Just Maybe

 

Some might guess I have some special connection to Santa Cjaus.  I don't.  Now, back when, Santa smoked a clay pipe.  But in my thinking with Frosty the Snowman and other myths about Christmas, Santa might decide on a cob pipe.  So, Santa told me to shop for a pretty cheap cob pipe for Christmas.  He thought if he were to smoke tobacco, Christmas Spice would seem like a good choice.

I like the name of the cob above.  It's called King's Laughter.  Santa thought the name fitting, but he's not a king or anything like one.  But he says laughter just sounds perfect for Christmas.  He asked how much it is and I asked him if $16.14 was cheap enough for a cob pipe.  He said it would last through Christmas Eve.  I told him the makers scoured an old pipe site where old discarded pioes were found and said the design goes back to the 1700's.  

He said he vaguely remembers cob pipes from back then.  He said the design, price, and name were just perfect.  I said although he's not a king, maybe he is like a Christmas king.  He said that it's the laughter he enjoys on Christmas.  He can hear it all the way to the Pole.  

I told Santa I've been smoking my Peterson Churchwarden pipe a lot and it does look like a pipe he'd smoke.  I said I'd order the cob pipe for him and that he should get it by Christmas Eve.  As for myself, I really don't want it, but it just looks like a pipe Santa would smoke on Christmas Eve while delivering presents.  He's just undecided about the tobacco.  I'm not too sure about it either.  It doesn't have either a lot of flavor or a Chistmas-y aroma.  I'd give it about a 3.75 out of five.  It gets 4.25 on Smoking Pipes reviews.  

Today it is again my Nordung Number 2 with my Tropical Export.  I've moved all my pipe stuff over to my son's place.  I only have the one pipe here and this tobacco.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.
