Peck, you've got an Alden or two, don't you? If they smoke anything like mine, you've got some pretty nice pipes.

Congrats Ryan, saw your pipe and it was a beauty.

I am lucky enough to have 2 Aldens myself and I just want to say they are fantastic pipes! Looking to add to the collection and I hope the wait won't get too long now!! LOL.

Yep, met Ryan here at the show and have suckered him into doing a couple pipes commission for me. But really all these guys have amazing work, but I have to give props to my fellow texans Jesse and Ryan and former Texan Tyler.

It was awesome seeing the winners and the rest of the entries in person. So many good pipes.

It was a great contest with some damn good pipes competing !

All of the judges agreed, selecting winners was an excruciating process this year. I couldn't have done it ! The quality of the pipes submitted was just astounding.

I have to give props to my fellow texans Jesse and Ryan and former Texan Tyler.

Actually, it's not three but FOUR Texans in this years set! Colin Rigsby is also from the Lone Star State !

To top that off, the winner of the set is from Houston !

I was also quite happy to Jesse win this year. I bought one his pipes last year so I can claim I knew him before he became a Star!
