Well it looks like we got everyone wrapped except for Mr. Bluenoser up north of the border. Seems his is still hung somewhere in the system but hopefully it makes it thru fairly soon.
Merry Christmas all you pipers. Was fun sitting and watching the destruction from the sidelines !
Merry Christmas @AndyCAYP ! Blessings to you and your family.
Hope you enjoy!
Merry Christmas to ALL you piping Bums!

I was getting low in pipe cleaners and have been wanting to get a pipe stand and new tool so right there it was a hit. Then to tack on some tins of stuff I haven't yet tried and a handy herf-a-dor. The only cob I own was my grandfathers and I don't want to use it so I've been really wanting to get one to try. And the little knife went on the key ring the moment I noticed it. Thank you for the wonderful gift!
Party at Blake's house, byop bring your own pipe! Nice
I am relieved that you finally received the package! I had images of you having to pay lots of cash in duties and taxes based on a video that I saw on Youtube about Canadians buying tobacco online from the US. I'm glad that didn't happen. I'm glad that you are happy with it. Have a great new year!Quote:

Thanks again and happy new year to you and the rest of the bums hanging around here!
