The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2019!

[canadianpuffer]

Since I am in dire need of a box to ship out a secret Santa for another group, I AM FORCED, against my own will to open my package from Spinkle aka Nathaniel!

Thank you so much. I have been eyeing that hood canal for some time - never tried it though! And I haven’t had Skiff mixture in years. It will be great to revisit. Thank you also for the very kind letter. Awesome good sir, just awesome!

I attached a photo hopefully you can all see it. Didn’t embed like the last pic I posted.

A couple of years ago I signed up for the USPS Informed Delivery where I get an email everyday with photos of the mail I will be receiving that day.

Today, I got an email stating that a package from New Jersey is arriving today. I'm not expecting any packages, haven't ordered anything recently. This could be my Secret Santa gift...

Secret Santa package was received today, from an address I seem to recognize.
I’ll give it a couple of weeks before opening, with no doubt it’s worth waiting for!!

Very relieved you like it my friend. I was a bit intimidated when I saw that recent Peretti order you posted! Merry Xmas to you and your fam!

My Secret Santa arrived today! I will be taking it to my other house where I am spending the holidays and put it under my tree! Thank you in advance!

I think it's the only present I don't know about! LOL!

My Secret Santa gift arrived today. Found a package from an unfamiliar address in the mailbox and since we are not expecting any packages this must be it.

I am waiting to open until Christmas Eve when our family is over. My eldest son and my son-in-law are also pipe smokers...they can share in my excitement.

Thank you Secret Santa

Thanks, Santa! I got a pretty big box. Maybe more than 2 tins? Yes!!!!

I may have TAD, but I’m always grateful. Very kind gift and perfect choices. My tastes are beyond eclectic, I like it all! Perhaps one day we will meet up for a bowl.

Came back from Thanksgiving trip to THIS:

now the only question is: should I wait 'til Christmas?

?

I was planning to Xray my package just to see what was inside but I think I'll wait until Christmas Day. To be honest its very touching to get a gift from a fellow pipe devotee. However if it contains Clan or Mixture 69 I will still be chuffed by the kind thought whilst I consider the possible blending ramifications!

Reading the news this morning, Walmart just pulled this sweater from shelves. Kinda explains how he is able to hit every home on the planet overnight...
