It looks like it, if I want to join in on this next year, it looks like I need to start shopping and saving stuff starting today.

And cutting back on actual working hours to boot. Stupid reindeer "biscuit" breaks. It's killing the industry, and the environment.

Just got nuked. It is going to take a little time to annotate the beautiful carnage.

I am still doing some investigating to see who did this. The clu given doesn’t match location of start per tracking. I will solve this.

Thank you Santa. Some incredible stuff in the box.

When we were in Vegas in October, I bought some stuff from a CVS store and while the clerk was giving me my change, I spotted a bunch of PWOs! Given the amount of people behind me, I figured I’d come back later and buy them all but sadly never got a chance to go back.

Oh, the disappointment! Brick wall

Aaaahhhhaaaaaaaa. Figured it out. Great clue but it went totally over my head. Here is what I had to do.

I copied the list of players. Then went through the ones that have already fessed up. Which narrowed the field down to nine suspects. With a tracking origin of Chicago Heights, I was able to “eliminate” a few that I knew weren’t anywhere near that area.

As a hoarder of messages, I was able to look back to some of the folks on the list and try to figure out where they are from. There is this one guy who is from Northwest Indiana and when I located his city.....everything clicked.

He clue in the package was a photo of a sunset with palm trees and a small beach. Son of a Biotch, it is SUNOVERBEACH!!!!!


Well played my friend, well played.

Very relieved everything made it there David. I could hear the bottle slosh every time the box moved and thought it might get flagged or just plain snatched. I'd remembered you lost a cutter, but no, didn't realize it was that one.

Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

I knew there would be a high chance of ridicule over that, but dammit those things are tasty. Just the right size, good firmness and texture. Heck, I'd pop Duke's sausage in my mouth anytime Anxious

I forgot to mention what he did to me. The box had a return address for TigerCDW. I was like W T actual F? I even PM'd Corey to ask if Tiger was in the Secret Santa I was so confused! The letter was signed )%###&* Go Blue... took me a day to figure out the word was Hint Go Blue. My cat has better handwriting! Really had me going for a goof 24 hours..... I was like "Maybe Tiger is doing the 12 steps and is on the make amends step?" BTW I smoked one of the MF Le Bijou''s from 2016. It was FANTASTIC!

Ok, Apologies again for the delay. Listed below is the complete and unabridged listing of the holiday destruction laid upon me by AKDave. Maybe overkill is an inherent part of Eskimo culture. Maybe he just doesn't know when to say when. Who knows? I am quite pleased to be the recipient of this cornucopia of goodness though and looking forward to making use of all of it over the next 3-5 years. Thank you Dave for your boundless generosity. I am, in a word, flabbergasted, maybe gobsmacked. Take your pick. Also, great work on the holiday poem. I assume to be an original work and I will be posting it once I get over my fear of carpal tunnel

Disclaimer: Generally I make a point to list details such as specific vitolas and never hads. Ain't nobody got time for that chit here. Suffice to say sizes run the gamut and I haven't tried a whole bunch of them.

The swag:
- A one of a kind custom ashtray with SOB and a sun over a beach engraved in it
- What I believe to be an ice pick (too big to poke cigars with, and Dave correct me if needed) with my name and cbid handle engraved in it
- tequila serving set, including tray, shot glasses, both lime and chili salts, and small bowls assuming to serve the salts
- paintball figurine Xmas ornament
- box of matches
- V-cutter
- Metal tube travel humidor with built in hygrometer
- T-shirt with EA/DG across it. (Them's the natural bass string notes for those not rhythm section inclined)

The consumables:
- bottle of Republic Anejo Tequila
- unlabeled mason jar of some more tequila Dave has been barrel aging for a couple of months (thanks for pointing this out in your note. I find unlabeled yellowish liquids fairly ominous)
- Henry Clay mints
- Wood's Rum Barrel Aged Maple Syrup (almost tried a shot of this on general principal, but holding out for pancakes)
- A$$ Kickin Habanero popcorn
- A$$ Kickin Carolina Reaper popcorn
- Spontaneous Combustion Ghost Pepper popcorn (ah ghost pepper. My old nemesis. We meet again)
- Burn Sauces Extreme Burn 3million SU High Grade Pepper Extract
- Satan's Blood 800,000 SU Chile Extract
- Nitroglycerin pills for post extract revival (ok, these weren't in there, but going to look into getting some)

The smoke:
- Montecristo #2 cc
- Partagas Serie E No. 2 cc
- HDM Epicure No 2 cc
- HDM corona cc
- RYJ Wide Churchill cc
- LGC Exclusivo Italian cc
- Ramon Allones cc

- Opus X Lost City
- Stolen Throne Crook of the Crown
- And a Gomez Sanchez Family Leyanda #1 that comes in its own little open faced coffin

I think that covers it. Sweet lord! Is anyone else here as excited for me as I am?
Dave, once again thank you, gracias, mahalo, merci, grazi, domo arigato...... I hope you get the point.
