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

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.

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

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

I'm interested too, depending upon $$
[Reply]

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.
[Reply]

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
[Reply]

Sounds good to me...
[Reply]

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.
[Reply]

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

1/4 bent Dublin would be a great shape! :-)
[Reply]

:-)

Tim how about a poll with deadlines? just a thought....
[Reply]

I have 3 of his and agree they are affordable
[Reply]

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

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:-)
[Reply]

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
[Reply]

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
[Reply]

Looks good to me:-)
