Welcome to the ASP Zippo Pipe Lighters pages of ASPipes. For anyone not familiar with what these lighters are all about, here's a brief explanation.
ASP is the acronym for 'alt.smokers.pipes' which is a Usenet Newsgroup devoted to everything related to pipe smoking. Each year since 2002 the group gets special lighters made by the Zippo Manufacturing Company. Each year's lighters are done during that year only, they are not repeated.
On ASPipes' ASP Zippo pages you'll find: pictures of current entries for the year's Design Contest, voting results of the Design Contest and a picture of the winning entry, a page with information on price, payment methods and how to order the lighter and a complete history of the ASP Zippo project including each year's lighter/lighters as well as pictures of past Design Contest entries.
If you'd like to participate in ASP, search for 'alt.smokers.pipes' in either your favorite newsreader or web browser and join in!
To date ASP members have purchased 905 Zippo pipe lighters.
