Tina’s vs Apache ceramic (25 Viewers)

[caballo993]

Good morning Chippers,

I’m currently in the market for my first set. Looking to get a 600pc Tournament set.

Initially my budget and research indicated that some Apache CC’s would be perfect. However, as I go down the rabbit hole of PCF I’ve discovered Tina’s as another great option.

Which of course lead me back to Apache to review their ceramic options. To which I noticed Apache has the Empire and Taj Mahal “cards mold”, and also the Monaco “web mold”. Are these any different then what is offered in the group buy? Other than the Apaches “appear” to be more expensive. Although I’ve heard they have good quality control, as far as CC goes.

Obviously I went and ordered some samples from both vendors. But I’m curious if anyone who has experience with both and which did you prefer? Could be any reason, such as quality control, customer service etc.

Thanks,
Anthony G

They come from the same manufacturer. You can even get the Taj Mahal set in a GB I do believe. I think the the Monaco and Empire are just specific to Apache as they are the designer of those.
