The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2018 Thread!

Evidently I have ZERO self control....I've not only opened my box, but I've been actively smoking the blends.

 

[donjgiles]

Looks like my recipient received their package on Wed, so that is a relief!

 

[weezell]

I got mine yesterday. Can NOT thank Santa enough! He must have read my mind on my favorite blends! :D

10 pages!

Today it arrived from the North! Wow! Very thoughtful. My Santa is one of the good guys.

Wait until the unboxing ceremony begins.

 

[dethmutt]

UGH!! yall are killing me... I will play next xmas, since my cellar is built.... What ya get, what ya get?!!!!

 

[wyfbane]

I GOT MY PRESENT!
It has been a rough couple of months, so I treated myself to an early opening. Glad I did.
So stoked! I have never tried Castello Fiammata or Stonehenge Flake. I am very excited. Thank you Santa!!

 

[mikethompson]

Who is left to send or receive?

 

[timt]

I’m still waiting by my mailbox, trying to hold myself together.

 

[scloyd]

My giftee received his. I'm still waiting. Actually, I hope it doesn't arrive until the 23rd because I'm not going to open until Christmas morning...less time to be tempted.

 

[crashthegrey]

I am a "wait until Christmas" kind of guy, but boy does it get tempting to open. I am glad that people have been happy with theirs who have decided to open!

 

[jguss]

Mine arrived today! Will try to wait until Christmas to open it up but honestly doubt that I’ll have enough willpower.

 

[rmpeeps]

Having received a package from the Jolly Old Elf back on the 23rd, the willpower is getting thin!

 

[jaytex1969]

I periodically gaze lovingly at my gifted stash, but I've held out so far. Only ten more days.
Of course, I could celebrate on the solstice, instead, and shorten my wait a few days... ::

Looks like the package I sent has been delivered! Very relieved. I hope it is enjoyed.

My package was picked up yesterday. It contained two blends I have not tried yet, a bent Falcon International stem (which I have never owned) and some accessories like a tobacco pouch, a tamper, pipe cleaners and softy bits. Thanks, Secret Santa. Oh, the tins are Sutliff Crumble Kake (VA/Perique) and Rimboche AP. Been wanting to check out some of the Daughters and Ryan tobaccos, so this is perfect.

 

[mikefu]

I caved and opened mine. My Santa is the best! A tin of one of my favorites, a tin I’ve been waiting to try, a couple other tasty treats, a cob, a can koozie, and a candle that is pipe tobacco scented. You really outdid yourself, Santa! Much appreciated!

Got my blessing yesterday and just decided to rip 'er open! My secret St. Nick sent Full Virginia Flake (with 4 years on it), a pouch of Salty Dogs (which I have been interested in trying), and Newminster 400 Superior Navy Flake (another new one for me). You done great Nicky!!
