?? An Appeal To Canadian Members ??

[mikethompson]

Good Day eh,

As you may or may not be aware, every year Dan (@woodsroad ) organised a great forum-wide Secret Santa. It's a great way to share some blends and get some different ones in return.

*Here is a link to this years thread*

The Secret Santa is international, and members from anywhere can join. Last year there were two, 2 Canadian participants. Here comes the ask: if you have more than 75 posts please sign up to expand our pool of Santa's.

You have until the end of November to sign up, but the earlier the better, and the more the merrier.

Sorry, the thread says one must agree to be matched internationally. I’m not going to risk customs fees for an exchange. They can get very large.

I read Mike's post as asking more Canadian members to join so there's more than two Canadians to exchange with each other.

Just put in your preferences that you won’t receive tobacco from outside Canada. Worst case if their is an odd number of you participating, someone could always drop ship from @ben88

If there is a pool of Canadians you are matched with each other, where it gets dicey is if you are in Outer Mongolia.

Let's share the Xmas cheer this year boys - I've done two of these now and the first one the tins came all the way from New Zealand! (Still never managed to figure out who that was).

Hold up a second...

Santa? Is it you?

I wish I could say it were me ol’ Spinkie, but that would break my two secret Santa rules…1) never reveal your st nick, and 2) never ever send tobacco out of a country that is more heavily taxed than Canada. Haha

That makes sense - let me know if you see him though I still need to thank him!

What year was it?

What year was it?

Would have been 2019 - got a nifty patch too! See boys it’s fun and the more we get on board the less risk of any customs issues!

heavily taxed than Canada

Complaining about taxes is part of our national heritage



If you get this meme, we need you in the Secret Santa!

 

[mikethompson]

I swear in the past year we had half the population of Saskatchewan join. We need you now!

Still time to sign up!

 

[mikethompson]

There's still some time to sign up!

 

[mikethompson]

There's about 12 more days to sign up!

Nope!
You do NOT have to agree to ship internationally. In fact, it is slowly becoming impossible to ship tobacco in to many countries, including the EU. So the nore Canadian participants we have, and the more EU participants we have, the easier it is to match you up with a suitable Secret Santa.
C’mom over and join the fun!
