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. :tu

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

all of those are in play, but we need a shape first

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

Another thing I'll probably start a new thread but I'm looking into getting our own blend of baccy :)

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

That little pipe is cool as sh!t. For my part, I'm prefer partial rustication with a lighter stain, thanx to a pipe I got from RX2010. Thanks again bro! :tu

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

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...

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

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)

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

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

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

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

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

if you guys want to keep it american, here's Tinsky's page with his normal shapes and prices per finish. http://ssl.cybersun.com/scripts/webc...57757~1~103002

so we could try to just do one of his shapes and you could pick your own finish or something along those lines. I really like the bulldog on the first page

just an idea

edit - I like the canadian too

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

Some decent shapes there. #11 looks cool as does #3. I'd be willing to bet if we ordered enough pipes, there might be a chance to get a discount.

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

Kirk Bosi could probably get it done for a shade under 200 as well, he did a nice pipe for IPC a couple years ago

Re: Do we want a 2010 CA pipe?
 

I don´t think I'll be interested, but consider this pipe carver, from South Africa:
