I can't discern a pattern. He will often produce a series of shapes for several months and suddenly replace them with something new. Some have filters, others do not. All of mine to this point have not had filters. My latest addition does. We'll see if I like it as much.Fr_Tom":ifr8vin2 said:The XL Classic Autograph appeals to me except for the filter.

With what i have seen in the past he makes available different shapes and styles for a while then maybe it's like an artist viewpoint were perhaps he just get's bored and moves onto something new and challenging just to mix and spice things up a bit. It's what has kept me wanting more as i keep checking his site regularly to see what is new and available. There has been a few in the past that i have not won one was a flat panel Corona that was half rusticated and the rest had an amazing birds eye pattern and the other was an partcial plateu autograph with both a 9mm & non filter stem with a tamper in a presentation box that i still keep checking 8 months later to see something similar. The flat panel went for $70.00 and the autograph went for around $250.00. As pipe funds have been drained as of late it's been a blessing i haven't seen them. I am sure if there was something specific a person wanted all it would take is to contact Roman and make a reasonable offer and he would make it happen if you didn't want wait for certain shapes and styles to come available again.Fr_Tom":r1djra2o said:The XL Classic Autograph appeals to me except for the filter.

TNagel Just wondering how you like your filtered to the non filtered Polinski.Tnagel89":igtp2w8u said:Thank you! The first to arrive was a non filter and the poker will be a filter. I typically do not smoke with a filter, but I will be sure to report what the smoke is like with and without it!
That's a beautiful bent apple DP. Looks to be the perfect size. Although I like my larger sized Polinski's I think he would sell more pipes if he offered his shapes and styles in variety of sizes. Not everyone is into Magnum & Massive pipes. Myself I prefer pipes that can be clentched leaving your hands free to work.desertpiper":lnycmcjs said:
