I will spare you all the dramatic backstory, but the Coles notes version is about a week before Christmas in 2015 my wife told me she was pregnant again. The odds of us having another kid were infinitesimal, practically impossible. It was the best Christmas gift I could have received.
I found out much later about Petersons line of special pipes for St. Patrick's Day and Christmas. I set out to find a Christmas 2015 to add to the collection. I couldn't find any anywhere. The other day I was randomly searching the local classifieds, and I found it - a very lightly smoked (although it does have a ghost to get rid of) Petersons Christmas 2015. There was no price listed, so I emailed the seller. I ended up trading a tin of Quiet Nights (which I was looking forward to trying, but can easily be replaced) for it.
I just unwrapped it all. Its the perfect size and shape for me too.
Good things happen to those who wait!

Congrats on finding an elusive addition to your pipe rack. It’s even better with the extra bit of personal meaning. I hope you enjoy it

That they do, good sir. That they do. Congratulations on the pipe, and belated congratulations on the latest addition to the family. Enjoy the heck out of it. :clap:

Thanks guys, the stem is sort of a pearlescient silver-tan, quite nice. The bowl is deceptively large too, I was surprised at how much salt I could fit in there. It should be a good smoker when all de-ghosted and sanitized.
Thanks Anthony, he will be 2 this August. They grow up too fast.

Sounds like a win-win, to me! Congrats on the young one.

When our child began crawling we went to great length to baby-proof the house -- but another one got in anyway. :lol:

Grtz on the new (to your collection) pipe; looks great! Hope to see a follow on smoke report
Do you have a specific blend in mind for it?
