The mailman came today and my wife thought I got a package in for work. I told her the only thing I was expecting was cigars sometime this month. She said well this package is way too big to be cigars it has to be parts for one of your machines.
I asked her to read the label - Ralph's Post Office from Olymipa, WA - yep that's gotta be Santa.
So I rush home after my meeting this morning to see what is inside. I lift the lid and see nothing but foam peanuts! Nicely done I thought expecting to sift through a massive amount of peanuts to find a few cigars nestled in the center. Boy was I wrong. A BAGFULL of goodies. I had to separate the wrapping that I was pulling out to make sure I didn't throw anything away.

And very cool cigar band Christmas ornament. A clear globe filled with various bands of cigars I'm assuming my Secret Santa has smoked over the past year. It is very nicely done and I think my wife will let me put it on our tree since it looks so cool.
I'm pretty positive my Secret Santa is NW Stogie. Thanks for the hit I'm blown away!
