Me. I never win anything but last night I attended the IPSD event at Jr Cigars in NJ hosted by the New Jersey Fellowship of Pipe Smokers. A wonderful time with about 20 people from the Host club, NY Pipe Club, Philadelphia's Morley's Pipe Club and myself from The Lehigh Valley Pipe Club.
There were several prize drawings and, unbelievably, I won 3 items.
The first was a Sutliff coffee mug with a pack of bristle pipe cleaners. The second was a full set of Deactur pipe cleaning products. The third was a real shocker. JR's donated a Savinelli pipe for the evening and I also won that. The curious things abut the Sav is that there is no stamping on the pipe except for the word "Italy" on the bottom. It almost looks as if the stamping was entirely buffed out. I can't imagine why that would be the case as it's a new pipe. Anyway, here are some pictures of my booty.
I want to thank the NJ pipe club for an outstanding evening with great people.

ANOTHER pipe!! Interestingly, I purchased a brand new Savinelli Grezza Natural a while ago that only has the Sav logo and "Italy" embossed on the bowl.

Guess I'm going spend part of the day trying to find which line this pipe comes from.

Well, I just went through all 1,364 Savs on smokingpipes and, while I saw that exact kind of rustication, no pipe had the reddish color and the two gold bands. Sooo, I guess you can thank me for nothing. Sorry.

Mike, I bought tickets for the auction and "won" the Deactur pack. The pipe was donated by JR's and they pulled my name. After 3 wins it was a bit embarrassing but I got over it.
