The (un)Official Pipes Magazine Secret Santa - 2016 Edition

[lifesizehobbit]

Santa has landed early in the Hobbit household. My Secret Santa gifted me with a tin of Syrian Reserve and Capstan Navy Flake as well as a sleeve of pipe cleaners. For my smoking tastes and habits, this is an excellent gift that I am looking forward to enjoying.
While he has revealed himself to me, he shall remain a secret on this board...I mean, what's the fun of knowing all the secrets? :D
THANK YOU VERY MUCH SANTA!

A great big thank you to my Secret Santa! I got a tin of SG Black XX, and GLP Jack Knife Plug, and some Happy Brown Bogie, all of which is new to me. I also got some PS Bullseye Flake, which is a favorite blend of mine!

 

[hmhaines]

Brown Bogie and Bullseye Flake are really good!

Hey lifesizehobbit,
I have a few tins of the original Ringlow Syrian Reserve left, next time I open one (not sure when that will be), want me to send some your way to compare? I believe they are dated 1993. The tin is much more colorful with a rainbow lettering compared to the re-released gold version.

Unnecessary, Dutch. You're solid as Gibraltar.

Hey clickklick!
What a nice offer; sure, I'd love to compare the aged difference. Whenever you open that, feel free to PM me and I'll give you my address!
Best.

I received my gifts today! I have never tried blends with orientals, and I am partial to latakia, so I am so excited to try these out! AND it came with a new cob and some cleaning supplies.
:clap:

A special thank you to my secret santa; and to Pat for putting this together!

Ok so I finally got my side boxed up so I figured I can open the mysteriously heavy box. Not only did my SS send some tasty tobaccos but now I see where the weight came from. Looks like my SS has some skills with a blow torch

 

[hmhaines]

Haven't tried the Bayou Slices yet, let us know what it is like!

 

[texmexpipe]

Going out in the mail in the morning!

Neither have I and it was on my to try list! Looking forward to it

 

[7ach]

Also in hind sight I should have said skills with a welder(not a blowtorch)

 

[derfatdutchman]

A suspicious looking package arrived for me at the post office today.

Apparently I wasn't too bad this year, Santa stopped by and left this for me! http://pipesmagazine.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/album/14006/img_0088-600x337.jpg
