Goblin #10 "Grumblesnort" As the first of the Christmas season Goblins, this was an easy pipe to name - I just thought, "What sums up my feelings about the Christmas season?", and immediately said, "Ha!  It's Grumblesnort!"  I really don't like Christmas, or perhaps I should better say that I have a love/hate relationship with it.  While Halloween is great fun and no pressure, Christmas is one long madhouse of checklists and gift-shopping and shipping stuff to all corners of the globe and spending entire days out in the shop simply gift-wrapping and packing things.  I like buying and giving gifts to friends and family, it's just the wrapping and the mailing part that makes me grind my teeth.  But I digress from the pipe... Like Nottinspine before it, Grumblesnort is another Really Big Goblin with a massive ODA-sized bowl.  The bowl walls are a full 1.5cm thick all the way round, so it should both swallow a lot of tobacco and stay comfortable to hold down through the bowl.  It also has a really excellent ring-grain pattern to the sandblasting.  In general, it's like a bigger, rougher, longer, more massive version of the Seewocket.  Also like the others, it sports a handcut horn stem from St. Claude. But the funny thing about the pipe, when you consider its mass, is that it sits on three of the tiniest, daintiest little toes you can imagine - The feet aren't as broad as they were on the Seewocket, and instead come to tiny little ballerina-points.  Grumblesnort offers yet another variation of green stain, with ripples of browns and variations of green running across its surface. I hope some big-pipe lover out there will enjoy his new Christmas Goblin!
