Well, sheeeit. Guess I'd better dust off the ol' pokerchipdesigntool project folder and start looking for a designer...

Does this mean I can close my CPC wanted ad?

Yes if you want to wait a couple years….

To me, CPC customs have always come across as end-game for 99% of people here; getting to show what you've decided is your favorite style/colors/combinations and putting it altogether with a fun and/or unique personal theme.

For me it’s the only game. I’m the rare member here only interested in custom chips. I own 23 year old custom ASMs but may want another custom clay set at some point and they are the only game in town. My ASMs are from the era when you could only order 312 edge spots in one color. That always left me feeling a little unsatisfied

I’ve never been interested in building casino sets, or fantasy theme chips. Have a few custom ceramic and Tina Hybrids….but I always liked the option for one last clay set or even the ability to add to the one I have made many years ago. I really hope it works out

@Pippa try the following for that butt hurt….

I don’t think @Pippa is butt hurt.

I’m quite sure if we asked Pippa “Do you hope CPC is back and shipping quickly at old prices or small bump.” That he’d be happy for his fellow chippers.

I don’t think he hopes CPC goes to crap and everyone with money up loses it. Thats not the @Pippa vibe.

add to the one I have made many years ago

The folks guessing about price increases is an obvious question but I’m much more interested to see if/how much the chips have changed. Not necessarily a concern about “quality” but for such a bespoke process I wonder how much changing the machinery has affected the end result.

I know previous ownership cared deeply about trying to maintain consistency and access to old molds for add ons. Will be interesting if that’s changed

I don't think so either, but even if he was, you're supposed to use the way funnier butt-hurt meme.

 

[suchj0sh]

Great news! Can’t wait to hear from them.

Impossible to truly tell from a pic online, but given that grain of salt it looks close to prior chips:

I think this will come to light pretty quickly once folks start receiving their orders, there are several of us with add-on orders to existing sets in the queue.

I didn't imply that he had ill will. I don't know Pippa, and give him the benefit of doubt that he is a good dude.

But this is a great day to see chips being pressed again! We should all be excited to see this! His snide comments are not needed/welcome. He got his refund. I am happy for him. Now he needs to move on. Let all of us who are still vested have our time.

@Pippa I wish you all the best!

This is the main reason I put in a final order with CPC prior to the move ...I am adding on 100% of a set. I am mildly afraid of the mismatch, but ... It was better than cancelling and re ordering at a markup a year from now.

Gotcha. And your "butt hurt" gif was a welcome addition to my day.
Far more pleasing [and less accurate] than the @Rieguy alterntive.

I'll stfu now. Let's get pressing!!

Because my chips are 23 years old …if I ever added on I think I would send them samples of my old chips and let them tell me how close them could get before I pulled the trigger. Their clay mix recipes (for lack of a better descriptor) may not have changed, but their suppliers for the ingredients may have changed or the ingredients themselves may have changed overtime.

Hell, I did add on in early 2004 …only a year after, the red ink in the labels was slightly different ….mostly unnoticeable…but it’s there.

On my last conversation with @CPC_Mike
I wished to him all the best and one day I’ll be back
Happy to see the factory finally working

It’s all different. Supplier shifting things, their machinery changing, their process changing. When only a few people in the world do something it’s very consistent and very inconsistent, right?

Your chips too, have worn/been exposed to light and air, etc.

For cigar folks, it’s actually so synonymous to companies trying to keep blends the same over time and comparing to older sticks of the same blend.

They’re dealing with changing farm conditions (CPC suppliers), a manual process, and then comparing against your perception which is both fixed on when your stogies were new and them now.

 

[toothpic]

Yea general rule should be to always overbuild your sets so you never have to worry about add ons and inconsistencies

 

[dennis63]

Great news, Mike. Looking forward to good things in the near future.

 

[Mudfever]

Unpopular molds…

But in all seriousness, so stoked and can’t wait to see all the new orders start rolling out.

I’m still happy with my decision
No regrets!!!!!!!

Anyone hear anything from Mike about stock design availability?

CPC Mike when we start seeing new custom sets roll out.

 

[buffalojim]

Has anyone received any yet?

 

[CantSpellPoker]

Has anyone received any yet?

Don’t think anyone even has a clue what mold is kicking things off. Regardless of order/sequence, do we have a full list of molds that didn’t make the Maine cutoff?
