Somebody please send me some this year. I'll bet that 99% of us joking about it have never tried it, and I want to be in the 1% that has...

It will ghost the box it is sent in. I sent some to @Servant King and he sent it back. Not everyone digs it, but I enjoy it on occasion. I almost wish I had gotten more than one tub, but I smoke it infrequently enough that it could last long enough.

Some art history for you guys.... Just to class up this thread. To set the spirit for Christmas, sculptor Paul McCarty, not to be confused with the Beatle guy, was asked to create a Christmas based sculpture for a renown art fair. So, he broke a Christmas tree down into its most basic form for this seasonal work of art, entitled "Tree."
Fa la la la ahhhhhhh!!!

You have to work your way up to it. First smoke Elwood Flake, then Holly's Non Plus Ultra.

Here's a review of Holly's from 2006, well before the quality of everything began sliding downhill:

"The memory of this tobacco haunts me to this day. I have severed all ties with the person who insisted I try it, and destroyed the pipe it was smoked in.
Things I would rather smoke than this blend: -C4 -Donald Trump's hairpiece -The powdered brains of my own children
The only worse-tasting tobacco I've ever encountered was when a friend of mine took some chopped up pieces of a tree, put them in a bag, and gave them to me as a joke."

After this, you should be ready for Captain Black Grape.

I sent some to @Servant King and he sent it back.
Well, I'm in the latter half of my thirties, and my eyes are starting to go a bit...I read "Grope" instead of grape, and knowing what pirates are known for doing out there on the high seas (you know, to take a break from all the looting and pillaging), I was understandably a little hesitant. Maybe next time I'll have some reading glasses handy, and as long as I don't drop the soap, I should be fine! puffy

All of the sudden I’m inspired with ideas of things to put in my wife’s stocking! Thanks cosmic!
