New member and league manager - Pharoah questions (1 Viewer)

[BBQlegend]

Hello all, I am a new member and manage the Northern Oklahoma Poker League in Bartlesville OK. We have been using Pharoah's from the start (9 years). I made 2 buys as the league grew. The first lot was great. The second lot was slightly faded in coloring and did not match exactly. And they are much weaker. tons of flea bites and they break in half with minimal pressure. Has anyone else seen a wide variation in lots? Looking to replace them with new chips, possibly the new 2 card mold discussed here. But wondering if the cheaper composite with inserts like the Desert Sands or mints from Chip cave are a better value long term? Appreciate all opinions and discussion.

Thanks,
BBQ

hello from Bartlesville OK! Newly joined and when joining they said to pick user name that was not personal Identifying, So BBQ legend is mine. Why? Not poker related at all. Well I make and sell my own custom BBQ sauce. I smoke meat as well but have focused on the sauce and started selling 2 years ago. If interested see Andyslegendary.com. I joined this because my other vice is poker. I run a WSOP Circuit league that has grown from 15 to 32 and hope to get to 50 in another year. Have a mixed Pharoah set now and looking to change so that is main reason I joined.

Slow Death Flavor Sauce

the heat is from several Carolina Reapers

It lights your mouth up right away and stays in the back of the throat well after the meal.

I tried a Carolina Reaper once... it has all the staying power in the world.

Welcome from California!!

I'm guessing you're talking about CC Pharaohs (China Clay) & not the real deal?

yes, china clays. not real deal. Can't afford real deal.

Unfortunately this happened with a lot of the CCs because different batches over time could have been made by different manufacturers, which used different quality materials. I have also seen CC Pharaohs disintegrate on the table during play.

Welcome to PCF! The china clay pharaohs can be pretty crappy. Somebody here shipped a batch recently that were not packaged well and they arrived looking like confetti. There are better options out there for sure. Get somesamples and search some threads for more Info.

The next time you do a cook, post some pics over on the smoker thread:

Also, Tina can be your friend to replace your chips!! Check out these, this is what you will want probably to replace your current CC’s.
