They took the 2016 Savinelli Christmas Pipe Band, the Stem from their Cocktail line and a rusticated brown stummel and tossed it together. This is not original or unique and doesn’t say Christmas in anyway. This is repurposing old materials, which is fine, but the effort is lacking.

The price reflects the effort, so that is promising.

I'm not feeling it. The 2020 with the copper cap and Cumberland stem is my favorite.

Similar thoughts. It looks like a poor imitation of their Miele pipes.

My mistake. The Christmas pipe I was referring to was a Peterson.

I like the slight red stain on the pipes and then the red accent , along with a bit of red in the stem ... Its like Christmas with a little bit of hell to it . Christmas really is a bit hellish and I see it as fitting
