From top, Eltang, Sabina Santos, Tokutomi.Who made which ones?
My PAD is BAD too this year, but I think you take the prize!
Conversely, it makes me feel like I must have a serious problem!Yes, Ben makes us all feel less guilty!
Lovely pipes
Not sure that I have 25 blends in my cellar!A tobacco advent calendar would actually be quite fun.
Well let’s hope your secret Santa rectified that!Not sure that I have 25 blends in my cellar!
Nice! I’ve been wanting a Nuttens, SPC has some good ones right now.I'll probably get this Nuttens Bing around Christmas time:

Now I'm feeding your PAD!Nice! I’ve been wanting a Nuttens, SPC has some good ones right now.
I may be switching out the Tokutomi for another estate, never spent that kind of bread on a pipe, but it’s been a dream to own one. I’ve literally never seen one available even. Hard decision. The other 2 are done deals.
Danish Pipe Shop? I think I saw it there. I'm paying off my Eltang from there.Now I'm feeding your PAD!
I like Nuttens' "Twiggy" shape. I'd go for a mini version, especially with a good blast on it.
I don't think I would have otherwise bought one of his Bings, but this one had my name on it because of the rod stock. I snapped it up and put it on layaway. It's hard to tell from the above picture, but I expect it to compliment my Piersels. It's got blues and purples in it. The stain and stem look very similar to my smooth "Scottie". (The blast is kind of neat too.)

My last pipe of the year is a Luiz Lavos, but I'm paying this one off between now and April so it doesn't count as a Christmas pipe. I'll show you a picture of it anyway, 'cause it's mighty perty.

I think I'll be set for a PAD-free 2024!
