Sure. Why not. Sounds like a great idea!

got mine today thanks santa

 

[bluegrasspipe]

Santa sent my package for me last week. I emailed Dan and didn’t mention it on here.. This has been fun to keep an eye on.

Woodsroad, I have a couple of possums that would be a perfect Easter bunny exchange..

 

[woodsroad]

Nice haul, username, but someone didn't read the rules, did they?

 

[beefeater33]

Mine arrived today!! It went under the tree, and I will open it on Christmas Eve........ Thanks Santa!......... ::

 

[didache]

Yay! Mine arrived today. It came via a third party (for reasons too complicated to mention here) so I didn't realise it was a Secret Santa until I had opened it. Also, because it came through someone else, it really is a mystery to me who my generous benefactor is.
So, here are the goodies ...

Black Frigate is one of my favourites, so thanks Santa for that! I will crack that tin on Christmas Day.
Thanks also for the Cotton 1 & 2 which is new to me. I like Cotton Smyrna, so I am sure I will enjoy this one too.
Finally, as a lovely bonus, some Stokkebye 310 Black Latakia - I will have fun experimenting with that one!
So, thanks to my mystery Santa, thanks to the third party who got it to me, and thanks to Dan for organising all this :clap:

Arrived today and treated myself to an early gift opening.

One of my favorites and one to add to my little cellar. I've yet to try the 40th Anniversary, but I know I'll like it.

 

[woodsroad]

Didache, this was one of the more surreptitious maneuvers that I've seen, hiding behind a third party to mask identity. You may want to have those tobaccos analyzed before you smoke them. Or just send them to me for proper disposal!

Or just send them to me for proper disposal!

Like you don't have enough John Cotton's.

 

[woodsroad]

Enough? What means "enough"?

 

[jvnshr]

Enough? What means "enough"?

Owning the whole company maybe?

 

[woodsroad]

Nah, I still have to buy it, like anyone else. It just costs me a little less.

 

[jvnshr]

Nah, I still have to buy it, like anyone else.

That's how you handle a business, sir :clap:

 

[eltice]

Got mine today, can’t wait to open them up! Thanks Santa!

 

[7ach]

Package was picked up today

 

[jpmcwjr]

Received in great form, no dented tins, very nice handwritten notes, and included some BS!
—that'd be Bengal Slices! As I'd been moaning about lack of availability.
Thanks, Santa, thanks very much. Thoughtful and timely.

 

[woodsroad]

What am I looking at here? That looks like a bag, not a tin.

 

[condorlover1]

Nah Dan thats a kosher tin of celebrated Fungal Slices. It just looks odd as it is wrapped in a plastic bag. Remember the sack of that stuff we had in Chicago and the guy with the 'Steam Shovel' pipe who could empty a taster jar in under 30 seconds? :rofl:

 

[jpmcwjr]

Hah! The tin of BS was put under 40,000 psi for a week, so I am told, and thus is a 1/4" disc. Too big for my DVD player though.
The tin is wrapped, and will be opened Christmas day. There's another bag of a rare tobacco, and some special soap.

I thought it was a piece of fruitcake or something!
