Looks like a calendar page to me. Maybe February, 2013?

[Scott A. Stultz]

Don't know if I'm going to do another calendar. The people who bought them really like them, but there don't seem to be enough who are willing to spend what I thought was a very small price to have one. It seems that the vast majority of pipe enthusiasts are not interested in paying for art that relates to pipe smoking, and the time and expense of creating and producing a quality art calendar proved itself a losing proposition for Tad and me. Despite what seemed to be good publicity and plenty of exposure on facebook, various pipe blogs, and selling at the Richmond and Las Vegas shows, we didn't even recoup our production costs, much less realize any profit for our efforts. I would have been happy with break even, but we didn't. It was very disappointing. I'd consider doing it again if I got an avalanche of requests, but as far as I can tell, most pipe collectors don't care about this kind of art. I'm glad you enjoy yours, though.
