If I'm missing anyone, please PM me. If you PM'd pics to me, but didn't send them to my email address please send them here: billtheconqueror@gmail.com.

I don't have a solid ETA for results yet, but we are working on them now. I'm concerned that with Christmas coming so quickly, we might be into January. Either way, I'll keep you posted.

*BUMP* Would love to see how all the billiards turned out. I'm looking back at my submission now thinking..."what was I thinking with that one?". Can't wait to see the winner!

You and Nate posted the word 'sucka' on the forum within 6 minutes of each other. What the hell's going on down there?

Oh, and I too think Sparkle Markle heisted the billiards. It was all an elaborate ploy to expand his pipe collection.

I'm just curious, are we ever going to see the entries of this contest? Or have I somehow missed them?

I'd be happy to post a pic from each of the entries if you'd like, but I don't have results yet. I'll have to post those pics tomorrow though.

OK Gents,
Here are pics from each of the entries. They are not named, and there's no significance to the order of the pics. At least one of the judges (as well as someone on the forum) has asked that no information regarding who made what pipe is released for the time being. We're shooting for completely impartial reviews/opinions so please don't disclose anything for now. Enjoy!

I don't have rankings from all three judges yet, but I would be curious to hear what you (any of you not just the entrants) think are the top three pipes below. Please don't post that info though - just PM me. I will not disclose your comments; I'm just curious to see the popular vs professional vote on the contest. Thanks.

Oops! Sorry--I didn't realize I wasn't supposed to name favorites even though I am not in the competition.

Great pipes!
