I still have 2 traditional Cherokee blends coming in the mail (did not make it for Christmas) and another new pipe with 3 more blends from G.L. Pease!
I could not be happier this morning! I got a few shirts and a down under quilt for my hammock rig also, so there is complaining here!!
Merry Christmas everyone, I hope you all have a wonderful day and pleasant smokes!
Regards,

Carbon

Obviously the true meaning of the holiday has something to do with tobacco consumption. Congrats on your instant cellar!

 

[derfatdutchman]

You must have been very good this year!

That McClelland Oriental especially caught my eye, and taste buds. What a great array of pipes and leaf. No gift action here yet, but at least one box is postmarked pipe gift, so I'm looking forward to that. We'd better get cracking.

Very nice haul indeed.

 

[fmgee]

What a great selection

A Vauen Auenland sandblast Doran churchwarden, and eight tins of Auenland tobacco. Congrats on your haul carbonmated, all great pipes and smokes!

 

[carbonmated]

chasingembers,
Pics of your churchwarden please
I have a Butz Choquin "NICE" smooth in the mail and I also got a Savinelli 920ks smooth, but opened that last week lol!

 

[Chasing Embers]

From top to bottom, Friddo, Hugg, and my new one, the Doran.

Ohhh the Doran looks sweet. Almost looks like a poker style? I will look up the Auenland tobacco when I get a chance a little later.

 

[Chasing Embers]

Yep, sort of poker/cherrywood. All three are great smokers, and the Auenland tobacco is one of a handful of aros that I really enjoy. Think citrus/peach/vanilla.

Santa thinks you were good this year.

 

[bungee]

Very nice haul indeed! Enjoy.
Cheers,

I also had a great pipe Christmas (along with a great Christmas in general -- wild caught salmon on Christmas Eve, roast duck for Christmas supper). My pipe extravaganza began with tiny pies from Brazil, from my sister's recent trip, and the finale gift from my wife of a great pipe package:
A Savinelli Oom Paul blast sitter

Medium Cut Vinent Manil Pure Semois

Thick Cut Vincent Manil Pure Semois

Two tins of Mac Baren's Latakia flake

One tin Dunhill De Luxe Navy Rolls
I have no idea how she picked so well. I guess she knew I had no Oom Paul, despite my many pipes, and the tobacco picks were spot on. I guess she'd heard me exalting about Semois, which ends up being my favorite leaf; now I get to sample the Medium cut. A Happy Piping New Year to All.

 

[carbonmated]

Nice mso! I am glad you made out well my friend. I will look up some reviews of the Semois.

 

[feloniousmonk]

Any pics Carbon? My envy requires visual representation.

 

[hawke]

Whahoo!!! Enjoy brother!

I will take some tomorrow. My pipe rack came in also so I am just waiting for some bulk stuff I oredered and I will be set for a while I think ::

 

[cynicismandsugar]

Huh...? All these years, and I thought all the twinkling bells where on Santa's reindeer; come to find out, it was actually all the tobacco tins in his sack. Who knew?

 

[ltstone]

Gotta love the smell of the package when its opened
