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

[Ahi Ka]

@Ahi Ka Thank you for the unboxing experience! I am glad I managed to get something through New Zealand's Iron Dome, unfortunatelly I had to skip the tobaccos as per my research... Now when the cat is out of the back, I just wanted to show you at least what was planned for the naughty box and if you know a way for me to get it to you I am all ears.
So after a deep dive into niche German top shelf, artisan, hand blended, single barrel, limited edition, one of a kind, cream of the crop... tobaccos I found this GEM - Kleinlagel Cucumber! It's a Cucumber aromatic and I know that this might sound unappetizing, but worry not it says "A SELECTION OF THE WORLD'S FINEST TOBACCOS" on the top of the tin so we are good.View attachment 442081View attachment 442082
P.S. Now I do expect you not to be wasteful and keep and use your newly acquired 22 pipe tools

It’s summer here, and we are eating our homegrown cucumbers daily. I would definitely smoke that!

Chuck it in a box with a tin of tea or drinking chocolate, and run the gauntlet!

Well played Santa! I know it is your first year, and you have gone above and beyond to embody the spirit of som besths!

Indeed! But I think what we all want to see is your first bowlful in that cherrywood pipe.

Thank you, secret santa! I have never heard anything about these tobaccos. The descriptions sound great and they definitely can't be found in my market. I am looking forward to trying them. Thanks again! (They seem to be made by Mac Baren. Does anyone know anything about these? Tobacco Reviews blocked me.)

Nice! Interesting to see some different blends.

3 Monks may be the sequel to 2 Monks, but I'm not 100% sure.

I thought that was Three Amigos?

No, you’re thinking of The Three Tenors. Or was it The Four Seasons? Two Weddings and a Funeral? The 39 Steps? Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover? 101 Dalmations?

Three’s Company? 2 Men and a Baby?

The answer is and always is: 23

That pipe gives me nightmares. It’s unsmoked, but the stem has chatter, so it clearly killed the previous owner before he was able to char light.

As for the pipe tools, I’m wondering if i accidentally signed up for the festivus thread instead of secret Santa and they are hobbit sized centrepieces

Close, but not really.

Yes but 4+2=6 which is 2 3s

I wondered about that exact thing too ever since I got this pipe about 5 months ago...also about birds randomly dropping dead midflight around my house eversince... But hey I am happy the pipe has the intended effect, also happy it's not with me any more... Not only this but it's probably as far away as possible, all the way in New Zealand

I’ll water flush it with the pure waters of the antipodes and send it back to you and all will be well, for both your household and those of your avian friends.
