I wrap the tins. I don't wrap very good...I do my best.

Roger that, happy little trees are in their way!

That's what my favorite Professor used to call his students...

It's all up to you, sir. I have never had a chance to wrap mine since I live in Azerbaijan and it is prohibited to send tobacco via mail. So I use a third party to send tobacco and I send another package from Azerbaijan which usually includes souvenirs. Out of two gifts I received one was wrapped and one not. Hope that was helpful.

I have my selections ready but will NOT ship before Thanksgiving out of principle!

I may have the wife wrap my tins up, nothing fancy.

 

[mikethompson]

I thought Thanksgiving was like a month ago?

 

[jpmcwjr]

Yes, it's Thanksgiving every day somewhere!

I guess all good things come to those who wait! I wrapped mine in bubble tape!
Professionally like SPC does!

 

[jpmcwjr]

Done and dusted. I have shipped! And am amazed I didn't put it off till a month from now.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Ahh that safe and satisfying feeling of knowing that your package is on its way, and you don't have to think about it anymore...

Forgive my observation that, with your name and address showing, it's only "half" a secret. No matter, I suppose. I suspect the number of participants in Romania might be counted on one hand (or finger).



After doing some forum research to determine what two blends my recipient didn't already have (not many), my shopping consisted of dragging boxes from beneath the bed until I found what I sought.

There is still the post office, however. It will likely be December before my package takes flight. A delicate balance of sloth and principle prohibits me from launching Christmas gifts before the Great American Turkey Genocide Day.

Jay ... there's no secret I am from the realm of Dracula .. so I guess I haven't spoiled anything. ? Not to mention that I think I am the only "vampire" on this forum. To my knowledge the other Romanian is virginialover and he lives in the US. So yeah... my parcel was sent far far away ... there I made things more secret.

I used to have a Romanian PSL, made by Cugir Arms Factory.



It was too nice and I was hesitant to shoot it, so I sold it. ?

Both years I participated the sender was well identified to me by note or card in the box. This year I ordered from smoking pipes as the send time will be significant, and I think the vendor will have better luck receiving the goods in Transylvania than from me directly. A note will be enclosed, but not a true Christmas card. May try snail mail on that one.

My package is all good and shipped! Can’t wait for all the unveiling photos to come!

thanks again to @woodsroad for putting this thing on and a big thanks to @scloyd for sponsoring me into the festivities!

Merry Festivus ya’ll!!

Mine will be going out as soon as I receive an order from P&C. I had to order a specific blend for my giftee that was not in my cellar.

Come on P&C...don't fail me now.
