Being that Abe is 4500 miles away, is this how you're going to deliver his 500 pounds of salmon first prize?

My no one was the Gustavo Cunha pipe
My second favorite was the Yeti pipe
My second favorite was the Yeti pipe
I really like both of those as well, although I actually preferred Flavia's to Gustavo's. Beautiful in it's simplicity, slightly better blast, and that stem color is super unique.
I think if the Yeti pipe had a different (more universally appreciated) stem color it would have gone further.
The Hasty was a sleeper for sure, I really like that pipe a lot, but I'm into short pipes lately. There is nothing particularly spectacular about any individual characteristic (blast, accent, stem, etc.) but as a whole it really works for me.
That and he had the balls to go chunky on a cutty, which is a damn bold move. First cutty he has ever made!
Based on the success of this contest, Mr. Alaska, I think Kevin should hire you at $50K/year to buy a couple dozen pipes every 3-4 months with his money, and keep running contests until the shape chart is exhausted.
Hahaha, believe me nothing would make me happier, but I think the PM yearly budget probably has a few less zeros
I came into the competition late so I haven't participated with votes, but I have to say it's been an enjoyable match up. The real winner here is the Enabler in Chief. I wouldn't kick any of them out of the pipe stand! An interesting twist to keep the games alive would be to allow forum members to post their prize version of said shape. The Enabler being the emcee could pick the top 10 for the finale. Rules could be negotiated by committee.
The candidate I voted for did not win. Now I feel a compelling urge to storm the capitol.
Too soon?

This was fantastic. Thank you for putting this on!!
I’m glad the spigot won. I’ll be able to sleep at night.

Please don't come near my house.
I guessed 50%, I think I look at pipes too much.
But thank you - this has been such a fun set of threads, I've thoroughly enjoyed it. & you've ended up with some fantastic pipes!

I didn’t comment, ut have been following along. Well done, good fun. Thank you.
I tried to keep my predictions on the makers in the back of my mind. Either way, this competition was one for the ages and while I'd do it if I could, I think this is one of those one-in-a-million opportunities. Not a bad one in the bunch and a few that may very well become legendary. Thank you for sharing @alaskanpiper .
They are all great looking cuttys but that Yuwei shheeesh is it ticklin my fancy
