Indeed. To me, that seems to promote the desired vintage vibe, but I could be wrong.
The brown one might come off as a little too bland... I could see that.

Here's a take with the non-denom at the end. I kinda like the balance here.

I like where you’re going with this
Reworked the brown "cigar" chip and I think I fell in love.
On numerous other sets, I hate the "V" pattern. But for some reason, I think it's beautiful here. It was extremely hard to make brown pretty (many iterations, including the one above, looked like literal crap), but this seems darn close.
Also tweaked the $20 to make it cheaper and still super cool, I think.
This may be final. Loving everything at the moment. One slight concern would be the adjacent maroon edge spots if the brown chip is a nickel. But I can't say I expect to play those stakes very often.

Beautiful colors! Just something I'd note: as a cigar lover and smoker, I wouldn't have my brown chip be the one I rarely use. I know its not a conventional color but you've got some fantastic choices, and I like your brown design better than your current quarter.
Do whatever you'd like, love the theme and the chips.

For me, they are perfect except for the 5. You've got a really good 3-spot progression going on all the chips but the 5. Just for kicks I'd try a 5 with the same edge spots as the 1 and 20, or even the same edge spots it has now but with only 3 of them, 2 orange and 1 yellow. Just seems odd that the 5 explodes in complexity and then the 20 settles back down.
Do NOT mess with any of your colors.

Have you thought about dropping "card" from the name? I kind of like Burn Club or even Club Burn
Makes a lot of sense. We rarely need nickels and I'm not sure we'll ever need $100s. So I might end up making this non-denom a show'em or bounty chip mostly, to be honest.
I wouldn't want a non-$5 red nor a non-$1 white. And of course I don't want to recolor the whole set.
But I could consider swapping the brown and yellow as you suggest. Or maybe brown $20, black frac, yellow non-denom. The brown might be fairly complex for a frac but possibly doable.
I see what you're saying. But the red is supposed to be the "flame" or "fire" chip. So it kinda needs these colors and the spark of complexity. I still see it fitting in with the 3 motif because it's 2x3. And some of the others are 3 double spots (for a total of 6 spots).
Plus, in most of our games, the $1 is definitely the workhorse, then the $5 is the largest chip that will see regular use. I like the idea of having a flashy chip to indicate when a bigger bet is crossing the line. But I don't want that flashiness to be as rare as the $20 will be.
Decent thought but I already have a bunch of "Burn Card Club" supplies. And the play on "burn card" is supposed to be part of it.
@NotRealNameNoSir
Wait... duh...
I can keep the yellow quarter (simple frac) but swap the brown to the $20 and the black to the $100/non-denom.
Then it matches Vegas and makes the cigar a fancy, coveted, large-but-attainable chip in most games.
Will experiment with that in the coming days.

Are you planning on getting in on this B mold run? You might check to confirm with David on the cutoff. I just placed an add on last week and I believe cutoff is sometime in May.

Good stuff, I like that solution. Agreed, love your reasoning. Just didn't want the beautiful maduro to sit by the wayside during most games lol.
How about this? It's bit more expensive, but not much.
This lineup makes my least favorite design (white) to be the least used chip instead of the workhorse. And it makes a much more fun design (black) the workhorse.
Only challenge might be that it's part Vegas and part not. Would that confuse anyone?
Everyone says to do what makes me happy. But it would make me happy to have non-confused players. So I'm curious if a a red 5 would make people think Vegas then lead to confusion upon seeing a black chip that's not $100?

I think this looks great!
Your players will adjust to the colors just fine. My current set has red 1's and yellow 5's, and it took a group of casino players used to white/red about 2 hands to get used to it.
Well bust my buttons. We may have ourselves a set.
Last thought might be swapping the 3DS316 with the 3DS18 to make it cheaper. But I might like the current thin orange better. Will experiment.

That’s awesome, had no idea
Few tips:
For collectible type, try Table Chips. It cuts out all the tickets, matchbooks, and slot tokens.
Mold names are different- THC is H&C with all the variants. B mold is Dia-B. Others are close.
If you select a chip- the image pops up. If you select the number, the chip and details pop up. Quick view gets you the rest in a table format. They also have order cards from TRK, Mason, Burt, and some others that will explain when and colors (colors are often wrong).
Once you get the hang of it, it’s really useful.
Anything better or worse about this inlay? Is it weird to be re-using the same Phoenix design three times?
Still deciding what symbol I'd use for the non-denom.
And here's the OLD for comparison:

Old is more better.

+1 for old. On the new, the denoms get pretty small and hard to see. Mock up a set of the old with "card-club" done in the same grey as the denomination color. It might turn up the symmetry a notch and make "burn" stand out a bit more.
Better? Worse?
Wanted to nix that rectangle/bar between BURN and CARD CLUB because it just seemed kinda chunky and arbitrary. Filled that space with the city instead, which is quite relevant. Also used the city to boost symmetry.
Also had to introduced a bit more blank space around the edges, per CPC guidelines.

This is super rough but did it just for layout. My opinion is to make BURN just a tad smaller so you can move it up on the inlay rather than right in the middle. Gives a bit more room for a larger denom.
@TheLemursReturn are you going to order now ?
Cut off for B-mold is in a couple of days.
You can still finalise your design in the following weeks I guess.
