Does anyone still use leather grips?

I've used various grips over the many years. I still prefer leather although the best, Fairway is no longer made. I've tried what's recently available commercially but they all lack the quality. What grip do you use on your racquet and why?

You could just use 7 grams of lead on the handle and use the synthetic grip, or silicone inside the handle.

I've played with leather grips covered with an over grip on all my rackets since college. Can't beat the feel and response you get with the leather base! I've played with several leather grips to try and find the best one and in my experience fairway grips were some of the best, however I've become a fan of Gamma or Babolat leathers. For over grips I started with tournagrips but then switched over to the Wilson Pro-Overgrips (white ones that fed uses) and have not played with anything else since.
