This is so exciting. Can’t wait to see which carver bears the mark of the lord.
No, each matchup will have it's own thread so voting isn't confusing, I'll probably do two matchups each week.
This looks like a lot of fun! Can't wait to see the pipes!................. VERY COOL!!
Wait, what?
Wow...that almost deserves its own thread.

Could you post a link to the new threads on this one? I’m sure it would help those of us who don't want to miss the action.
Nice thing about this thread is it will give us something original to talk about.
Little blasted cutty pipes, awesome! I feel strongly that the feet should be an important judging criteria. They need feet.
Here's an appetizer (think bacon-wrapped fig, or smoked salmon on a crostini)
(yeah, it's straight, yeah, it's a quarter inch too long, and yeah, it's a smoove not a blast, but it weighs 1.2 oz and the FEEL is there...)

Frank, this is a great idea my man. Really getting everyone fired up about what is possible when you focus your PAD. Next level stuff brother. Gonna be fun guessing the carvers but tough to keep it quiet.
Another appetizer.
(Sorry, but cuttys are SUCH a cool shape, and SO rarely seen in briar that I get all excited 'n' shit when the spotlight swings their way)
This one's too big, but has the bend and the Blast Thing happening:

Your 7 day Alaska themed set was phenomenal. This set sounds like it will be amazing.
I can only imagine how much fun it will be to smoke through them all and get to know each one.
Can't wait to see them!

Did you tell the carvers you were putting this contest together?! Now I have to wonder what I’ve seen already on IGPC 
I'm looking forward to this! The Carolina blue one is definitely going to win!
Yeah I was wondering if they know he's going to let this rabble judge their creations.
Another example is Diplomat vs Rhodesian vs Author vs etc. i.e. The belge and cutty overlap zone (think Venn diagram) triggers a shape debate that will never be settled.
None of which matter to me since I like 'em all.
I like the ambiguity so yeah, that's me. I also like the shape even though I don't have a "traditional" cutty in my stable.
