I might be interested, depending on the finances when the time comes, a little less or near to $130 sounds decent.

Jan Zeman does some nice work and is willing to come in with a solid pipe near the price range a club is looking for.

Here's a link. http://www.zemanpipes.com/index.php

not outrageous, but not boring, nice lines.. etc

Zeman has some really good looking pipes!

I'm going to step out and and say max $130 for a custom pipe is what I would be willing to spend.

So I will start putting some money away, from the odd jobs I've doing.

I really want to be a part of 1st year Asylum Club Pipe.

I dont have any money for this, but I just wanted to add that this is an awesome idea. Props to everyone!

I would throw Jurt Huhn into the mix of potential makers. He has a couple lines of pipes that are in or around our price range. It would be hard for most custom carvers to fulfill our requests at our price but if Kurt is willing I think it would be an easy transaction for us to make. His country man line of pipes run from 1000125 dollars. It would also be nice find an American carver for ease and accessibility. Here is his website.

those aren't a bad idea, I've course I find myself liking the 500 buck variety better :-)

i like a pipe with some curve in it so its sitting well below my eye level when i'm puffing, but thats just me. :-)

I would join in for a pipe under $130 (a little lower if possible).
Being from Europe, I would need to know about payment options, but as my wife's parents live in the US I can easily find a way. The pipe would be sent to them and they would then make it come to me. During August I'll be in the US, also.

Zeman and Senatorov seem great. I can go for any type of pipe, except for a full-bent. A poker would be nice.
[Reply]

Poker sounds like a good shape, but I like just about everything. Like a 1/4 bent poker though, that'd be great.

Hopefully we can pull this off somewhere, cause that'd be awesome.
[Reply]

a quarter bent poker would work for me as well
[Reply]

I think this must be fate... I was thinking quarter bent as well, just didn't want to throw too many details into the mix.
[Reply]

Sounds good!

I have not smoked pipes before, but I think a custom made CA pipe, 1st year of CA, first edition, etc. added special aspects would make me get one. Yes, if less then $130, I think I would have to do it.
[Reply]

Ok I don't know what a "poker" looks like, maybe someone can enlighten me.

But I was looking through Zeman web site and these look pretty nice. they are in his club pipe section.

And a 1/4 bent poker

I have his poker called the Fiery Cross, seen here. Wonderful smoker. Although, I'm not partial to smokers for this club pipe thing.

At some point one of us should start to contact these pipemakers to see if they can even fit this into their schedule.

I'm excited, though. Would be nice to have a club pipe.

I think once we get a shape or two as the main choices, I'll start contacting the makers and seeing who can accomodate us

once we have a couple possibilities (or maybe just one depending on responses) we can put it to a final vote
