I got a package today, and I wasn't expecting a package. Turns out, it was from SP. It contained a little leather-bound, hexagonal box with a lid and silver-colored knob. It's about the size of a watch box, I'd say. A bit smaller in every dimension. I assume it's intended to hold tobacco. The card just said "Merry Christmas."
Anybody else get this odd surprise?

No,
Cool, considering the amount of money spent on Christmas past, I should rate, but obviously not.
I really don’t care though, I am sure it is a calculated move on their part.

Still sounds nice of them. All I got was a calendar from my butcher. |

Reminds me of an SNL skit: "You put your WEED in there."
I got a card, but spent very little with them this year. I miss the P&C schwag, though.

It's pretty clearly a tchotchke kind of item, with "Smoking Pipes" embossed on the bottom. A nicer tchotchke, but a tchotchke. |

Makes me wonder what VIP level you are at SP. 🤔 I’m Silver VIP and only got a card.
