CHRISTMAS.........
A little early for Christmas talk but getting ahead of the game.....
So how many of you have special Christmas Blends you smoke during the Holidays?
Do you have a special Pipe you use?
I
am going to try a couple new blends this Christmas and might use one of
my pipes I have never used, nothing special about it I just have one
that is always my go to pipe so I think I am going to give it a break
and use a different one for a change.

@LostMason I know that feeling of opening a tin, the first air pressure leak and aroma that comes out after the air goes in......but so far I am still looking for that great Christmas Blend....
@Wooddman Have you ever thought about it? Do you like Aromatics? If so give it a try this year, maybe I can send you some??
McClelland's 2016 Edition Holiday Spirit - GOOD
H&H Caramel Apple - OK
H&H Egg Nog - OK
Straus Wenceslas (Christmas Special Blend) - Not worth the money!
Back Order is Russ's Pick Sugar Plum, I will let you know when it arrives.
These are what I have found and bought, still looking for more.
to do a little research and try to find a Christmas edition pipe from
the year i was born which was 1984. So does anybody know of an awesome
Christmas pipe from 1984???
@maxwell04 I don't know about awesome but Comoy christmas/holiday pipes came in a wood stand with a dated plaque . Dunhill's came in a dated leather book. I don't know if American/Tinsky, Roller had a Christmas pipe yet. I'm away from home and my library so I can't look up what other artisans were doing in 1984. The 1984 Comoy and Dunhill christmas pipes are probably your best bet.
Be right back with a list that is if I have any on this chart.
Thompson Bent Stem, Dr. Grabow - Briar Bent Stem, Unknown marble looking pipe with what looks to be some kind of metal type bowl, Antique Opium Pipe, Royal Ascot De LUXE Algerian Briar from France, Dr. Grabow - Silver Duke imported Briar and 4 Missouri Meerschaum corn cob Pipes.
Ordering two custom made Clay pipes from Europe after the first of the year one will be a Wolf head and the other will have a Christmas tree with presents around it.
Did not find any Peterson Pipes but have more from family in storage that I need to get out and check.
Speaking a Christmas pipes, some folks always break out (no pun intended) a clay and smoke a few bowls during the holiday season. I think everyone should smoke a clay a few times at least, in order to get an idea what type experience pipe smokers had, prior to briar.
Also, if you are interested in learning about the history of pipe smoking, Richard Carlton Hacker's book "The Christmas Pipe," is a great read. It researches the days, when parents didn't have to be concerned about their children's exposure to pictures of Santa Claus clenching a pipe, and the libby's were more concerned with welfare reform and protesting the war.
If any of you want the information just let me know.
