Family tradition allows for the opening of 1 gift on Christmas Eve- guess which one I picked? I was blown away by the generosity of my SS. Thank you many times over and Merry Christmas everyone!

I’ve been dying to sit down with a pipe for the first time in weeks and finally dig into my secret Santa stash, but no such luck this Eve. Got stuck doing this instead ? Merry Christmas, everybody. ???

Beautiful picture bro…but what I want to know is whether the mirror/halo is intentional or not?!?

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals dear friends.

Ha! Most definitely not. I’m on the naughty list, no doubt about that. And thank you! She’s our first and my wife and I are over the moon.

Merry Christmas to all of our pipe smoking friends!

I finally opened my secret Santa package; thanks a ton whoever you are! I love these blends and my Santa was definitely paying attention to my new found love for OTCs.

Talk to you all in the new year!

I would like to thank my SS for Rattray's Black Virginia and 2021 Cringle Flake. I have not tried either of these blends. Also, my SS went through my posts and found out I like chocolate and peanut butter. Thanks for all the Reeses!

Today, we are finally warming up. It is 43 degrees now and getting up to 50s! We will ignore the 20's coming in a few days ago. Unfortunately, my family has been sharing a miserable cold, and now it is my turn.

Merry Christmas to all SS participants!

Merry Christmas everyone! The big day is here and finally opened my SS gift. Awesome blends I haven’t tried and a thoughtful card. The Bayou Morning tin is bulging just slightly, some good age on that. I haven’t tried a McConnell blend yet so also excited about that one. Thanks so much Santa, the gifts are much appreciated! Thanks also to @woodsroad for making it all possible, great experience!

Just opened this most excellent gift from my SS. Two fabulous tins and an absinthe infused cigar! I’ve never tried Bijou and I love Squadron Leader. I’m really looking forward to smoking the cigar on NYE.
Thanks so much Brian and Merry Christmas!

Those cigars were a big hit here at the particular shop that was collaborating with Copper and Kings Distillery. I've got one left myself and I too planned on sparking it up NYE.

Merry Christmas all!

Merry Christmas!
I received a very nice gift from my SS, a few inches of Samuel Gawith Brown #4 and a tin of Sutliff Cringle Flake 2021, a nice book on pipes, and a Meer pipe that was made just for Pipe Magazine! I’m thrilled for all of it. I wasn’t able to get any of this years Cringle Flake and the Brown #4 is a blend of wanted to try since I started smoking a pipe. As soon as my niece is sleeping I’m going to try some of the Brown #4. I love the pipe and the way it’s been part of this forum and it’s community, I will smoke it happily and give it some more coloring! Thank you very much Avery and I hope your Christmas is a blessed one!
