This is the maiden voyage for this pipe, which I plan on dedicating to Holiday/Seasonal blends. I’m unfamiliar with the maker’s mark, which emulates a red wax seal—“RR” inside a crest (a wide crown above the shield portion). The orific bit suggests this could be late 19th Century, or early 20th Century.

Any help with the ID of the maker, or suggestion of who might be depicted (other than Santa) would be most welcome.

I've been looking for a Santa pipe for awhile the appeals to me. Now that there is what I'm looking for. Love it.

Sticking with the holiday theme, going to have Sutliff Cringle Flake Holiday Edition 2022 in a Missouri Meerschaum Snowman Cob while watching the UFC 282 Early Prelims.

Searching for my Christmas present from my wife. This “pub pipe” from Peterson might be the one. I never seen one before. Perfect when I’m at gatherings with friends, looks good and has a nice size bowl.

Old Joe Krantz Blue in my new (to me) Tsuge Tokyo Sandblasted Cherrywood. Someone didn't want this pipe, I assume because it doesn't sit perfectly. It's a little unstable. I guess that could be a disappointing bug for a Cherrywood. A steel ball in the chamber will do fine. I've been wanting a Tsuge for a long while. I notice the shanks on all the new models are shorter — one knuckle instead of two — probably for better balance. I'll just need to get a cake going to weigh down the stummel a little more! I like the long shank. Sits fine with tobacco in the chamber. BTW, OJKB is A-OK.

I've about a quarter of a bowl left of year 2013 FVF in a smooth 2002 medium bend eight sided panel top straight grain Rinaldo Collection Silver Line F Egea 05 Titania bulldog with a black acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of KBV Alchemy Parish in a 1960s Austrian meerschaum bent apple with a tapered yellow stem. Not far from finishing this review.
