Here it is, the Weaver Christmas Egg is unsmoked no more! Burning 2016 Christmas Cheer in it, and right at its first bowl its smoking like a champ! Perfect open draw, and thus far no gurgle. The Christmas Cheer is plenty sweet and grassy with a bit of spice in the background, and I can only imagine how wonderful my other tins will be in the years to come. After Christmas, this pipe will be a dedicated Red Cake smoker until the holidays roll back around as I don't want to doom it to a yearly smoker. Here I am enjoying it, and as promised, and dared, in a Santa hat. Still a bit early for some, but MERRY CHRISTMAS my friends, and hope your holidays are filled with joy.
