So, for the past few weeks Quinton and I went on a judge hunt to find a replacement for Tad. Since the GKCPC takes the contest very seriously, and the entrants put in many hundreds of hours of work collectively, a placeholder would not do. We wanted someone of personal substance and vast experience who shared our obsession with absolute objectivity and the Pursuit of Perfection. Someone who was highly respected in the PipeWorld by both collectors and carvers, and had unimpeachable character and integrity in the real world.
We found exactly what we were looking for.

He needs no introduction. Not just in North America, but anywhere in the world that fine pipes are collected or made.
Adam Davidson.
