Four of the last five have tickled my fancy. One of the five didn't get my eye until after people had them in hand and we're posting pictures of them. I missed that one. Oh well. The Dustin Franc pipe didn't appeal to me so I didn't buy it. Don't regret that decision.
The ones I have. I love to smoke and I'll pull them out of their socks just to look at them on occasion. They have been masterfully made and smoke amazingly. I'll out them up against many pipes that cost twice as much. I do save up all year for a lot of them but they are worth it.
I also may need to commission an Askwith pipe after getting this one. I don't know if I would have gone to him for a pipe before this. I had only seen what he has sent out to SP.
Other clubs do POTY. Some of them come in different finished and grades. They are also easy enough to get in on. Depending on the year, the year and the club they can be between $100-200.
