Secret Santa

[papipeguy]

Very generous indeed.

Well my secret santa is awesome. Opened the box and it was just full of goodies.

I love the new tamper and the tobaccos smell amazing. He said it was a house blend from his tobacconist. Cant wait to give em a try. Ive never tried a corn cob or a pipe sweetener either so another first there. Also got a reamer to. I wanna give a huge thank you to my secret santa. You rock man.

No one should feel lame for what they gave. It is the thought of giving that counts. Hell if I would have just got a bag of Captain Black I would have been stoked because it was a gift from a friend that wanted to bring a smile to my face. Now with that said I am not a material person and I found people just particapating in this event to be gift enough.

Well I suppose I'll go ahead and open my gift up right about now.

Oooh I got a Peterson! Thank you excav8tor!

 

[python]

Nice gifts so far everyone!
There is only one problem.........we need more pics! :D

 

[bubbadreier]

I agree, more pictures!
Collin, I want to see that Peterson!

 

[thomc80]

Yes this thread is useless without pics :lol:

Happy Christmas Collin, one can never have too many Pete's. Had to put my address cos of customs but hey I hope it didn't detract too much from the Secret Santa ethos.
Well I opened mine just a few minutes ago and a very big THANK YOU to "Burley Claus". Must be Santa's brother from San Jose in CA. I bet you a pound of Dunhill 936 to a pinch of salt there's no bloody snow in CA!!!
Anyway, I got some baccy, which is great cos I need some of that. A sample of Altardis 'Frosty Mint', a sample of Mac Baren 7 Seas (regular) a sample of Lane Limited IQ and 50g of Cherrybomb.
There shall be some nice smells wafting round my house this Christmas for sure.
Many thanks 'Burley Claus' and Seasons Greetings to you and your's.

 

[thomc80]

Ive actually tried the Cherry Bomb its actually quite good.

 

[bubbadreier]

Who hasn't opened theirs yet or is going to wait until Christmas?

 

[papipeguy]

I'm holding off until Christmas morning although reading about everyone's packages in making me itchy.

 

[thomc80]

I could no longer resist lol.

 

[papipeguy]

I'm sure that I hear a voice in the box under the tree saying, "Take me, I'm yours."

An expression I never otherwise hear in the house.

I've been too damn busy with a looming deadline to open mine. That will change tonight as the project is finished until next month and I can finally relax.

I've come to the realization that seeing other people open gifts and posting pictures of them is just as good as receiving a gift. I want to see more pictures! :D

 

[jcsnaps]

I'll have to wait, as house rules no Christmas present is to be opened prior to Christmas. The other rule is any gift purchased after Halloween is automatically classified as a Christmas gift and must wait until Christmas morning.

Right, after two days here is that Peterson that excav8tor gave to me. Took so long because I brought my camera with me down to see family...but forgot the charger! So, using a borrowed P&S, the Peterson:

[thomc80]

Always fun getting new tobaccos XD.

 

[lordnoble]

Totally. I'm really interested in the C&D Consolation. Apparently, it's a Americanized English blend. It'll also be my first C&D tobacco that I've smoked.
