Not participating in this after last year, someone sent me two half smoked tins that they had their grubby hands in and a used, uncleaned pipe. Pretty gross, also pretty disappointing when I'm sending people sealed tins + samples in heat sealed mylar.
Sorry to hear, but thankfully 99.99% of matches aren't like that.
If you reconsider for this year, well your a bit late.
Santa @wyfbane has been incredibly generous! Thanks a ton for the nice card and fantastic blends! You must’ve read my mind, I had plans of smoking Balkan flake last night but didn’t feel like rummaging to find a tin lol. Merry Christmas and many thanks!
I am so glad you are happy. Merry Christmas, my friend!
Honestly, I am shocked to hear that. Do try again next year. You can't get got twice in the PM Forum!
What do you mean, we have to mail it? 
@mikethompson sent it a while ago. Post office says it was delivered, but no news from the recipient.
Package sent and received according to USPS.
My God. I go away for a week end and I can't find the thread in the top active threads. Do you know how far down I had to scroll. I am so disappointed. Shame!
I'll be mailing mine this week. It doesn't have too far to travel so timing shan't be an issue.
Sheesh. My package departed on its 5 state campaign 6 days ago -- on the 3rd -- and as of this morning I learn that it's still in Wisconsin. I apologize for hailing from the boonies!
I know this isn’t the place to post this, but I don’t feel like starting a thread for it either… @solideogloria86 when are we going to see another trusty tobacco review? Surely the spirit of som besths could move you to throughly review the contents of some Christmas blends based on their tin art
You som of a besths, I'm in!
Not to harsh your mellow, but for me, and possibly other's here, Christmas 2024's Secret Santa is the best it's ever been.
My family never celebrated Christmas (we're Jewish...) and I never really celebrated the holiday until I married my wife (who was raised Lutheran, and is now Jew-ish). I got to see the whole family rewind, replaying the Xmas's of decades past. Not fun for me.
For many people, the holidays are more than not fun, they're lousy. My aunt was a foster parent and emergency intake caregiver for children. Christmas was always a full house there, as the stress of the season brought violence home for their holidays. Families melted down and got split up. Christmas at my aunt's house was always a raucous, wild affair, the most fantastic time those poor kids ever had in their whole entire life. Because their parent(s) were in jail.
So, I'm no fan of nostalgia. I've been there, and the present is where I'd much rather be.
