Delivery date for my victim has moved up!
I received an email from King George’s Royal Mail letting me know that the package I sent has arrived. Hopefully, it made the recipient’s day a bit better.
Tracking says out for delivery!
Mine is delivered in my parcel locker, picking up tommorow or Friday, so no worries for my secret santa.
Santa Rosenthal 
stopped by with wonderful box containing Peterson tins. Thank you, zaydeh.

That’s no Santa.
That’s the Grinch.
Santa may have me on the naughty list this year for procrastination. I had boxed up my intended recipients items earlier last week and they were sitting in my work car waiting for me to drop off at USPS. I was quickly reminded yesterday when a mysterious box was delivered to me at work.
I use my work address for all package deliveries. Imagine my surprise when a department wide email comes out yesterday asking who "David Donutluvr" is because they have a package at the front desk. Of course, that set off a email chain of replies from all the Davids and numerous questions from co-workers.
Dropped my recipients package off today and was assured they will have it in Hawaii for Monday delivery. Cant wait for Christmas.

It most certainly did mate.
My secret Santa couldn’t have chosen better. Goodies included a pukka pouch of Bruno
Yay!!! Kendal Plug, which is another favourite & a plug & twist which I haven’t smoked in years. Quite excited to smoke those two again. Along with a pack of pipe cleaners (good ones too) feeling rather stoked. Thankyou so much!
Okay I waited about five days and then decided I could not wait any longer to open up my secret santa gift.
I am overwhelmed with joy and gratitude!! Stellar tobaccos gifted!
I was gifted a tin of Fusilier’s Ration, which I had picked up an ounce in bulk and loved it, so I am thrilled to have more!! Also included is BlackHouse, which I have so been wanting to try but have not picked any up, as it went head-to-head with Balkan Blue (a favorite), so I am ecstatic to have this in my rotation. Then also included was Sun Bear Mountain Flower, which is a Virginia Oriental and I have been wanting to try more Virginias and missed out on this small batch release, so I am over-the-moon now! And last, but not least, was included two cigars, which is super generous and I am excited to try them out!
This is very generous and kind, thank you Secret Santa!!!

I placed the order yesterday. I’m shocked it’s already there.It most certainly did mate.

After yesterdays events I knew the St Bruno was not only a good choice but a timely one. I can’t see from the pic but the Kendall Plug is supposed to be 50g. I’m glad to hear the other two are ones you haven’t smoked in awhile. Hopefully they will be nice to revisit.
Merry Christmas, Simon.
All of you international participants, please check your SS boxes carefully....
