Words come up short to describe the wonderful gift I received. Nonetheless, I offer my sincerest thanks and well wishes to my secret Santa. My Santa correctly deduced that I am quite fond of pipeweed and all things middle earth. I received a gorgeous handcrafted pipe. The artist took the time to ad such details as scales, ridges in the wings, and a textured area around the dragon. In addition to the varying textures, the pipe also includes a range of colors from a deep chestnut brown to a lovely toasted wheat. The pipe is a delight to use as it smokes very evenly. Screens are also included and they are doing well to prevent clogs and preserve my longbottom leaf. A pipe this fine must have a name-I shall call him Ancalagon. The pipe travelled over 5000 miles to get to my door, it was well worth the wait. Simply put, the gift is perfect and I shall cherish it for the rest of my days. Thank you Santa!
