Asylum edition/club pipe interest thread

Just an unofficial vote: I REALLY like Jirsa's work, especially the grain on a number of his pieces.

I wasnt too partial to the ones on his site, but this one on fleabay has really nice grain.

The price direct from him is attractive too, but I would rather pay a bit more if the quality is going to be more consistent (some of the comments on pipes.org indicated offcenter draft hole, etc.).

any news on this?

actually no, I have been swamped, but I have spring break next week, so I'll be emailing and making calls then

I like this one.

Can I just say 'Yes!'? I've liked all of the pipes you guys have picked...I am just starting so I'm really open for anything.

[DrDubzz]

well, I'll leave this open for another couple days, but I may just tell Senor Boswell, "make your version of a somewhat bent appleish shape, about half smooth and have rusticated

I like the shapes you guys are picking out. Might I add though, that I am not a big fan of 1/2 smooth 1/2 rusticated.

Is it possible for him to make some and then rusticate the ones that want it?

It would be nice to offer the option if it is doable for him.

Either way though, I am happy. I love Boswell pipes and it is nice to keep it in a decent price range.

I agree with him, I would prefer a smooth bowl over a rusticated on, and would greatly appreciate being able to choose if it is an option - make the pipe a bit more personal and all that

Count me in..I like this one from the link provided by RX2010.



I wonder if it could be done in a smooth finish??

Bravo for Boswell stepping up! We're guaranteed a quality smoker with him at the wheel.

That poker is catching my eye as well. I could use another sitter!

I just wanted to check in again and say that I am on board. Do these club pipes have a logo on them or other info saying they are for CA?

I am interested.

I like the looks and style of this.

From the BOSWELL line I like the individuality of these for a club pipe







How about SENATROV or ZEMIN?

Is BOSWELL the final choice?

I'm not a big pipe smoker (yet) but I would definitely be interested

Tom, I think we're gonna pursue the Boswell route first, as it will be the most cost effective. If that doesn't work out we can try someone else.

Boswell makes great pipes and it's very likely they'd be under 100 bucks, I just need to get ahold of J.M. who happens to be very busy

[TOB9595]

BOSWELL is not a problem, Tim.

First rate workmanship..
I do like his unique styles the best to exemplify this unique community.

alright guys, I'm calling tomorrow, as requested by Mrs Boswell

hopefully I can get JM on the phone for a few and try to figure something out. I will consider all requests, and I'll try to get 1 or 3 options for us to vote on, and hope then just turn it over to the artisan himself.

There are other great makers out there, but I think Boswell is the best combo of price and quality I've seen, plus his pipes are somewhat quirky, so I think that fits this forum pretty well.

if you have any last minute comments or requests or anything, post em up before tomorrow evening

[imthegoal]

I am very very stoked man. I have been talking with them through emails for a couple weeks as well for a personal pipe. I can not wait to see the one for CA.

[Nick]

Good stuff Tim, I'm excited to see what they come up with.
