The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2019!

[trouttimes]

Family came over and we opened packages, I know, it's not time yet but chances are I'll be working on Christmas. Thank you so much Santa. I had to break into the Consummate Gentleman. I have been looking at this blend for a while and it was all I hoped it would be..

Christmas plans with family just got moved up a couple of days, my great-nephew got leave (Navy) and is coming in from Seattle right now.
Sooo, I went ahead and opened my Secret Santa package.
What a GREAT bundle of goodies!!
Three tins of new-to-me blends, a koozie, and a sweet little LHS Cutty.
THANK YOU SANTA!!!



Since I sent an SS package to @bluegrassbrian last year, it easy to recognize his Kentucky address.
THANK YOU BRIAN!!

I'm working all week and Wednesday is starting to look busy, so that will be my excuse for early exploration of my Secret Santa package.

Today, I opened said package and must share an official, "Holy (insert deity) !"

I feel like a dirty thief with such a score, but that won't stop me from digging in, as they are all new to me!

Thank you Sable Claus! ?

You and me both. I did spend half the year on disability status at 40% my normal income, so that's my excuse...haha...

[mihailo]

i couldn't wait as I will be out of town, thank you very much to my secret Santa. I am looking forward to having an bowl or 12 while I'm away.

Mine arrived in the mail from Lexington Today. A can of the new Peterson Flake (looking forward to comparing to Dunhill) and a can of H&H Pure Virginia (a favorite that I am out of). I will crack one of the tins on Christmas Morning.

Thanks Hap!

Glad it arrived safely! I was a little worried, since I got it out a little late.

Hmmmm..... ???

 

[jpmcwjr]

Darn, some nice packages have arrived! I feel cheap, since I followed the two tin rule. And I opened mine a month ago, and have smoked half of it. Yum!

 

[BROBS]

I think some really followed the two sealed tin thing and I only sent sealed tins but would have sent more samples of loose stuff if I knew it was kosher.

Meanwhile...

Santa might have to either blow in or out to get the gifts in time!
