Re: 11.5 g poker chips
A friend of mine gave me a set of the Marlboro chips that his ex-smoker, ex-wife left. Disregarding the logo, they're more or less the same diamond chips we already had for our micro-limit home game. They do have more rounded edges, which is nice, but there weren't enough in the set to use them exclusively. I've only pulled them out a few times when we had a tournament or lot of players re-buy in a regular game.
Someday, I, too, hope to purchase a custom set of real chips but, when the average player buy-in is less than $20, it's difficult to justify $500 or so for a set.
Use the Marlboro chips. If you trust the other players or you're not playing for too much money, they're just fine. They're certainly much better than the cheap plastic ones or, even worse, pocket change.
