2012 Christmas Pipes for my sons

Several years ago I started a tradition of making Christmas pipes for my sons. They all three smoke, one a little less than the others, but all three enjoy the tradition, or at least humor me with it!

The 2011 Christmas Pipes were smooth Lovats, and Christmas 2010 was the first year of making the boys pipes for Christmas. They were different shapes for each. The very first, 2006 Christmas pipe was for for my middle son, John, who loves Bulldogs and loves Christmas, and was the only son smoking pipes at the time.

Here are the 2012 special edition Christmas pipes. They are straight blasted bulldogs with Ebonite stems and Celluloid Ivory accents. This is a fun tradition! Especially enjoyed smoking pipes with them after a wonderful Christmas dinner.
