The Self Gift of Christmas. What did You Get?

[houndstooth]

A Rad Davis Blasted Zulu is on the way…

There is a theme going on here...

I bought myself a Le Nuvole Christmas pipe. I've been very restrained - it is still wrapped and unopened, under the tree.

@houndstooth, I'm not normally a bog fan of the Zulu shape, but that Rad is gorgeous!
The same goes for y'all Chris and Keith, both of yours are beautiful as well!
@moriarty, that's one classy lookin pipe!

@keith929 and @houndstooth: Damn - those are both equally gorgeous in my book, Merry Xmas!

I've been very restrained - it is still wrapped and unopened, under the tree.

Nice @moriarty, you're the picture of patience!
My Xmas present to myself is more tobacco for the cellar. Right now I have about 5 years worth (that's about 50 lbs). Don't know if I will be able to do more than that before the tobaccapolypse.

Pretty much for giggles, I've wrapped it and put it under the tree.

I have a meer Falcon bowl on the way, I also picked up a lb. of P&C Butternut Burley, 2 x 100 grams tins of FMC and MacBaren Cube.
That is all until after Christmas.

Pylorns, I don't know what's prettier, the pipe or the packaging! Nice on both accounts!

+1 very nice - congrats!

 

[petes03]

Six, let me just say a quick thanks to you! The posts of your straight billiards are what really got me to pay more attention to the shape. I've grown very fond of them now, as well as straight pipes in general, much because of your influence! Now every time I buy a straight billiard, which is quite often now, I can't help but say to myself "I bet Six would like this one!" So thanks buddy, for steering me towards some great pipes that I would have, in the past, otherwise ignored!

Those Rad Davis pipes are badass ... and out of my price range.

 

[pylorns]

@petes03 thanks. I know the pipe is kind of entry level - but I've never smoked a Wessex pipe so I'm curious. All the little things they put in the package made it totally worth it.

 

[petes03]

No problem Pylorns! That's gotta be some of the most elaborate and pretty packaging I've ever seen! That's a great looking pipe as well!

I got a Rad Briar Blues gifted to me by Chris Jones, 2 Jouras one is a square panel the other one I've posted , 2 Ingo Garbes, 1 Duca Bulldog, wife said no more pipes in 2014, so I loaded up, she didn't say anything about 2013. LOL :rofl:

 

[gwtwdbss]

Oh my Bradley that is too bad about 2014. I hope she isn't taking a pipe inventory why you sleep! :?
Those are some nice self gifts there guys. I picked up an Aldo estate last month for Latakia blends and I really enjoy it Dan. You pipe is very nice and would make a fine addition to most any collection.

 

[flmason]

I was able to get a Dunhill Root Briar during the trunk sale at Iwan Ries earlier in the month.
Nice gifts everyone. It will be interesting to see if SP will have a sale after Christmas. The day will be Thursday and that is one of the days they update inventory.

2 Trypis coming from Smokey. I don't have pics but if he sees this post, he may add a pic or two.

I gave myself the gift of TAD this year... Went online to every B&M I knew and ordered every "sampler pack" of Tobacco available... Then added to that with a couple Tin Samplers from a couple of the "big boy" sites...
Ended up buying about 8lbs in a wide variety of styles. I deserve it.

 

[troutface]

Just received my three Trypis pipes from smokey. I also put in an offer on a pipe at Briar Blues. And I bought another tin of 2001 Christmas Cheer. Time to stop now.

 

[petes03]

Good lookin pipes Troutface!
