Nice and tough match between the Far West and Greece's Far North-West

@Mr Tree an honor to compete against a set of yours

 

[Mr Tree]

Likewise, beautiful chips. Right now this looks like it will be a razor margin.

Voted for Horseshoe Pesta, but it's so close.
Hitching 5k is a piece of art chocolate delight, it requires special recognition....

Tough vote. I love @Coyote’s Horseshoe set, but it’s hard to vote against fully custom CPC’s, especially small crowns.

Wow hadn't seen these @Mr Tree . . . congrats! Love the 25K chip.

That's maroon...

So why I want to eat it?

Fixation for putting things in your mouth?

I am not a maroon, you are maroon...

 

[Coyote]

That's maroon...

That is NOT the point

@flipupchipup calls that one the quintessential Hitching Post chip.

 

[Mr Tree]

Part of what makes this matchup tough IMO is how wildly divergent stylistically these two sets are. The Pestas have that ultra refined Aria kind of vibe. The Wagon Wheels are much rougher, rustic, and kind of vintage.

This is why I do this.

Hah! Part of the tacit inspiration for the Pesta 1895 chips have been the six-footed and eight-footed threatening insects in this rocky mountainous region (mainly spiders and scorpions, plus you name it). So, harshly rustic, in a way (mine).
It takes a thorough shake-down of the 1895 house before you can sleep in serenity. Pretty fast, if you 're experienced.
I 'll be there tomorrow for a long week-end and come up with pics

More speaking stylistically! Your chips look like something from a high end game to me. Mine are supposed to look worn by design.

Yeah, I was talking about the source of inspiration, which can be pretty deceptive (which I like; aren't we poker fans?)

Looks like brick walls...nothing a blow torch can't cure.

Two-foot-thick stone walls. Fortress. Perfect insulation from rare summer heat and from usual winter bitter cold, provided the fireplace has been burning for some hours, in the latter case.

Can I vote for both? I want both!
Great work fellas!

Cheers from Pesta! Managed to get up here for a long week-end

Extras: some agrarian and household utensils and tools of old:

Including my grandpa's pocket watch. Not sure if he got in NY, where he worked from 1904 to 1911 in a diner on 5th avenue. Today, the latter is a florist's store.

Conrgrats @Mr Tree !

 

[Mr Tree]

Thanks! I knew this would be close. Beautiful chips you have there and how you enjoy them.
