Year Pipes 2010

[porkolt]

Hi everyone,
To help combat my huge pipe expenses, I've decided to experiment with limiting my expensive purchases to just one pipe per year - to be bought for my birthday (august 20th), and to come from one of the limited edition year pipe lines (which I know there are more of out there).
My parents have been so thoughtful to offer to make the purchase for me as a gift, and though I've found a few good examples already, I'm having trouble locating more than about three or four manufacturers releasing these. Either these kinds of lines must be rarer than I thought, or I'm just not looking hard enough.
Could you guys help me out with finding more of these pipes?

Pork! Hi and welcome to the PM forums... you've come to the right place!

Here are some limited Editions and Pipes of the Year to help out.

Other members may have many more links to help you out.

Welcome Pork,
I have to stick my 2 cents in on this one.

I love the art produced by Claudio Cavicchi.

No two are alike, they are always top shelf quality.

Even his lowest grade pipes are excellent smokers.

My thoughts are: If you are going to spend the money on a "Limited Edition" pipe, why not spend it on a ONE OF A KIND of superior quality?

Here is a link to my local pipe shoppe, the only place in the states that sell Claudio's pipes. Claudio Cavicchi Pipes

Claudio also has his own site just Google his name.

IF I had been in the navy instead of the artillery I would get this:

Mark Tinsky releases several club pipes such as his PSF POY for 2010 (which is his author/tomato mashup shape) as well as his line of Christmas pipes. That might be something to consider. His pipes are very well engineered and worth the money.

Hi Porkolt,
I face the same problem with my expenses, and my wife has taken the partial control.

Perhaps i´ll follow your good idea.
