Looking to start a weekly poker game with some friends and I'm looking to pick up a good poker chip set. I've never looked at these before, so I'm asking for some recommendations. I would like a set that feels a bit sturdy and heavy, and trying to stay under $100. Something cigar themed would be nice.

IT's funny the forum that I lived on before coming here was a poker chip one. We used to have two regular games a week... but then everyone moved away and left me here pokerless
![]() Anyway for not much money you can get a good set of faux clay chips, MUCH better than plastic IMHO. I will give you the link. If this is not cool, Mods feel free to delete it www.chiptalk.net the site of sites for poker chips |

BUT that said we played with a Costco plastic set for three years so even a clay composite would have been a step up from that. What do you like, solid colors or spots? |

I got caught up in the whole chip thing, was about to pull the trigger on a custom ceramic set before my game fell apart. These are pics of the prototype... makes me sad just looking at the now ![]() ![]() So to be honest I may be the wrong one to give advice... I like poker chips. The bottom line to me I guess is it doesn't matter, as long as you are playing. But there are some nicer feeling and sounding chips out there. These are a nice set, I have some samples of these. I was going to print labels and make my own custom set. The boys do that alot. This is a good place for some research if you want to read a few reviews. I liked right to the injection molded stuff as I think that is what you are looking for. pokerchipreviews.com Just to straight up kill you you can have a 300 pc custom set of ceramic chips for a little over $300. These are not Chipco (like in the casinos) but there are SWEET!! you do not want to click this link... poker chips are a slippery slope as well |

back about 4 years ago i was able to pickup a "late model" set of chips on ebay for hella cheap... (basically, i bought a brand new 2002 model overstock in 2004... that's what i mean by late model)
very nice 11 gram clay chips in very "casino like" colors...yellow ...wait, lemme just snap a pic.. i believe i payed like 95.00 shipped for 500 chips, they said the "retail" was like 300.00.... ![]()

Paulson makes some of the best chips available. Not the cheapest chips available by any means, but very high quality. I have a Paulson tophat & cane 500 chip set in 11.5g weight.
