I love this event every year. Carlos has done yet another outstanding job. Thanks so much man!

Ken was one of the most generous and humble men I have ever had the pleasure associating with. When I was new to pipes, I think on the old board, I got him as a secret santa recipient. He must have figured I over did it with the tobacco because he ended up sending me more than I gave him a...

Happy Birthday Hermit!!! It's been a pleasure getting to know you these last few years. Hope you enjoy your day.

The pipe is amazingly light and hangs in the mouth perfectly. Some of the better stem work I have seen as well. I'm going to really enjoy smoking it, I can tell already.

Sorry for the delay gentlemen. I was very spoiled this year by Santa. I received a pipe from his very own workshop. I don't know about you guys but there is no more treasured gift I can think of than a masterpiece crafted by his own hands. Want to see it? (He also takes better photos than I do.)...

I had some stuff come up and wasn't around. I received word that I have a box at home waiting so as soon as I'm able I'll report.

Orientals is a broad term and their tastes can vary greatly. Some spicy, some sour and some I've heard described as incense or floral. Virginia's usually add a sweet, hay like taste but again that will vary with curing methods and what not.

I almost want to buy it. Been to their stores in Seattle and met the family. They are pretty proud of the history of the company so it might be a cool thing to take to them.

Sometimes I don't even hide it. :lol: One year I received a pipe book with an inscription from the sender. The next year I added one and sent it off to my recipient. So no mystery there. I was kind of hoping that book would make it's way around though. Maybe it still is...

All my orders will have arrived by tomorrow. Just need to get some local stuff to finish it off. I'm excited. :twisted:

Not fun at all. Hope it resolves quickly Vitosan.

Congrats! :cheers:

Pease's Barbary Coast is what I smoke around others. The smell is awesome and I love the flavor. Takes some practice to get the smoking down on it but once you get in the zone it's lovely stuff.

That just brought back a horrible memory. I was out Christmas shopping with my daughter when she was six or seven. We were walking through the mall and she was chewing on some jelly beans. She stopped me and said, "Dad, I found a coconut one. Aren't they your favorite?" I told her they were and...

Dang, I'm on the ball this year... Already researched, decided and ordered. Feel kind of sorry for my recipient. Not sure if I'm giving a gift or a burden. :twisted:

I like it. Listing prices seem a little high at the moment but I'm sure that's just to protect the seller because there isn't many registered users at the moment. Starting bid is the same as the buy it now price on a few items? Seems pretty silly to place a bid when that's the case, just buy the...

Thanks again guys. That Dark Fired sounds pretty good. Natch, I think you're correct. I haven't had the urge to spend all my money on PAD/TAD for a while and now that I'm reading about it again I feel it kicking in. :lol:

Thanks guys. Looks like I haven't missed too much but some interesting blends have been mentioned. PD, you haven't tried Jackknife Plug yet? That's crazy talk man.

So I haven't been around the forum or even been keeping up on the pipe world at all lately. With the weather getting gloomy I've been really missing it. Could you all be so kind as to fill me in on any new exciting blends that have come out within the last 12 months? I really need to get back in...

I'm in... Haven't been around much lately but I haven't missed a Secret Santa yet. It's my favorite thing the board does. And wow... Five years.
