Saint Nick’s Pipe/Santa Claus’ Preference

[jpmcwjr]

Some silly ideas!

Santa smokes a huge Barling with a silver wind cap. Can't have dainty or breakables on a sled at light speed. Gotta keep burning embers from flying out, and a bespoke pipe fits my Santa Claus.

I would want an 1/8th bent prince by Nate King!!

the answer is in what pipes disappear mysteriously? The I swear I put that one in the rack but where is it now. Santa stole it.

TOTALLY! It’s a gateway! ….starts with cookies and milk and graduates to a handful of briar! ….well deserved for him I suppose though…caffeinated hot cocoa and sugar fueled cookies only go so far….I assume he needs a uh uh umm, AHEM Nic(k) hit once in awhile …I’ll contribute to that and tip my hat to the jolly ol’ elf….well played Mr. Nicholas, well played.

I have always pictured Santa as smoking a clay while at his desk or fireside reading through his lists. When traveling in his sleigh, a bent briar with a wind cap like the one portrayed in the Rockwell painting.

Oddly the fat man has the same taste in cookies as my dad. Which is weird but not too weird.
Though you do have a point I was addicted to cookies well before getting my first pipe. Though to be honest pipes did seem pretty awesome.
So the first question is does his Santa magic prevent over heating of his pipe. Considering he rides in an open sleigh at a pretty impressive altitude for that. If it doesn't protect against that he probably smokes one of those flakes that people call flame proof. Though there is also a real chance he's smoking something with more kick. Something that lets him stay awake all night. Something like Five Brothers. So flake plus strength might be the ticket for him.
Last thing there was graffiti in my town for years that said "Santa is the gas man" and not knowing beatnik slang I thought they meant he had gas until I was about 16 years old and found the beats.

It's a well known fact that in the 90's, like a lot of other men, Mr. Kringle got caught up in the cigar boom, but has since returned to smoking a Peterson pipe. He and Frosty do however get together on occasion to share a MM when they reminisce about ghosts of Christmas past.

Now in hand, I think Santa would approve.

 

[buckaroo]

I approve. A beauty, Chasing. Thx for posting. A bit jealous I am.

silver wind cap

According to this article on the physics of Santa Claus, he would at the very least need a wind cap of some sort if he does indeed smoke a pipe while traveling in his sleigh. He obviously has access to technology that defies our understanding of physics as per their calculations, in order to reach all households of the good children in one night, he has to travel at around 3000 times the speed of sound; carry a payload of at least, roughly, 350,000 tons, contend with extreme G-forces, and overcome the heat from atmospheric friction. Some however theorize that if Santa does actually have faster-than-light propulsion, that time would thereby run backwards and allow him more time to visit each household, and if he has FTL propulsion, he would inevitably have some sort of force-field type shielding to protect against atmospheric friction, anti-gravity plating on the sleight to alleviate the weight of his payload as well as allay G-forces, which conditions would make a situation more amenable to pipe smoking at his discretion

Nope, it's magic.

 

[jpmcwjr]

Yeah, it is magic, or he has a lot of helpers.

 

[minerLuke]

I always pictured Santa with a Cutty, could be briar or clay.

You went the wrong way with your assumptions. He goes normal speed pulled by magical reindeer by his perspective. The magic slows down time so that it seems to happen fast for the rest of us.

Elf made nosewarmer with cap while outside, and then he settles down with a churchwarden to relax.

I have a Savinelli tre rusticated 626 shape that always feels like a Santa pipe to me. I’m going to go with a bent apple briar, straight cob, or a clay.

 

[sardonicus87]

I'm just wondering now if the red suit is really just a smoking jacket because Mrs. Claus doesn't like whatever blend he smokes.

I want to see Hanukkah Harry's pipe.
