The (Un)Official PipesMagazine Secret Santa 2021!

[PipeIT]

Continuing on the Seinfeld theme, this guy looks like a younger Frank Costanza to me.

I loved Franks constant yelling, what a hoot!

And you gots to love THE MANSIER! LOL ?

 

[PipeIT]

PIPE NIGHT! LOL ?

PIPE NIGHT! LOL ?

There's a blooper reel of this scene where Jerry can't stop laughing during taping. It took several takes before they could do the scene without busting up. So funny!

You had already received your Secret Santa?

Yes, that’s why this was so unexpected! Someone has a real early start on next year or as I suspect Secret Santa shenanigans! Pipe smokers are the most generous!

 

[mikethompson]

@augiebd did your second package have a return address?

 

[augiebd]

@augiebd did your second package have a return address?

Yes it did, from Missouri. Shipped a week ago.

See?
Even when I screw up, good things happen.

Two parcels arrived at our house by post today. A little unusual, we’re a one package at a time home. My wife said one was for me. Very unusual, I was not expecting anything. Mystified, the box was opened to reveal wonderful contents.

I have no explanation for this generous gift that took only a week to arrive here.
There is:
A tin each of GLP Penny Farthing and C&D Luigi Radice
Generous samples of GLP Six Pence and SG Chocolate Flake
I am excited about all of these blends, they all sound right in my wheelhouse.
I do suspect Secret Santa shenanigans as I don’t know how else this parcel could have found me!

This is so generous, it made my day! Thanks to all involved!

Anyway, my victim will still receive some tobacco and souvenirs from me. Until then nobody will know who he is.

Wink wink

@augiebd, I hope you like them all. I guess it is time to solve some mystery. I was your SS, and that tobacco was supposed to arrive last year before Christmas. Unfortunately, I screwed it up and couldn't organize the shipment. As I have mentioned before, I live in Azerbaijan and we are not allowed to ship tobacco internationally, thus I use a third party (who resides in the States) to ship the tobacco for me.
I know that you received your SS gift in December, but it wasn't me. This is the real mystery
So I want to thank him/her for taking care of my victim, I guess he is your real SS now

This one made my day. Apparently this thread became Javan's SS package meme thread.

After 100 or so pages, its taken some twists and turns.

 

[HawkeyeLinus]

I’m dizzy - can someone give me a current status report? Is @DanWil84 still waiting on one package? Is @jvnshr still waiting on his package? Is @cosmicfolklore everyone’s Secret Santa? Will Underdog save Polly Purebred before Mr. Freeze renders her frigid?

 

[HawkeyeLinus]

Missour-ah being central to all things Christmas turns Christmas on its head. And laying a finger aside of his nose, Santa said “Show me!” Kids across the land receiving Lee pipes with stars on thars, wait that’s Dr. Seuss. Everything is broken!

 

[jvnshr]

Is @jvnshr still waiting on his package?

If that whole League of Nations thing hadn't fallen apart, these things wouldn't happen!

 

[mikethompson]

Good news @jvnshr !

 

[DanWil84]

@HawkeyeLinus yes, to everything.

 

[jvnshr]

Good news @jvnshr !

Thanks for the update Mike. Although I was late to the party, it was fun.
