The (Un)Official PipesMagazine Secret Santa 2021!

[sablebrush52]

One more time. With feeling.

Dan,

Thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to organize this truly amazing SECRET SANTA!

The extraordinary generosity shown by the members here wouldn't be possible without you.

Organizing this is no small thing. It's a very big thing, something I look forward to every year, as I expect is the case with a lot of members.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!

 

[Servant King]

With all these thank yous pouring in, we'll pass page 71 faster than you can rub out an Escudo coin...

 

[Streeper541]

I see some of you chaps are bad at Math.
2 tins, eh?

I mean... if you are the kind of person who feels you can express yourself as a Pipes Magazine Secret Santa with the bare minimum tins... ?

I’m agog; I’ve never seen anyone fake sincerity as well as you.

Size doesn’t compensate for a lack of passion. Or so my wife tells me.

 

[PipesRock]

I'm speechless ?? after opening my secret Santa delivery today!!
All I can say is thank you soooo much!! Looking forward to trying out the KB blends and I missed out on 2021 Cringle Flake but love the 2020 and have 20 tins stashed. Watch City's Rhythm & Blues I have about a half pound left of the pound from a year or so ago and love it too, so into a jar it gleefully goes. Chocolates too, specified for my wife but hoping she'll share. Finally, I love Comoy's pipes and this 50's Comoy's feels perfect in the hand. I'm just blown away, and thankful my secret Santa has math literacy troubles like many others so generous here.
Thanks again Santa!!

I was going to add "From the bottom of what is purported to be my heart" before the thank yous, but I didn't want to be verbose.

 

[woodsroad]

…..but I didn't want to be verbose.

No, no you wouldn’t.

 

[HawkeyeLinus]

I tried, for a couple of years, to no avail, to rein it in. Damn generous people, can’t stop ‘em.

Now, my feeling is that you should expect the equivalent of two tins. If you get more, that was nice of your Santa.

Yep, too regulated and we get this . . .

I think that was the critical factor in Jesse’s choice of a Brobdingnagian font for his post.

Then of course, people will ask “WTF “Brobdingnagian”?” And you’ll have to explain, maybe with a YouTube link, and before you know it….Page 87.

Not to mention the most egregious example of thread hijackery known to man...

Karma - wait is that a Christmas thing? Sent mine out today (part one) and sure enough the mail truck brought me a wonderful surprise from Wisconsin! Some well aged tins I'm excited to try, one bulging with excitement (the youngest, haha), and if that isn't above and beyond enough there is a lovely, old Comoy's pipe (it's called "patina" and that's no lie, and a large Canadian to boot - cue Jack Nicholson, "is there any other kind?"). And a card bearing my favorite choir! @captainsousie I am surprised and humbled. Thanks!

 

[PipeIT]

@woodsroad Thank you too Dan very much for taking your time and making this happen! All the best to you, be well and a very Happy Holidays! ? ? ?

 

[Bengel]

Thank you! Dan

picked up my Secret Santa gift at the post office this morning.

Very nice Scott!

Now, my feeling is that you should expect the equivalent of two tins. If you get more, that was nice of your Santa.

And if you got less, Mike drew your name

 

[beefeater33]

HOLY CRAP @beefeater33 you scored, enjoy that and Happy Holidays!

I think he could of funded the whole Secret Santa with that package. LOL ?

Yes indeed.......... I'm truly amazed at his generosity! I tried to be good this year, but I wasn't THAT good!!
Happy Holidays to you as well and enjoy that Hawaii sunshine!............

 

[mikethompson]

I do believe that we will surpass last year's page count (71)

Still lots of life in this thread for sure. My package won't get to its destination until Easter probably.

Sunshine, sand and palm trees just doesn’t feel right, I find it actually really boring. LOL ?

I’d rather be up in the woods with a white nice looking Christmas that seemed real.

Now this looks like the Holidays to me...
