You Think You Have a Rotation? The Many Pipes of Santa Claus

[Gavrin]

The one in my avatar is a Savinelli.
Ironically, I smoke less during the Christmas season because I don't normally smoke my pipes on days when I visit with children. That's a personal choice I've made after talking to many children who reek of cigarette and vaping smoke. I held an 11 day old baby last night and her blanket stank of cigarette smoke.

That brought back memories. My folks were cig chain smokers when I was growing up. I can almost still smell myself and my brother when we went off to school as young kids in elementary school . Those cigs reeked And so did we! Your choice is very considerate!

I have seen Santa meers but that is the best one I have seen. Who made it? Got a few more views?

I'd call it more of a collection than a rotation. I smoke the same pipe for weeks before switching.

is rotation defined by speed? Seriously I don't know. I don't think it is, but I couldn't say with authority. If not it's a rotation albeit a very glacial paced rotation.

I think I figured out the Santa mystery. Anyone lost one of their pipes around Christmas time? The whole toy thing is really just a front for the most massive scale pipe theft in the world. Seriously if you've lost a pipe I suggest looking through some Santa pics.

?‍No order in their smoking either. I may go back to a previous one before going to another, or another maker's pipe altogether. What's with the need for labels?

hey if I can call my pipes a rotation then order simply doesn't matter. Cause a few pipes get skipped a little more then others.

Clearly Santa has a Pipe Acquisition Disorder problem, and Mrs. Clause and the elves are planning an intervention using cookies and milk as bait. I bet he's a one-blend smoker, maybe Field and Stream or Granger.

It would be strange to see Santa smoking a carved Santa Meer wouldn't it?

Like would he commission a pipe of his own head?

Ha! That's actually a really cool story how that came about.

Been smoking it everyday since Dec 1st.

Where do you buy it?

Would've blown my mind.
