My holiday pipe came in today

Yep. Impulsively purchased this "lumpy lovat" last night.

When a man's an empty kettle
He should be on his mettle
And yet I'm torn apart
Just because I'm presumin'
That I could be kind of human
If I only had a pipe

Do it! New Black Frigate furnace!

Haha, I already have a dedicated BF pipe though! (Comoy’s Scrimshaw). I’ll probably smoke some in it at some point just to see. It’s definitely meant to be decoration and not a workhorse though, not exactly an expertly constructed smoking instrument. Pretty though.

Perfect! Was that quoted from memory?

The maker of the lumpy lovat goes by 'Tinman'. Very pleasant fellow to work with- I don't believe for a second that he is without a heart. Or a pipe, obviously.

A friend of mine has one of those and loves it.

Yep. Always loved The Wizard of Oz. The Tin Man was my favorite character.

 

[agnosticpipe]

Got a new Kiribi Kuboto lighter, but no new pipe. Although, I did finally find my Morgan Black Jack pipe that I had misplaced, and hadn't seen for a few months. Going to open a 3 yo. tin of Dunhill Flake for tonight.

At first I thought the Tin Woodsman was fixed to the stem like the little duck on L'Anatra pipes I've always liked The Wizard of Oz, too.

Gods no ? that would render it nearly unsmokeable. Were that the case- I would definitely start questioning my own taste in pipes.

My wife got me this Peterson’s Special 5s billiard! Most likely from the 1950s!

Not for Christmas, but my birthday is next week and I received a gift card that I put to work.

 

[gervais]

My new Stanwell silkbrun. Merry Christmas to me, from myself. First time using it yesterday.

 

[hauntedmyst]

My Merry Christmas to me. Snagged what is a unicorn to me, an ODA Black Briar from 1975.

Very cool.

Very cool.

I think so too! It should arrive later today and I'm more than a little excited.

Cool looking pipe. I like colored stems and that one certainly has some color. Enjoy it!
