2015 BOTL Pipe of the Year

[cgraunke]

He is due for a trip around the ToWL.

Yeah, I think I might have filled his last one, and that was a while ago...

 

[SeaGarr]

So when will we be able to put or orders in?

Soon. I do have some updates, though!

I like #1

As was mentioned in the final polling thread, the 2015 BOTL Pipe of the Year will be made by Jason Cochey of Briar Bird Pipes.

I received a couple in progress pictures from J today, showing the increased angle of the bowl many of the members were requesting.

 

[cgraunke]

I don't think we need another poll in order to move forward with the above change to the bowl angle, but if anyone feels we should please speak up now.
I want to hear your thoughts. If there are no objections by the end of the day tomorrow (Friday 6/12) I will let J know that we will continue as planned.
As soon as this bowl angle issue is decided, we will start talking more about deposits/payments, etc.

It's kind of growing on me lol. If I'm passing up a limited edition watch that I was trying to get 2nd hand and falls through. I'm seriously considering getting one of these....

 

[SailorAg]

I like the revised pipe!

 

[mikeman84]

I like the new angle

 

[stin187]

I dig the new angle. Not so extreme I'm worried about dumping the bowl while clenching but enough to stand out.

 

[Deadman's Point]

It's excellent... blast those bad boys.

 

[Whtwtrman79]

Yeah I like it too, are we going to poll stem color or stain?

 

[cgraunke]

Yeah I like it too, are we going to poll stem color or stain?

No, that was part of the artist's design this time around.

 

[JustTroItIn]

Pleased with the design here. My compliments to Jason Cochey.

With hat canted bowl you'll be thankful for the black stain

J just finished up a practice one so he's prepared to hit our batch with all the kinks worked out:

If anyone has the scratch available and wants to have a matched pair, one green/black stem, one red/black stem, it's up for grabs on his IG account right now!

(only one of these available - you might have to fight me for it )

So what's the inside diameter of the revised design? I'm sure this was already posted, but I missed it.

 

[cgraunke]

I guess I didn't ask. Assumed it was the same, just angled more, but I'll ask now!

That is pretty sweet looking.
