing as we did a poker last year, I would prefer something a little different. just my opinion.

Like this Ozark Mountain Briars Bent Dublin with Sapele Inlay?

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

Any interest in a Canadian style pipe? Though I'd be down for anything really.

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

I'd be down for a dublin shape, or a Lovat

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

I'd be down for a dublin shape, or a Lovat

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

ah, i wasn't in on last years pipe... you all did a boswell, if i remember... didn't know it was a poker.
either way, good luck with it all. i think i posted a link to something trevor talbert wrote about "fun with forum pipes"... it's a good quick read when embarking this journey, i've re-read it a few times.

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

I'm interested depending on the shape and the price, but bent or slightly bent only...don't care for straight pipes..

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

I have a David Johnson pipe. It smoke really well, great grain and a very reasonable price, and I have no problem supporting a local carver.

The Boswell looks great though.

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

I'm down with either david johnson or mark tinsky. A dublin would be sweet.

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

figured you would, don't you get to smoke with him at that new place in Rogers? :)

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

I'm interested too, depending upon $$

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

Yeah,although recently it's rare. I believe the last time I saw him was at our clubs slow smoking competition. He makes some very attractive pens as well.

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

So what do we want? a 1/4-1/2 bent dublin? If that's the case, we can get moving

otherwise, we need to agree on something

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

Sounds good to me...

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

I've been thinking of trying out the pipe lately. If I did get one of these I'd want the 1/2 bent one I think.

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

I wonder if Mario Grandi takes custom orders, he would be affordable and good quality

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

1/4 bent Dublin would be a great shape! :tu

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

:tpd:

Tim how about a poll with deadlines? just a thought....

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

I have 3 of his and agree they are affordable

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

That's coming. This thread was made to see if we even wanted to do this.

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

I also had to pass last year due to some finances. But I would very much like to participate this year. Also I would very much like to get a boswell:tu

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

I'm going to try and get in contact with Mario Grandi. His pipes seems to review quite well, they look great, and most are under 100 bucks.

But I don't know that he'll do a club pipe, so we'll see

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

Hey, everyone do me a favor, go to Ebay, and search Mario Grandi


They have done club pipes in the past so I would like for you to take a look at their shapes and finishes etc. And see if we can find something there. They make very nice pipes for <$100, so I think everyone would be able to get in on this.

I haven't committed to anything, but they seem like a good option, let me know what you see and like. He carves about every shape so if we want a Dublin or something along those lines I'm sure it would be no problem

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

Looks good to me:tu

I like the first one that RX posted and the one that Greek posted.

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

poker dog for the win! AND yes i am all ears to hear the final outcome for this

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

I am game on either... Tim out of curiosity... how many options are we looking at? Here are a few some may want...

Color of stain light or dark
Rustication
stem inlay

Here is one I got for $60....

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

Not sure what the general senses is for shapes, But I would be excited to see a Blowfish/ Poker'isk Pipe... or just a straight Dublin. :tu

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

all of those are in play, but we need a shape first

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

Another thing I'll probably start a new thread but I'm looking into getting our own blend of baccy :)
