Thinking about Christmas pipes has given me an idea. Has anyone ever done a pipe tobacco Advent calendar? 24 blends to count down to Christmas. Would pair nicely with the whiskey Advent calendar I heard about

Actually there was a tobacco Advent Calendar I got one year. It was MacBarens and you got a little 5g sachet each day - enough for two smokes or so.
They don't do it any more but a quick google search gave this:

Shame they don't do it any more, I remember enjoying it and trying out a lot of different tobaccos I probably never would otherwise have sampled. Good marketing from MacBaren too.

Good point badger. Advent seems to be a celebration of the Spirit born in flesh. Lent is more a celebration of the Spirit winning it's liberation from the flesh.
Markwood Men's Breakfast Club - Tobacco Advent
There's a YouTube channel that does this every year. They're a father/son that people donate blends and questions to them. Every day leading up to Christmas they put the blend in the "official cob of Tobacco Advent" and discuss a randomly chosen question. In the end they give their thoughts on the blend they've been puffing on for 8-15 minutes. People that donate blends get a "cornament" which is a free new corncob pipe in the model they're smoking the blends out of that year.

That sounds like a cool series. I'll check it out.
While I was thinking about this, I thought it would be cool to collect a Christmas edition pipe every year, and after 25 years of dedication, finally being able to do the advent with a Christmas pipe every day.

My wife and I put together our own alcohol advent calendar this year. Doing one of pipe tobacco would be a really cool idea.
Leatherman - The Kaywoodie Holiday Party/Northeast Slow Smoke Competition has a competition pipe from Kaywoodie with a Christmas tree stamped on the bottom limited to the 50 contest pipes every year. I just completed the third year for me, maybe this wonderful event will run for 22 more years so I can put that set together! Ha.

It certainly is. I'll really think about trying to find a way to do the pipe tobacco addition next year.
