Freddy is the true spirit of Christmas!
He knows when you are sleeping. He knows when you're awake.
OK, that's the exact pipe I mentioned in my previous post that I said was "blatantly Christmas".
And honestly, for a Christmas pipe, I don't hate it, it looks like the theme and doesn't look terrible. I am just not big on highly specific themes like that where it otherwise looks out of place at the wrong time of year.
Like the difference between a shirt you could wear all year vs one that only makes sense during X-holiday.
Love Poul's work.. he's definitely one of my favorite artisans. I just don't understand why he's stopped doing almost any freehand crown dublins anymore... I think they were without a doubt his best, most signature shape. They're also definitely his most popular as the few he still does are snapped up almost instantly while the others seem to languish on the shelves. I have one of his examples, actually in my background here, that I bought after a previous one I wanted even more that I'd been eyeing sold out from under me... But even though I've been keeping up with his drops for years I haven't been able to find another one that I enjoy nearly as much these days...
I like him too. His band materials are cool. I thought I had heard he had retired but then I saw new stock of his on smoking pipes recently
I bought 4 pieces of his a few weeks ago. Already had 2. The third one down is a club. The G in the grade means Giant. 
If you ever get tired of #4 hit me up lol
That's what I wish we saw more of from him
These are Ardor Christmas pipes from various years:

I have a thing for Savinelli 320 Saint Nicholas pipes.
I love seeing the same shape but different years. Those top 4 have some beautiful stems.
Anyone collect the Dunhill Christmas pipes? They're a little out of my league price wise
. I like the way they're presented in a book with the special tamper. The themes that run for years is a cool idea, as well.
This one from 1980 is pretty cool.

the large stem on the 320.. perfect for colorful Christmas pipes.
I like holiday themed pipes, particularly Savinelli. I have a few that screams Christmas, but several are mostly neutral.
I've been watching for the Chacom 2025 Noel pipes to drop. I'm hoping to pick this one up.
Mark Tinsky does a nice subtle Christmas pipe. I have one from 23 and 24. Looking forward to seeing what he has to offer this year.
