Gift has been carefully selected and crafted around my match and their preference. If they preferred something else, then they should have posted about it over the last year. Went thru many many of their posts. Box weighed in just under 10 pounds, so we can call it a light weight.
Will try and get to the post office tomorrow.

BTW, I did get a pkg at my home, which I grabbed and brought inside earlier. I'm certain I haven't forgotten about an order I placed so I think my SS is on the ball and has accomplished his goal. It's a nice size too. But instead of opening right away, I think I need to wait until after I've sent another couple missiles out of my own. I've decided to do multiple packages for the fear of them being confiscated, and figure my chances of something getting through are better with a few smaller ones than one large one.

My match almost got the 12 days of Christmas…. I wanted to mail a box each day so they would get 1 box a day…. But I don’t know if the wife would mind or not, so I did it all in one

I was thinking of waiting until Christmas, but decided I should open the card, then after I opened the card I figured I could just open one of the presents, then after I opened one...

Not bad. I think the writing on the box gave away it was a secret.

In a circle of Santas all puffing with cheer,
Where tins clink like sleigh bells that all Santas hear,
Our secret tobacco swap’s halfway complete
With aromas delightful (plus one hint of horse meat!).

The Santas trade blends in a holiday flow,
While Santa Bingo cards flutter five in a row!
And usernames scribbled on tags everywhere
Are miss-spelled so badly they ruffle the air.

There’s SBC (>>), JWebb90 (xxr), and SLEVY007*,
Each name paired with symbols that sparkle and blur.
They glitter like codes from a mystical scheme,
Adding extra chaos to this festive dream.

Top listers and bottom listers alike have sent gifts,
From tins piled high to Mylar that drifts.
No one left out in this merry exchange,
Every sender adding to the whimsical range.

Then Questionable Sources, with boldness and flair,
Was first to share pics of his gifts with the lair.
A snapshot of treasures with glow mighty bright
Tobacco tins stacked like a chimney in flight!

And oh, all the Mylar! That shiny, slick stuff
Packed tight with fine leaf and sealed extra tough.
It crinkles like frost when a Santa digs in,
To reveal aging magic no tin can quite pin.

And presiding o’er all this leaf loving success,
Is Mike, our grand host, handling every last mess.
He organized, planned, kept the chaos controlled
A maestro of madness with tins trimmed in gold!

But the forum cries out “Bring more memes to the scene!
We’re tragically low on our Bad Santa routine!”
For laughter flows best when the mischief extremes,
Fueled by pipes, tins, and poorly behaved Christmas themes.

And whispers start rising through peppermint air:
“Still no McClelland tins?! Is that even fair?”
For seekers of ketchup-y treasures still dream,
But none have been spotted not one little seam.

There’s Burley for “Burli,” Virginia for “Veeh,”
And someone got Latakia “Was that meant for me?”
The swapping continues in peppermint snow,
With laughter that puffs in a warm winter glow.

So onward they puff in this leaf loving throng,
Where chaos is festive and cryptic names belong
For a halfway done game full of smoke, jokes, and cheer
Is the finest of fun at this time of the year.

SOM BESTHS!
