Show Off Your Caption Contest Prizes Here!

AWESOME!! Congrats

Nice Tyler! Congrats on the cool prizes! Now lets talk about your beard... I'm really diggin it! Much better than my little grey scraggly one.
A few months ago I won a nice little Rossi apple shape and a Savinelli T-shirt that my wife got as it was a little small for me. It was my first Rossi pipe and I'm impressed, it's a well made pipe and a great smoker. I keep looking at the Rossi 320, very reasonable and no filter.

That's a year worth of growth?? Good lord man, what's in the water out there???? :rofl:

I think we need to have a beard etiquette thread.

Surprised no other caption contest winners posted here.

It was last year but here's my prize ... a Rossi Napoli 601 (Rossi Rubino Canadian underneath it):

I experienced a total score here. By the graces of Kevin and the other contest judges, and the patience of Smoking Pipes, I received today prizes from two contests. In December 2015 I won a tshirt and two tins of exciting tobacco. In February 2016, I was fortunate to score a second place prize of a lovely Savinelli pipe and tshirt. Owing to glitches in the postal system, the first prize was delayed until today, when the staff at Smoking Pipes re-sent it along with the newer prize, at their expense. As you can see, this is a heck of a beautiful pipe with (I bench tested it) a great draw.
But wait, there's more.

Cosmic of Cosmic Folklore Studios heard my query about Dark Flake and answered it with a most generous sample! Since this is likely my only chance for some time to sample it, and it smells delicious, that was quite the act of kindness. In addition, Steve (Dawning, Nothing Left) from No God Only Pain sent their most recent disc as well. What a day at the mailbox!
Thank you to all. To Kevin and team for the contest, to Smoking Pipes for their willingness to work around the postal follies, to Steve for the "roadhouse dark metal" and to Cosmic for the gracious sample.

Here are the three tins I won a while back. I enjoy the Autumn Evening. Learning the Briar Fox and haven't tried the other tin yet.

Burley Flake No.1 -- you're in for a treat!

I was fortunate enough to win second place in the September 2016 caption contest. The prize arrived today after UPS follies the first time.
It arrived along with a t-shirt trade from texmexpipe (with bonus generous samples of some tobaccos I am looking forward to trying) and a classic recording sent as a promo by Eulogy. Good haul and thanks all!
