I got mine too from the same person I sent to... Shaintiques! How did he know I needed a new pipe rack for my expanding pipe collection? I have not opened the Christmas portion of the package yet... (I have a little will power Dave :D ...kidding he really didn't have much choice) But it was nice to have a little something to hold me over. Shortcut to Mushrooms... will try tomorrow on Thanksgiving. Thanks Dave
My package has shipped and should be to it's destination in 2 to 3 business days.
As stated before, my gift has arrived and I also didn't wait to open it. I wanted to go ahead and share a picture of the bounty.
1 Tin of Dunhill Aperitif
1.5 oz Semois La Brumeuse
2 ozs Luxury Bullseye Flake
1 Very Cool Little Pocket Knife
I have been meaning to try some of the Dunhill re-issues, just haven't gotten around to them yet. This tin of aperitif should get me going. Semois is another that I have been meaning to pickup but haven't yet and you can never have too much LBF around (especially aged).
The knife, on the other hand, was quite timely. I lost my pocket knife about 2 weeks ago and haven't been able to locate it. The Rockwell I received from P&C, while a fine blade (especially for the price), is a bit bulky and heavy for a carry knife. At least for me anyway as my work attire is slacks and not jeans. The knife I received from Santa is just perfect and has already been put to good use several times.
I just want to say thank you Jeff. Three great blends (two that are new to me) and a knife that I really needed. This was an awesome gift and hope you and yours have a great Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Very nice.
I ordered the present for my subject a few weeks ago and it just came in from Belgium. It will cost me a fortune in shipping but I am sure the inevitable delight in his eyes at the spirit of Christmas will make it worth the cost.

Well shit... Now what am I going to do? I can't return that much Semois... The Belgian authorities will think I'm trying to evade taxes... Damn you not-so-secret Santa and having to find presents for the man who has everything! Thank goodness Middleton had such a wide reach...
@Trailboss - nice work, pal. You hit the nail on the head there!

Apparently not. I'm paired with my person as well. That caught us out a little as we tried to learn preferences, then we figured it out.
