(un)Official Secret Santa 2015

[andystewart]

My Secret Santa arrived from Peck - how very exciting! The wonderful blends were almost (but not quite) secondary to direct contact with the Great Man... :D

As you can see, Peck was very generous and I'm grateful. Kajun Kake, Triple Play (2013), Tudor Castle (2012), Virginia Cream, and McClelland Christmas Cheer 2012. Thank you, Peck! The addition of Mary MacLeod's shortbread was a lovely touch and was a real hit with my wife!
I hope that you all enjoy your SS and that you and your families have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
PAT - I sent my SS and it was received by Jesse. Sorry I forgot to post.

Package arrive today. Placed it under the tree and there it shall await Christmas day.

 

[shaintiques]

Mine should have arrived to my SS last week. I hope it did. I can't find the tracking receipt. It's around here somewhere.

Patiently waiting...

 

[gloucesterman]

davet, Priceless picture.

 

[mrbigglesworth]

UPS says package is in Illinois. Still has some traveling to do. Should be there Monday the 12th. Wow, that's over a week's time from being shipped!

Sorry, Dave.
This is the first time I've checked this thread since I signed on.
Santa Shain's Package arrived last Saturday and was the first gift placed under our Christmas tree. (To be opened Christmas Day.)
Potpourri, huh? You do know this is a pipe tobacco smoking forum, don't you? If not, my bride thanks you.
BTW, I'm awfully glad professional baseball hitter, Ben Zobrist, went to the Cubs and not an American League team where he can rain hell-fire & damnation cycling through KC on a regular basis. That young man is a class act and I'm sincerely glad he's getting his last big paycheck with my third favorite baseball team.

No problem Jim. Everybody likes potpourri especially the smokeable kind.

Just dropped off my Secret Santa gift at the post office.

 

[edwinbaz]

Funny thing happened: I dropped mine today and, as I was driving to the post office I remembered the PToMC had arrived at my parent's house. I called my sister and she said I had 2 packages. "Awesome!" I told her to please open the PToMC and tell me what it was. Escudo and a H&H Signature blend called Drawing Room (I downgraded to the Non-Aromatic option). Well, so far so good great. She says "Can I open the other one? I love opening presents." Meh, why the hell not? So I told her yes. She said it was from Brass. "Well, what are the tobaccos inside?" "There's one called Squadron Leader" she said. I involuntarily giggled. I love SL and it has been out of stock at P&C for a while. "The other one?", I asked. "Finest English Mottled Flake." Ok. I've never heard of that one, but, it says English and flake, so sounds pretty great. Well, I dropped the package off and headed to her house.

Below is the picture of what I got for my Secret Santa. Hahaha. You can imagine my surprise when I found out what the "Finest English Mottled Flake" was. As for the SL, I've never tried the Perique version. I couldn't have gotten a better gift even if I had picked out my own tins. Pax: you sir are a scholar and a gentleman. I assure you... Nay! I promise you that they will be greatly enjoyed. Best wishes to you this season!

As to my Secret Santa victim giftee: Sorry for the delay! But, the box is on it's merry way.
