[dshpipes]

Niiiiiiiiiiiice!

 

[i.keenum]

Scweet really love that pete.

 

[Natch]

Fine group of gentlemen we have here. I'm honored to be allowed into the herd.

Finally got my package out the other day, but unfortunately, the mule-mail delivery system we use in Arkieland is a bit slower than the rest of the country (I'd guess we're about 50 to 80 years behind the rest of the U.S.?). :lol:

:rendeer: Natch

Great haul, Mike - your Santa is one heck of a guy. I'm a fan of pretty much any Pete, and that one looks great.

Had to do a double take, though - for a second I thought you'd received "Bacon" Pipe Tobacco.

 

[i.keenum]

Any one tried the maple and bacon one yet?

 

[Centurian 803]

I have one of those Pete 80S's and it is one of my sweetest smokers. Congrats!! :santa: :rendeer:

 

[SPUD 15]

I will have to try some of the maple bacon. Who doesn't love bacon? Still stunned bt Santa can not believe the generosity. MIKE

 

[Kyle Weiss]

Holy gorgeous 80S!!! Mike, someone really got ya good! Couldn't have been to a cooler dude.

I thought that tin said "Bacon" too... :lol:

Overwhelmed! My first Peterson and a sandblast spigot fishtail at that! Thank you Secret Santa from Brothers of the Briar! Holiday bests to whoever you are and to all my brothers!

Many congrats to all the good boys and girls on their yuletide hauls, and many huzzahs to all the Santas on a job amazingly well done--this is my first X-mas at the BoB, and it's been astounding to follow this thread. We've got some dang good people on here, and it warms the cockles of even a grumpy old badger like myself. Murray Crimah!

Last night I got home a late after working more non paid overtime and I was just in a bad mood. Then my wife told me I had a box in the mail and when I opened it I was blown away. My secret santa struck, I am going to wait to say what it was until I can post pictures though.

 

[i.keenum]

You guys always out do your selves. Absolutely amazing job on all parts.

 

[Fishfuzz]

Awesome work everyone!

Ol' Santa is doing pretty good. However his elves are bouncing a couple packages around back and forth about the country. So don't panic yet. Things are still coming together.

ALSO! Important note! Make sure your PM boxes are not full. Delete something if you have to. I have one question to a member still sitting in my outbox. The quicker I get an answer to a question, the quicker I can fix something.

Like everyone else, I have been busy. Some of you folks are busy. Just do the best you can, we still have plenty of time. But check those weeds out on the side of the porch, just in case! Ho Ho Ho! :santa: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: :rendeer: ig:

Holy jumpin jingle bells, I'm flat out flabbergasted. Santa's package for me arrived the other day but I didn't get a chance to open until this morning.

Santa must be going a bit senile finally after all these years, he seems to have forgotten that I am definitely not a good boy and do not nearly deserve such gifts:




Tin of McC Deep Hollow
Tin of McC Aurora
Tin of well aged McB Burley.

Also several baggies with generous helpings of:

Tewksbury & Co Celtic BLend
DH London Mixture
Solani 660
McC Blackwood Flake
McB Plumcake

Furthermore, some fantastic local goodies:

Packets o' Justin's Almond Butter and Hazelnut Butter
Peppermint & Dark Chocolate Bar (already eaten, yumm :lol: )
Large cinnamon candy cane
Ghost powder salt (can't wait for the next batch of chilli, we love spicy stuff)

Plus, a pack of pipe cleaners and an awesome imperial nosewarmer pipe! All with very nice handwritten notes from secret santa.

This incredibly heartwarming, I really dont' have the words to express my gratitude. Thank you Santa! You rock!

:santa: :cheers:
