The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2020!

Count me IN !!!!!!

I forgot to put up my preferences.

What I submitted with my entry form was anything but aros. However, after reading through some of the old threads, I’ll also point out that I really think I’d enjoy a birth year Dunhill (1985).

Kidding. Holy shit some of you guys went over the top.

I have thoroughly enjoyed SPC’s Plum Pudding Special Reserve and Penzance. That’s kinda my sweet spot, not really sure what else fits a similar bill... Seriously, if it’s not an aro and you like it, send it.

Lastly, apologizing in advance, I have no intentions of following the 2 tin rule. I’m in the process of offloading what I consider to be a substantial cellar and intend to include some of it in my shipment. I don’t mean to offend anyone and if I receive two packs of Captain Black in my SS package, I’m 100% satisfied with the result and don’t feel any ill will towards whomever sent it.

Slap my wrist if you must. If it’s a complete dealbreaker, someone please let me know. I’d rather not piss everyone off in doing this, but if it’s an acceptable gesture, I’d love to go bananas a little bit...

Honestly speaking, the real dealbreaker here is you telling what you are going to do. You are not pissing anyone. I have been participating in Secret Santa since 2016, there was a time I sent only 2 pouches, because I couldn't find any pipe tobacco here in Azerbaijan, and then there was a time I sent some little samplers with 2 tins. We have a 2 tin rule for sure, but do you warn the police right before crossing at red light?

It was an attempt at full-disclosure/honesty to avoid fallout later on.

And I’m a knucklehead. Going bananas could literally mean someone gets a bunch of bananas with my package. Crypsis is key, when the name of the game quite literally implies as much.

I'll never forget how special I use to feel.

You will almost always be special, Tim.
