Makes me mad too. Like they want to make sure we don't really have time to contemplate if we want and like the pipe. Real impulse buy type situation. I think I might protest by buying a few.
Next year I think they should give everyone a proper chance to get one and release them by March at the latest.

No offense to those who like these, but to me they are pretty much the ugliest Xmas pipes I've ever seen. And the same/usual shapes, too. Why can't we EVER get a few of the rare shapes mixed in? I love the 707 and it's always the same two for sale: Alligator and Roma (I think there's a Porto Cervo on SP, too). There's about a dozen other uncommon shapes that we hard see, too.

Nice! That’s my favorite year 👍
Yeah, I actually don't mind the look of it too much. I love the red stain of the bowl and the ferrule has grown on me. The big mistake was the shape I chose. The 315 has a small bowl and I prefer slightly bigger bowls, these days. Nothing crazy but things like the Peterson 05 and the XL02 suit me better.

I wish i'd gone for the 606

Ive been waiting on the 2025 edition to come out, and I really liked last year's I almost bought one but thought I'd wait to see these. These are cool too. I like it. I love the idea of a Christmas pipe. I have a blend that I like to smoke on holidays and that's Escudo. But I don't really have a Holiday pipe, I usually end up smoking all my pipes on Christmas. I just really would like to have a Special pipe just for special occasions

Customary fast delivery by SPC. Ordered Friday night and delivered Tuesday morning. Was kinda iffy on the color, but the green looks a lot better in person. Below is how it compares to the other green St. Nicks (‘18 606 & ‘21 614).
