SS gift received.
Thank you kind stranger @Elric for the generous gift! I can infer that you must have quite the cellar, and generous heart. I saw you offering to send to others that didn’t participate, very kind.

I haven’t tried any of these, more than 1/2 are blends that I’ve been interested in.

An MM Little Devil Cutty
Amphora original
Wicked Scarecrow
C&D Sun Bear
MacBarren Vanilla Roll Cake
GH Rum Flake
SGwaith Perfection
A jar labeled SVH (I think I know what it is, smells quite good and a bit sweet)

Please forgive the clutter in the photo; the office is messy, I am in the middle of rearranging furniture.

All are intriguing and I’m quite excited to try them all!

A wonderful Secret Santa you've got there! Nice variety!

Package completed, sealed up and going out in USPS Priority Mail to the lucky recipient tomorrow morning!! I do hope my 'match' likes Mixture 61 and Klang (Chinese knock off of Clan) along with a rather interesting German offering not seen of recent called 'Himmler Slices'. I have included a few tins of Owl Pellet an early Standard Tobacco prototype that failed to gain market traction.

Tins are wrapped, and packed up with a card. Shipping label is printed out, and everything is boxed and ready to be dropped at the Post Office tomorrow for its trip to Indiana. Even put the box in the car already. You could say that my part of this year's Secret Santa, well, it is coming to an end...

Edit:
lets be a little less risque with the photos, I sub'd this one /Al

“to an end”, or “on an end”?

My gift was supposed to have landed yesterday. Updated tracking is saying tomorrow now. ‘‘Tis the season of delayed shipments I guess.

Well, I told you all that I wouldn’t wait until Christmas. I made it a few days! It’s been a nasty rainy weekend and opening this package was sure to brighten the sky’s of my mind. It didn’t fail. I’ve never been able to snag a tin of Campaign Dark Flake and am very excited to smoke through a tin. Old Gowrie is an old fav of which you can never have enough. Nothing needs to be said about the other, other than a welcomed addition in the red Virginia market. Many thanks to our humble host and to my secretest Santa!

My gift is all packed up and ready to be sent out tomorrow!

Package is out the door! Had to dig deep into the cellar and make a quick trip to a local store to complete the spread! Hope you love it, but I kept the sender secret just in case you don’t . Ignore the smell of purple cough syrup emanating from the box, I’m sure it’s unrelated to the contents.

The previous photo was nice, but a little on the suggestive side.

Merry Christmas! I should have relabeled that jar but was too excited to get the box out. Let me know if you want to know or guess first. I will give you a hint, it's circa 2005.

I assumed it was Sweet Vanilla Honeydew but your hint has me wondering. After a day out of the box, I don’t smell any vanilla, just chocolate raisins.

I’ll have to have a small bowl and see what I can identify.

Hmm, that might have to do with the vintage. Let me know if it's too "stale" and I will happily replace it. The VAs should be pretty mellow.
