Color of stain light or dark
Rustication

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.

The only problem I can forsee, is that the carver is in Europe which would give us very little control in the way of problems or whatever, and shipping from Europe...also, iirc, I've seen a picture of a Mario Grandi that was done for a club or forum, and I don't think he embosses the name of the organization in the wood of the shank, but paints it on...wouldn't we be better off with an American carver? I'm sure there are several that would work with us...

there are plenty of great carvers in the US, but most can't do a nice sized pipe with good quality for <100 bucks

Personally, I would prefer a tinsky or something along those lines for 150-200 as this will likely be the only pipe I buy this year, but most don't want to pay that much (understandably)

Anything except a balkan/english...not too fond of massive quantities of latakia, although GLP Odyssey and GLP Raven's Wing are favorites...how about a VA blend or Va/Per?

MarkinAZ · 04-03-2010, 09:47 PM

I would agree on a 2010 CA pipe as long as we keep the work here in the USA (Boswell's come to mind), and would like to throw in the following idea:

A slightly bend Billiard, 6" length and bowl height around 2.25". Possibly the bowl could be 1/3 rusticated on the sides (for those who enjoy rustication)...

drob · 04-03-2010, 10:30 PM

This Tanblast was done by Mark Tinsky for me a few months ago. A shade over 6 inches long, 2 inches tall, 1-1/2 inch dia with Amber stem. $185.00,
shipped. Enough of them and you may be able to get them 15 or 20 dollars cheaper.

I really like that shape but not so much the Tanblast finish. Maybe something in a partially rusticated deep coral? That being said, though, I don't know if I could afford to do one this year, so my opinion shouldn't affect what everyone does.

CA pipe baccy blend Trying to put together a custom blend for CA. Let me know what you guys think..

GreekGodX · 03-24-2010, 04:36 PM

I would love to do a higher end pipe as it will be my only pipe this year too..
