    🌟 🎄 🎅 The UnOfficial Official 2025 PM Secret Santa Thread 🎅 🎄 🌟

    How many of these were sent out? How many were received? I remember hearing they got lost in the Canadian Post, but this is the first time I recall actually seeing one! I had wondered if it was just a joke gone wild. This looks like a legit, real bottle opener as opposed to an AI generated image.

    It has to do with thick foam at the head as I recall.

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

    Having a Cigars International Knock-off of a Cohiba Churchill, 6 7/8" x 48 by the fire. That’s Wasabi’s ear in the foreground (he’s on my lap).

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

    Sitting by the firepit. It’s much windier than the other nights. Having a Raices Dominicanas Toro, 6.0" x 50. Wasabi is bundled up like a little burrito.

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2025?***

    Thank you! I still have to work in Manhattan several days a week and crash with my brothers. I still play table tennis in TriBeCa on Wednesday nights. Perhaps, when it’s warmer, we can meet up for a smoke.

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2025?***

    I fell behind reading WAYS threads back in June when we were packing up our Brooklyn apartment and moving. Then, I was swamped with typesetting, designing, and illustrating four Weird Tales Presents novels. I’m reading the WAYS threads I missed since that time, so if you get bombarded with...

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

    Having an Ashton VSG Sorcerer, 7.0" x 49 by the firepit with our buddy John.

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2025?***

    So, I wanted to share this big news with all of you—last night, Susan and I tied the knot! It was a beautiful night. I’d never seen so many stars in this area before (you could see more than just Orion’s belt and shoulders in the constellation). The little fire we had going in the firepit was...

    We have matching black titanium rings with meteorite-filled center channels that are placeholders until we can practice a little before making our own precious metal versions. I leave it to your eagle eyes to find the micro-etched SOM BESTHS! lettering.

    Is This Worth Restoring?

    Is it missing both horns? How about the other eye? It might be a fun project to fabricate/recreate the missing parts. That will depend on how much research and effort you want to put into it being accurate and if you think you’ll enjoy doing any of that. These kinds of pipes are not usually...

    🌟 🎄 🎅 The UnOfficial Official 2025 PM Secret Santa Thread 🎅 🎄 🌟

    Thank you! By many standards, perhaps. In Pennsylvania (probably related to something having to do with Quakers), it’s possible to self unite without the need for a clergyman or justice of the peace. We had our required two witnesses for it to be legal. We’ll probably have some kind of...

    Comoy's Pot Restored

    I’m so sorry to hear about your niece, Al. My condolences to you and your family.

    Just thought I’d share this tidbit from last night with this section of the forum: And a pic of Wasabi, the cutest groomsman a guy could want: SOM BESTHS!

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

    Thank you very much! It was a great and beautiful night. This is the photo that Susan took that I really wanted to upload, but I had to convert its original HEIC format to JPG when we got got back to the house:

    I’m in! @mikethompson I’m also vouching for @Kingsley who doesn’t have enough posts for this year’s new post requirements.

    Werner Mummert Glass Shank Reverse Calabash Poker With Polymerized Pine Cone

    I keep toying with the idea of getting one of these.

    The Plymouth pipe used by Lee Van Cleef in "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" as "Angel Eyes"

    I have a great fondness for Death Rides a Horse. I saw the original theatrical release in the late ’60s—my godmother saw the film with us at the Alpine Theater in Brooklyn, New York, shortly before she took her own life. When Meceita shot Paco in the forehead, I was doubled over in my seat...
