Last week, after a very long day, I came home to this:

I had asked Santa repeatedly for a Peterson Rosslare 999. Guess (s)he got tired of my whining.


The only catch was I had to become a year older to get it.

Beautiful pipe and I really like the tin of Birthday Blend. I'd by that blend just for the heck of it. Enjoy both.

Lovely pipe. I have a Rosslare 80S and it is as grand a smoker as it is beautiful. Love the 999 though... I am keeping a weather eye out for a Rosslare Royal Irish in 999.
Enjoy your new burner.

I'll admit, the first thing I did was pull the stem and inspect it. I remember that Six had a problem with his, and I had my fingers crossed. Everything is great.
Plan on breaking it in tonight. Just been too busy to give it the attention it deserves.

Chances are you were going to be a year older regardless. If ya gotta get older, you might as well have a nice pipe with something good to fill it with. Enjoy!

Thanks, guys for the good wishes! Three more years to retirement makes a birthday not so bad.
