Much like Dan said to me two (three?) years ago,
"The job is yours until you trick someone else into doing it"

"The job is yours until you trick someone else into doing it"
ALERT: Canada Post advises that the strike by its employees has ended. However, international mail service to Canada is still suspended.
Sorry Comissar. I'll keep trying.

For whomever drew my name, I hope you used Jiffy Express… ha ha
Heard a thump on the porch. I leaped from my chair and lit up my torch. To my great surprise Som Besths himself sent me a prize. Not just a box with stuff tossed in like I might’ve sent but a box full of many a wrapped present. I’ll be tearing them open with libations in hand and shouting with joy Som Besths throughout the land!
I received my secret Santa package in the post this evening. Accompanying the three tins of unidentified pipe tobacco (I hope) was a very nice three-page poem. I suppose somewhere between the clever markings on the lids and the three pages of thematic versification I should be able to decipher exactly what trouble I may or may not get into. Thank you, Secret Santa for filling my holiday with a little bit of extra Christmas mystery. Happy Merry Som Besths All!
Is it too late to get in on this?
You'd be surprised at the PMs I get
After a long day of last minute errands, I stopped at the post office to mail this year's cards (at least they're earlier than last year), and the postal clerk handed me a box I both was and was not expecting. I opened it up, and was greeted with four neatly wrapped packages, as well as some rubber pipe bits and a brush which indicated that it was my turn to see what Santa had sent.
And what do we have here? Marvelous things!
Santa must have known that I've been looking for some good burley flavor. I've heard good things about Eight State Burley, but haven't yet opened one of the tins I bought this year. This is a nice 2021 tin, and I'm looking forward to giving it a try!
Golden Days of Yore is from 2020. Since I've already opened a tin of this year's offering, I'll let this one rest another year, and see how it is at 5 years old.
Santa also must have known that I've been browsing around the G.L. Pease reviews, because he sent me two tins: a 2019 Embarcadero, and a 2011 Lombard. The collector in me wants to stash them away for special occasions, but the realist in me knows that every day above ground is a special occasion: why wait? I'm eager to open these up and try them!
And somehow Santa knew that I forgot to order some rubber bits for the Peterson I'm getting for Christmas this year, and that my brush was appropriated for use with an art project, so he covered the littler things too.
Thank you very much for this package of Christmas cheer: it made my week. Happy Som Besths to you and all!

Your always top shelf in my book, wishing you and yours the Som Besthsiest Christmas ever!
