The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2017 Thread!

[woodsroad]

I'll be in Israel at Christmas time. I can see myself in December 25th, sitting in a Chinese restaurant in Jerusalem, eating Kosher gefilte fish egg rolls and checking out my friend's Secret Santa presents!

 

[pruss]

I'm in.
Dan, thanks so much for taking on the heavy lifting.
Please don't send me aromatics. Beyond that, I'm your huckleberry.

In regards to the Christmas morning opening, I'm afraid I'll have to pass on that. My daughter and son take the spotlight that morning. But I will check in as soon as I can.

Looking forward to this again. I enjoyed this thread so much last year. Everyone was so into it. I am open to any blend with a preference to trying something under the radar.

Please don't send me aromatics.

Where is Peck? It could have been a nice revenge.

 

[woodsroad]

I think that I may still have some Mixture 69 on the shelf, Pat!

I haven't been as active on here in a while but I do feel up some SS fun this year!

 

[woodsroad]

Good to have you aboard, Mike!

Info sent. Sorry to my recipient of not being able to gift 25 pnds of Stonehaven, but that's how it goes.

 

[woodsroad]

Yeah, I sucked all the fun out of it, eh Gecko?

 

[edwinbaz]

Info sent. I haven't been active in the forums recently - hopefully that'll change - but I participated in the Secret Santa 2 years ago and it was a fantastic experience.

Hope that I'm allowed to participate.

Marc why wouldn't you? The entry exam for this secret Santa is quite lax. You essentially need a pulse and a willingness send 100g of tobacco to a relative stranger
Sidebar: are we revealing our names in the packages we send or keeping it secret?

 

[woodsroad]

Please re-read the initial post. You need 75 posts to participate in the exchange. But feel free to hang around and join the discussion, Marc!

 

[mikethompson]

Sorry my mistake, yes there is a post threshold and time joined threshold to pass

 

[7ach]

I'm in. My preference is VA and VA/Pers

We're over 30 signups now!
And in the Fascinating Secret Santa Statistics Department, the most popular first name so far is "Mike" with 4 respondents. All of you Akemi's and Ottie's out there have some catching up to do.

I hesitated to sign up. It gets hard to keep track of things sometimes, but this is a really good group of people. I like Virginia flakes, strong English blends, and am not huge fan of overly strong aromatics, but I try anything once, so I don't care. I am a huge fan of plug tobaccos and those hard to acquire English and Irish plugs. But that's asking too much, lol. Looking forward to a fun Christmas morning with all of you.
