The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2018 Thread!

I think we all would love to taste some out of production McClelland goodness, but what does one with a fully stocked cellar hope for? More of what you know you like or simply a surprise?

Seriously, if you draw my name, feel free to sent whatever. I'm easy.

That's pretty much how I feel. I posted a couple of days ago that I'm willing to try anything...so many blends I haven't tried.

Giving is the gift that keeps on giving.

I take that as a given.

what does one with a fully stocked cellar hope for?

I like to think that I have a fully stocked cellar, but then I get a blend that I realize is very common (because so many people love it) and I've never tried it (maybe because I'm a snob), and it turns out to be the perfect gift. That's how I got my first tin of Frog Morton!
But, like Tim, my enjoyment really comes from giving. And from hosting this crazy scheme (Thanks, Pruss!)

One with a fully stocked cellar doesn't worry about it. That's why one has a full stocked cellar. But one can enjoy a surprise tin of Chateau Guano, or bring it to a pipe club meeting and pass it around to people who might enjoy it. For one with a fully stocked cellar, it's about giving and sharing.

Well said, Jesse.

And it is because of this mentality I keep coming back to follow these posts, a lot of good people on this board! Also learned how to smoke a pipe in about half the time if I tried it on my own!

[jvnshr]

Easy to please, eh, Javan!?! That's great. I hope I draw you....

So, hopefully you will be the one sending me a tin of FVF, right?

 

[jamban]

I'm all the way in Malaysia... Would love to join in the fun if the distance doesn't matter to the rest of you. ;{D

I would love to see a few more of our members in on this. It really is an fun time.

 

[woodsroad]

Talk it up with your PM friends, guys!

 

[mikethompson]

What does one do if they have no friends? Asking for a friend...

 

[samw74]

37! That's more like it! But it's still an odd number. Please join in sharing some Holiday cheer!
