Santa's Pipe

Something with (rein)deertongue maybe?
I see the english chocolate being a good match too.

I can imagine old mate Nick chuckling, sitting in the dark and observing the glow of the cherry, reminiscent of Rudolf's nose!

That thought crossed my mind too.?

A friend of mine has been making pipes for a little over a year and has been sending some of his work my way. I decided to throw him a curve ball and asked him for a Christmas pipe. When he inquired how I would like it made, I set up a scene of Santa just getting in from his delivery run, reindeer in their stables, coat on the rack, and he settles down for an end of day smoke. I told him whatever pipe he saw Santa smoking in that scene was the pipe that I wanted. My only contribution to the design was that I wanted an antler accent on either the stem or the shank. He blew me away with not only a pipe, but a matching tamper.

The stem is a three piece of cumberland, white juma, and ebonite. The shank accent is ebonite, white juma, and antler with a white juma cap on the end.

The tamper is briar with an accent of antler, cumberland, and ebonite.

He left a live edge on the shank antler accent and it really sets off the overall design. This is going to be a much different Christmas Pipe as it's going to be smoked on Christmas Eve night while this Santa is waiting to hear young feet excitedly patting through the house on Christmas morning to discover what's under the tree.???


Upon seeing the pipe first hand, I told him it was the most beautiful pipe I had ever seen........and now I want six more for a seven day set!

I'm dyin' here. DYIN', you understand?? Daggone, that is a true beauty. I'm green right now.

Beauty! Better not leave it out by the cookies on Christmas Eve because I bet Santa could see himself smoking it too.

Santa gon' be doin' some thievin', would be my guess. }

When Bruce retired I guess I lost interest in pipes. I think I've found my muse again.?

Cap'n,

First of all, DUH! Christmas pipe? = CHRISTMAS BLEND!

Second, DAYUM!!!!! That's a beauty! I love the Antler accents and the stain and, well, everything else about it!

Does he do commissions or have you got him all wrapped up?

PM me.

Have you prompted your friend on possibly getting a pm.com pipe made for us guys on here? With skills like that I would be jumping to get me one as well.

Got that base covered.?


Since the new kid on the rack is a designated Santa pipe, I've got the loophole of smoking it on Christmas Eve.?

He and a few more carvers call another forum home so that may be a difficult sell.

Well we wouldn’t want to steal him away from anyone, just line his pockets with some dead presidents and fill our PAD.
