Sam, hope you were seated when you opened the packge, I could see you being floored. Gotta ask, is that a paneled, semipaneled or am I seeing lighting brilliance? panels on either side of the shank. The top and bottom of the shank are rounded. |

I'm still showing three guys who have not received their gifts. I may have missed one, but I have Ben888, Phantom Wolf and Briarbuck with no presents. I hope I've missed one. If you haven't received your gift, would you let me know please?

Mailed mine a full two weeks ago. Considering the holidays and customs, I'm sure it's still too early to worry.

There are huge backlogs due to recent PO strike in Canada. Package may show up before mid-January.

That is a beautifully carved pipe, one to treasure!
As for the mail, as of 12/13... if it hasn’t mailed by then, the USPS says it might not make it until after Christmas, and priority fees escalated through the holidays.
With all the online purchases, and time specific deliveries this time of year, it gets insane for the parcel services.

Unfortunately it wouldn't have made any difference. "Rolling" strikes started mid-November and ended about a week ago. Prime Minister had to interfere in order to end all that nonsense. Of cause PO is gonna take their sweet time now. |

January Christmas is better than no Christmas. Sorry Ben. We couldn't have planned for a post office strike. Thank you for being in Canada and still playing. Your Santee got his gift a while back, and liked it. Thanks Phantom for doing your part. Stupid strike. I'm now showing every gift is received except two, and they're on the way. Merry Christmas everyone; some fine presents you all sent |

Page 3, no way! Posted cause unopened packages are a temptation, that 1/2 lb of Stonehaven, Mc 5100, D&R Picayune, Bugler etc. may have been unsealed and leaking moisture into the heated environs.

after the USPS played hide and seek with my package, lol, it finally got here. My sneaky second Santa struck a home run. I got a very nice tin of McClelland Oriental -- Drama Reserve -- and an absolutely gorgeous and perfectly appropriate pipe! It is a GBD and came with a sleeve. I am in love.... Thank you very much, Santa!!!  |

Dude actually got you some Yenidje! Almost anyway, Basma and Yenidje are very similar olive oil tobaccos. The pipe turned out as nice as he described it. Not sure how he got the pic of you on it though.
