Christmas oratorio: christmass gifts and auto-gifts

A bit late, but here is the first part. My collection is still not a collection but I really enjoy them:

Greetings

Louis

Thank you, fellows! Glad you like it.

Here comes the second part:

Hamzah Darmawam. Reverse calabash (Blackwood and japan ebonite)

And:

Zitat von petephil

And very nice again. Also like the wood-looks-like-bamoboo carving, never seen it done this way.

It also looked curious to me. This one came with slight scratches on the surface but nothing critical, just the varnish. I can survive.

Hi Louis,

you were very busy over christmas too - welcome to the club

BR - Manni

Indeed Manni! I went crazy !! Still waiting for more!! Post-office here is collapsed

I tested the Morta yesterday (with Xmass Cheers 2000) and it was almost perfect. I decided to take good care of myself these days

Zitat von rolf

Hello Louis,

that is a extrordinary and fine selection of pipes you have acquired or auto-gifted

I like all of them very much, but the Rizza (tall Dublin) with the stunning mouthpiece decoration would be my favorite

Have lots of fun with them

Best regards,

Rolf

Zitat von TheStoneOfThor

Hola Louis y feliz navidad y un feliz a~no nuevo posteriormente,

crazy new Pipes, congratulations. You have an eye for a very special kind of freestyles.

I'm impressed by the mouthpieces of the first serie of your christmas pipes (I think,

Santa, or los reyes magnos, hasn't enough space in his/their bag for both ).

A cumberland, which structure is so fine and full of contrasts, I like it and will

have an eye on it in future.

Enjoy your regalos

Muchas gracias Thorsten! Feliz año para ti también.

Glad you like the pipes! I'm sure I will enjoy them.

It will be a good year for all of us sharing good moments around here.

Zitat von Karlo

Hi Louis,

2 more fine pipes. Blackwood seems to be good for a good looking

rusticationing and like Phil, I find the bamboo in such way very attractive.

Greetings Karlo

Yes, Karlo! think this craftsman did a good job with the rustication. The pics don't let us see but the sunlight brings out nice and. subtil colour reflections.

I'm really happy.

Greetings

Louis

Now the third part that comes with more beauty: first this

And the next is a gorgeous piece from fellow Tobias:
