Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

Well... SlowT's Boswell thread has broached the idea of a CA edition pipe.

If we are serious about this, it'd be good to know who would be genuinely interested, approx. price range, style and maker.

It'd be great to have the Boswells do it, but of course that may not be feasable for them (in a timely manner anyway). So we may want some other options.

So lets start at the beginning, who is interested, and give a rough price range

1. rx2010 ($80-130)

2. JaKaacH ($79-129)

I'm trying to watch my budget Mr Mobile 1:D

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

I'm all in on something like this! Especially if Boswells are able to do it.

1. rx2010 ($80-130)
2. JaKaacH ($79-129)
3. Nabinger16 ($81-131) High roller so far!

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

this sounds very awesome!

1. rx2010 ($80-130)
2. JaKaacH ($79-129)
3. Nabinger16 ($81-131)
4. sixpacksunday ($79.50-130.50) pinching pennies!

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

You are a bunch of tools :r

But I'm happy to see the interest

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

How about Senatorov? He makes great pipes! Is he on CA yet? I would be interested in a pipe up to $130! I can't go higher then that though.

Will it be the same shape/design for everyone? do you have any idea on design?

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

You just BSing? LOL! :D

You funny! :hf

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

Right now I just want to gauge interest in the idea. It would be one shape with different finish options. In all likelihood

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

Well since I started this mess, its only right I join in. I would like to keep it under 130, but I could probably manage to go a little bit over...:tu

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

$50-$100 for a 'newbie' model, not that you'd probably go so low.

Possible pipemakers.

1. Senatorov

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

I'm in for this. I will go anywhere up to $150

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

I might be down and the price range for me is pretty much covered.

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

so we've got roughly 10 folks down for this (and I'm sure others will show interest later)

so as far as potential makers go, we've had Boswell and Senatorov suggested, and that other fellow, Zeman, who I've not heard of really, but his stuff looks good.

Obviously there are a lot of great artisan makers, but price may become an issue. So if anyone has any larger maker suggestions fire away. I figure Savinelli/Stanwell etc could all be possibilities.

Also, what about shapes? probably nothing too crazy, lets hear your ideas

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

As far as shape goes, I've been looking for a poker lately. I'm cool with any shape though, whatever the masses want.

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

Poker sounds good to me too.

Savinelli and Stanwell may be hard to get to do a club pipe. Usually those go to smaller guys, who can take individual order.

I like the idea of Senatorov. I think he'd be up for it and would do a great job within budget.

Jan Zeman does a good job, made 7 club pipes, one for each day of the week, for 7 years. Never heard one bad thing about him, and love his pipe.

Either way, I'm perfectly happy with any of the suggestions thus far!

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

a good read:
http://talbertpipes.blogspot.com/200...oup-pipes.html

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

that is a good read, I hope everyone will take a minute to read it

This is why I'd like to get a shape or two that everyone likes, run it by a maker or two, and see who can work with us

then once we have an agreement for production, I would like to have everyone paid up ahead of time, so we can lump sum the maker and make his life easier

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

Thanks for the article. Keeping that info in mind will definitely make this whole process go more smoothly and might end up giving the Asylum an "easy to work with" name with a pipe maker.

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

which would be a good thing. I'd like to approach the maker, say, can you make 12 x "bent apple" (for example) @ $110 each shipped

and maybe have two finish options. where maybe the pipe isn't super ornate, but it's well-made, good looking, and commemorates our first full year as a pipe forum

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

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

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

I really like something along these lines
http://www.zemanpipes.com/pipe.php?pipe_id=69

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

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

Zeman has some really good looking pipes!

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

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

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

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.

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

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

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

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. :)

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

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.

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

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.

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

a quarter bent poker would work for me as well

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

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.

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

Sounds good!

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

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.

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

this is a basic poker shape

And a 1/4 bent poker

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

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.

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

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

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

I´m up for any style, but my preferences would go to:

Poker - Zulu - Egg - Bulldog, in order of preference (a Churchw. would be top of the list, if the price range allows for it - it would make a very stylish club pipe...)
Straight to 1/4 bent are my favorites.

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

I would definitely be interested. Under $150 would be about my limit. I am kind of partial to bent pipes like a bent apple, preferably a darker color with a smooth finish I don't mind a rusticated or freehand though they are also cool as long as they smoke well.

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

That's a beautiful poker.

I too vote quarter bent poker. I would like to see it rusticated as well. :)

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

Just a note; a rusticated pipe would keep the cost down, for those of which this would be an issue.

I have both, so I can go either way. With pipes, that is.

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

I don't own any rusticated pipes... Sounds like a good time to add one to the collection.

Am I easy or what? :D

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

I think it would be good to have an option of rusticated or a smooth finish.

I could go for either depending on how they turn out

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

I'm not quite sure if what I saw was an apple or what, but I like the idea of either a bent or straight stem (if choices are possible), with a nice round bowl. Preferably finished.

Looking at it, I think an apple would be what I mean, also in a dark color.

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

Anything is fine. I like my pipes to be like my women! All shapes and sizes!! :wo

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

:D This guy knows what he's saying lol

Re: Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread
 

I'm down for a club pipe. Preferably under a hundred, but can go over.

I like the idea of a quarter bent poker. Partially rusticated with a smooth rim.
