Let's be honest, nobody can treat you better than you. Ok, some people think they can -and some do- but you know you better than, well, you.
It was time to get lost in the heaps of tobaccos that are available to be smoked. I had followed others recommendations from boards, Facebook and tobacco reviews. I followed those to see what others said about this blend or that when compared with similar. My self gift choices are a result of the twisting and turning opinions on tobaccos.
MacBaren Plumcake and 7 Seas Royal, Sutliff's Molto Dolce (I don't even know how many times I saw this blend mentioned) and C&D's USS Mason.
I also made my 15th pipe my first MM cob.
The Moloto Dolce was great out of the cob. Good afternoon smoke as the short day descended into night.

Who else has gotten their self Christmas gifts? What did "Santa" bring you?

Too poor to buy anything, the best gift I can hope for is hoping that is the thought that counts! I'll drool all over your loot though if you don't mind, I am loving that natural sandblast, very nicely done.

I have two TAD orders on their way from 4noggins and I'm picking up one new Brigham next week and hopefully another right after New Years.

If I can scrape together the cash, I'd like to get me three 8oz. tins each of Charing Cross and Odyssey. We'll see what's left over after the wife and kid's presents.

I am on the hunt to buy myself a pipe for Christmas, but not sure what yet. Does anyone know whether smokingpipes.com had a sale after Christmas last year? In Canada we call the 26th boxing day and it is a big day for sales up here, but don't think it is the same down south.

Man, some of you got quite the budget for Christmas. I thought I was doing pretty well with a four pack of tins, a cob and a set of estates on Saturday.
Ogre, you're more my speed. Lol.

I am at odds with myself, over choosing to start a commission or put money into tools for the Pipe Cave.

I like that Keith. I need to grab a Rad pot or a Rad "Castello 55" shape sometime for English blends.
