Well I do agree. In the Netherlands we have SantaClaus (5-12) Until a few years ago evrybody was waiting til 5-12 and then it was all Christmas. But the shops are in a Christmas Mood in the late of september.
My Christmas would be perfect if I could get a sample of "The Haunted Bookshop". Due to the laws I cannot order it. (Netherlands). This tobacco has the perfect name so it must be a great tobacco.
Good morning,
Yes I do smoke a claypipe sometimes.
I use one of my Zenith pipes
Never heard of them?? Here is a picture who's tell you all.

Well, all of you livin at the other side of the world....very nice idea...so sad that due to the custom-rules I can't participate! But wish you a very merry Christmas!
In a Facebook group was mentioned that Ascorti had a new "Cool System" . The picture showed a new Ascorti. Having seen that I was thinking of a Reverse Calabash System. Am I wrong??

No mso489, we haven't had winters, like you described, for ages. The last "Elfstedentocht" was in 1997. We can skate, most of the time on special created icetracks.

As far a I do remember the pipe was a little claypipe. About 15cm (5.9inch). They had to take it back together with a package of cookies (Goudse Stroopwafels)
These little claypipes are now used by tasting en testing tobaccos.
I had made a picture but I don't know how to post them.
Not exactly new to the group but a few names forgotten. I live in the Netherlands with my wife, near the sea. I'm pipesmoker for about 20 years. My famous tobacco is Troost slices and SG FVF.
