Showing just two that haven't been mailed, but there's a reason on Wolfman's present, and I've seen it, so should go out shortly. That just leaves LSU's present not mailed, but if it isn't sent by Thursday, I'm going to accept one of the three folks' offers to send him a present. If he ends up getting two, I ain't gonna lose no sleep over it.

Mail Lady dropped off a package from Thomasville Georgia, sent by one J. Golden. Figure he must be one of the codgers on the board, he's got a road named after him. Only granddaughter (so far) has a dance recital tonight and I'm pushing my time posting this. Plan the grand opening tomorrow, will post after. If he is a codger, than I must be dead and buried. |

Even I figured out who the shipper was.....he’s no codger. But a nice guy👍 |

My ex-best friend of forty years bought his dad's old house and land. His driveway was so long the county gave it a street name. His driveway. That's how you know you're too damn rich  |

Frigging Frackin low down no good So and So evil Elves!
Secert Santa box has been wrapped and put under the tree and I’ve
been told I can wait until Christmas.
So dear Secert Santa if it’s perishable or god forbid needs to be fed or watered.
Please tell David to let me know!
But something tells me even if it does, the no good stinking elves around here will take care of it and make me wait until Christmas!
P.S. I told the elves in this house they can’t be part of the Briar Patch.
We only have nice people here!

@isett: I've PMd your Santa. Tobacco needs to be jarred right away so it doesn't dry out, right?

My Secret Santa box arrived this afternoon via Secret Santa Postal Service  Oooooooooh Boy   Inside were two carefully wrapped packages:  Inside the big package is an English Sampler from Boswell's and the small package is a humidor bag for cigars and tobacco's. Attached to the bag is a wind cover for your bowl, and a pipe nail...  There are 7 one ounce bags inside the sampler, which includes the following: Titus, Northwoods, Mild English, Magnum Blend, Countryside, Imperial English, Railroad Station, and a box of Boswell's Matches...  This is a perfect gift of English tobacco's, and will be my smoking material for the next two months. Its interesting that one of the first English tobacco's I smoked was Northwoods back in 2008 through about 2010, and, I'd just been thinking about placing an order with Boswells for some Northwoods too (to rekindle the relationship). A blend I enjoyed that kind of reminded me of Northwoods was Kramer's Father Dempsey (Not the tinned stuff. The hand-blended stuff from Kramer's old shop in Beverly Hills, CA). Well, I have my work cut-out for me. A big thank you to my Secret Santa person. I love everything about this thoughtful gift. Its greatly appreciated...  |

@markinor : Pretty nice gift, and wrapped like a real Christmas present too!
@isett: Your Santa says there are some delicate items, so don't let the elves kick the box around, and says to tell you: Just tell him "nothing" is perishable.
PS After eveyone was paired and I thought I was done, I counted 247 Secret Santa PMs. I bet that's doubled by now |

My smokingpipes Sneaky Santa from I don't know who arrived! Can't post pics, but it's a full POUND of my favorite tobacco, LNF, and 300 pipe cleaners. Thank You very very much. I've found I can volumize the good tobacco by loading the top third of the bowl with Gambler, which I actually like, and am about down to the first LNF bowl in my Comoy's billiard.

@lsu: There was a bit of a fight over you, but you have package being assembled right now. If your original Santa pops up and sends you another one, we don't mind, but you're getting something.

It looks like I have two boxes from my secret santa. Now to decide if I can wait until Christmas. I doubt it.

Opened the package, Josh included a nice note with full disclosure. Would seem I'm hard to shop for (heard that from family often) it must be true. The contents look like this:  The PS LTF and C&D Pirate Kake I've smoked and enjoy, all else is new to me. A Tin each of the Sutliff Crumble Kakes, a jar of Sutliff 515RC Matured red Virginia and the PS LTF. Dunhill London Mixture and F&T Cut Virginia Plug round it all out. The F&T CVP I've been wanting to try, every time I've remembered it's been out of stock. Josh has done an excellent job of mining posts for tidbits to process. I'm impressed, didn't think I'd posted enough in the WAYS etc to leave a trail. A sincere Thank You, Merry Christmas and a Happy ,Healthy and Prosperous New Year to Josh & family. The same to all here, with a dash extra to Dave for running this operation. Enjoy! Greg |

Should be getting to the point where the rx's start rolling in. Are the tx's all done now?
PS
Josh, finished another bowl of the Matured Virginia, it's mild to me but may require an order...just got a bag of Red Odessa today.
Basil Meadows sent a tin of McCranies Red Flake with a pipe last year....pretty much spoiled me...unobtainium, a bad combination.

Rx to me is a prescription and TX is a state. What do you mean?
I can tell you all presents have been mailed, and I'm showing six not yet marked as received, but should be soon.
