Package sent and a strange package received from an unknown individual!
I haven't ordered anything off the Bay recently and it's not a business name, so I'm guessing it's from Santa. Now to wait another 14 days to open it!

| Spoke with my Secret Santa. He spoke with wife and the eagle has landed. I repeat the eagle has landed. He is away on trip until next week. I am more excited for him to open than I was to receive mine. We were a match so figuring out who sent was pretty easy. That and we live about 20 mins apart. Great match Dan and thank you for great event! I was so glad to get rid of 14 lb bag of Captain Black Grape! | |||||||||
I felt the same way about the 6lbs of Polish Condor Plug I unloaded onto some poor rube!
Shipping concerns led me to arrange delivery direct from the supplier in the recipient's "neighborhood" so to speak, after consultation with supplier after he had a chance to review the preferences, so instead of all the way here and all the way back there, it will be on its way tomorrow! Should easily arrive well ahead of Christmas, only regret I couldn't include a personal note.
Does this include a slot which I can smoke my pipe through? If so where can I buy!
No idea who my Santa is... Can't wait to see what's in the box though....
It’s exactly 10 hours later and I just pulled into the parking lot of the post office.
My wife bought a Covid mask similar to this at Hallmark. She hasn't worn it yet. I might hide it from her..."No honey, I haven't seen your Santa mask".
"Honey have you seen my package from SP? It says it was delivered today"
"No, maybe its wherever that Santa mask is Scott"
Ohhhhh. What if our wives were lurking on this forum?

"What's all this about a Chinese pipe, Mike?"
Due for decent snowfall in the Mountains this weekend, glad I live in the valley?
should get a bit here as well.
Or..."Mike, who is this Mina that is private messaging you in the middle of the night"?
Well, the postman came and left and didn’t have the last pieces of my puzzle. The tracking updated to something like “in transit to the final destination. Delivery later than expected.”
So, in spite of all the hype, I’m gonna take your advice and just get two tins in the mail so my victim has something to open. I could send it partial, but it’s just not the same.
I’ll spill the beans since it doesn’t matter anymore - I was trying to put together a Christmas themed box. I had the Cringle Flake flake from this year and last year, a Peterson’s Christmas pipe, and years 2013 - 2016 of Christmas Cheer. I’m still waiting on the pipe and two of the Christmas Cheers (‘13 & ‘15). Both packages were supposed to be delivered today.
I thought it was a good idea, but you’re right. It turned into too much of a hassle and it probably wouldn’t have made it in time. This way I can make sure the target gets a couple tins (hopefully) and I’ll be guns loaded this time next year!!
@BarrelProof now you can blame USPS delays for when you get snapped smoking the Christmas cheer in your new Peterson!
Wow, “Santa” did awesome!! They truly went above and beyond. I’ve been dying to try all 3 of these, and the G.L. Pease tins both have 6 years of age on them. #blessed
Mine did the same thing! Was getting ready for "Plan B" and Lo and Behold was delivered today...
I just opened some triple play with 7 years on it and wow. Completely pulled me out of my burley only mindset
