Just wondering if any of the Brothers have a particular Christmas Eve pipe?  For me, for many years, it has been a bowl of MacBaren's Plumcake in my bird dog meerschaum, my clay churchwarden, or one of my calabashes.  Interesting, as this is the only aromatic I smoke, and the only night of the year on which I smoke it, but somehow it just seems right - very Victorian, don'tchaknow!  So, what say ye?  Any Christmas Eve traditions out there?

Best to all from the snow-covered prairie, and God bless us, everyone!
 
Don't really have a "tradion" of a 'Fritmas pipe but this year I will sit down with the Altnok Bacchus meer my daughter sent me last "Fritmas filled with some 2013 Christmas Cheer Brother Aj sent me.

 
Never really had a special pipe for Christmas Eve....but this year is different.  I'm going to be smoking some AJN #2 in honor of my close friend AJ, in a Briar Spirit Pipe (apple) made by my close friend Kirk Fitzgerald, in honor of our friendship.

BoB has brought me close friends, tho we never met face to face.  Friends with whom I feel a kinship unlike any I've had before.

I'll be toasting BoB and its' members all over the world.
 
My future son-in-law and I enjoyed a Christmas Eve smoke. He had a GBD 9438 I restored for him (last years Christmas present) and I had a Comoys 489 Extraordinaire. He lives in New Orleans, so we don't often get to enjoy a pipe together.

 
I must still decide on a smoke for tonight (Christmas ). Wish I had some Escudo or OGS for the occasion.

My kids had dinner with us last night and I enjoyed a small cigar (Matelieff De Olifant) afterwards.

 
Well, I did say I'd smoke this one on Christmas morn with some Escudo but, I ended up smoking another Mastro instead.
Maybe New Years day. :suspect:
