Resistance was indeed Futile. I bought the one on the previous page and this SJ La Fuma too. Now I must set up camp by the mailbox.
I have a Savinelli St. Nicholas 2023 (shape 106) wrapped and under the tree.

LOL! I bought a Peterson 2023 Christmas (B5) for my wife to give to me since they would be long gone by time I would have showed them to her.I have a Savinelli St. Nicholas 2023 (shape 106) wrapped and under the tree.

He never fails to impress. Would love to have seen it sandblasted but it wouldn't have matched the set.
I snagged a $15 El Morjane off fleabay, living large!!
How many in the set are you going for? I’ve sometimes caught myself wondering about doing an advent set, and smoking each pipe exclusively for the week it corresponds too.
Seven for both the Santas and the Ravens.
Why not do an advent calendar? Smoke a different pipe & tobacco for 25 days!
A tobacco advent calendar would actually be quite fun.
What a fun conversation about Christmas pipes! I've always enjoyed the tradition of giving pipes as gifts.
An advent calendar with a different tobacco each day is such a neat idea. Might have to steal that tradition myself this year.
It might be amusing to publish the master list in early October and then all the members have to scramble around sourcing the blends (e.g., buying, trading samples with one another, etc). Once it starts, we all smoke the same blend on the announced day (i.e. open the calendar entry). Only the organizer knows the true order.
I have requested that no one in my family buy me any pipes this year. I have way more than I can keep track of, and I am just tired of pretending to like the Savinelis and/or whatever they can afford type pipes they give me. I have asked them all to give me things for the beach instead.
But, these are some beautiful pipes.

I've got one VERY nice pipe coming today. Definitely an upper tier American carver that I've never owned before.

Maybe get with SPC and see if they could put something together for next year.

Maybe 1/2 oz per day, numbered and not named but supply a key with the blend names - sort of like the Mystery Tobacco of the month.
I bet it would be quite popular, especially for gifts.
GQ sell those. Not that they look very appealing (imo). You’d be better off demanding your own children make you one! You can’t beat child labour, especially this time of year, more festive (in a cruel, Dickensian kind of way).
Here’s GQ Tobacco’s Calendar.
