The (Un)Official PipesMagazine Secret Santa 2021!

[SBC]

Woo-hoo!! I've received a gift from my Secret Santa and I couldn't be happier with it!





Throwing in a third tin and some homemade cookies (which I can confirm as of two minutes ago are delicious!) was unnecessarily generous!

I'm particularly excited because all three of these tobaccos have been on my radar to try, but I've never yet tried any of them

AND, both Chelsea Morning and Golden Sliced are dated 2012!!

I only wish that I knew who my Secret Santa was, so that I could thank him personally. Whoever you are, I'd love for you to PM me. If you don't want to, then please know that I feel extremely grateful to you, and wish you a very merry Christmas!

People like us better than they like you.
That's all.

Mine took less than 24 hours to get to me. Pics incoming. My Santa dropped my jaw. I thought I had Christmased my victim...I had no idea.

Maybe if you had kept up with the thread a little more....

You Canucks are so demure.

You sure those aren’t the mouldy broccoli Pattie’s @solideogloria86 was sending out?

Definitely not mine. Wrong shade of brown and conspicuous lack of any blue/green fuzz.

BOMBS AWAY!
This years delivery was a bit more difficult to pull off. The tins I was willing to donate were buried under a pool of muck that formed when the main sewer line exploded. I'm sure my grateful sucker target giftee will be able to power wash off the poo.

Happy Holidays!

Jesse, your dedication and selfless devotion is eternally humbling.

Thankfully, I dodged the @solideogloria86 bullet and received instead truly excellent cookies and tobaccos from @Michigan_Bill to whom I am exceedingly grateful!

Mike, I like you. And your ketchup chips. Especially your ketchup chips. But you too. ;-)

Pretty sure someone launched a package my way from this location today.

Is that what a post office looks like stateside? Looks more like a Masonic centre to me

That's what the one in Tenachapi, California looks like.
Here are two different post offices, both in my home town of Asheville, NC.
They come in various shapes and sizes.
