What a wonderful Christmas! Happy Ho HO everyone.

Lovely haul! Well done, Santa!

 

[dshpipes]

Wowowow! :shock: That may be the biggest haul yet. Santa's generosity knows no bounds!

 

[PipeLeisure]

Yup...you hit the mother load...well done Santa, you sure outdone yourself this time

 

[Frost]

Nice haul there Centurian. I'm interested to hear what you think of those teas. My wife is also a big fan of earl grey tea and she just told me that Rishi loose leaf is one of her favorites, so you may be in for a treat. Then again, she is a woman of questionable tastes sometimes (she married me after all), so who knows...lol :lol:

Edit:

PS - Sorry to hear about your mom, hope it all works out.

Holy cow!!! :affraid: what a haul! :cheers:

Well Brothers, Santa has arrived in Park Hills! The package from Santa exceeded my wildest expectations. I don't know where to begin, and am at a loss for words. I can't begin to thank Santa enough for this gesture.

Let's start with the collection: A Very Nice and signed Christmas Card, a beautiful box of Walker's Mincemeat Tarts, a Caribbean Rum Cake, A Beautiful Peterson Shannon 03 Smooth Fishtail Bent Pipe, 3 Padilla La Terraza Maduro Cigars, several ounces of Boswell's Best, a Tin of Peterson Irish Whiskey, a Tin of Peterson De Luxe Mixture, a Tin of Peterson Connoisseur's Choice, a Tin of McClelland Tastemaster Premium Aromatic, a Tin of McClelland 2011 Holiday Spirit pipe tobacco, and 2 packs of Long's Extra Absorbent Pipe Cleaners.

Sorry about the poor picture quality, my wife has the good camera. But, you'll get the idea.


Here's a shot of the collection:

And here's a shot of the Peterson Shannon:

Thanks again, Santa! I'll never forget this!

Very nice! Santa is awesome this year!

Santa seems to know no limits this year. He's being very generous. Speaking of generous, another elvish envelope made it's way to me today from one of Secret Santa's participants. Thank you PipeLeisure! I have never had Northwoods, but it's got all the right smelly characteristics to get me interested. Cathy turns her nose up at packages that often smell like cold, wet, grills. :santa:

 

[DrT999]

Great haul, Rob! (I take it you like mince pies and rum cake?) Hope you enjoy it all!

 

[Rob_In_MO]

Great haul, Rob! (I take it you like mince pies and rum cake?) Hope you enjoy it all!

Yes, definitely! The Mince Pies and Rum Cake probably won't last the week. And, I'll try out the Peterson Shannon this evening.:cheers:

Now comes the problem - which Tobacco to sample first? :scratch:

 

[Kyle Weiss]

Holy crap. Next someone's going to get a car with a red bow on it, filled with Rad Davis pipes and FVF in the trunk! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

The giving involved is amazing!!!

 

[Frost]

Wow, Very nice. Santa really is jingle bell hoppin' this year. Those mince pies wouldn't have even lasted long enough to get a picture here!

 

[PipeLeisure]

Awesome package Rob...and a fine peterson to top it off, VERY NICE!

No problem Carlos, let me know how you like it? Its one of my favorites.

Same here! I've had a craving for them ever since I saw the picture. :lol:

 

[dshpipes]

Wowza! Another incredible package! :cheers:

It blows my mind to see the generosity of the folks in this community. Santa has delivered some really nice gifts so far this year. I'm putting the last minute touches on mine; waiting until the last minute just in case outstanding orders show up in time. Rudolph PM'ed me and let me know that Santa will be using a jet for my delivery. That's a relief. It may be last minute, but Santa will get it there before Christmas. Congratulations to everyone on their gifts. Santa must be a pipe smoker?
Cheers & Health,
Milan

:affraid: Driven by a midget clown stripper? :affraid:

All joking aside, these are some serious Santa packages. Centurion 803, I hope it all works out well for your Mom.

That depends on how the little...uh... thing... fares out with no air holes poked in the box... may have to get Santa to the strip mall (haha) to buy another one. 8)
