Enjoy Lance.

I guess the spackle knife was a give away.

Hopefully there are a bunch of N/H's in there for you.

A few are no longer in production -
The Camacho Maduro is from 2010 and is part of the OR.
Both Buccanero blends - El Capitan and Texas Star are from a manufacturer who closed down in 2016.
Hope you can find a few that are in your preferred profile.

Happy to assist if you have any questions - Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas and Happy Cha Nukka, glad to hear everything arrived safely. After reading about the Nerds diversion, I started to worry I didn't dampen the sound more.
Did you happen to catch the address I used for you....the lady at the post office gave me the hairy eyeball, and asked if it was going to THAT Ron Jeremy.....I told her no, that your middle name was Jeremy....LoL
I hope you find a few smokes in there that fit your wheelhouse, glad to hear there were some NHs in there.

Oh, and you can use that pancake mix to make WAFFLES, if that's your thing....BigGrin

I’mma guessing today would be just about the last day to send out without having to pay for Express service.

Not that anyone waited this long, right?

What a freaking smack down. And from the Mayor of Chicago to boot! Frankly, I'm honored. But dismayed that with all their issues she's distracting herself with humoring an old squid such as myself. LOL

So, let's begin with an overview of the site damage in general.

https://i.imgur.com/vvB4dSw.jpg

Now a more detailed damage assessment.

The beverages consist of A Weller Special Reserve and a Three Floyds Dark Lord Demonic Russian Imperial Stout. That is a NH stout that is way up on my I wanna try list! Nice.

https://i.imgur.com/yFORSRl.jpg

The Swag?
An Apache Armored travel case
A Plasencia ash tray
A very cool torch lighter and bottle opener.
A Beer on the Wall Sticker and bottle opener
And the tell tale, two OpFTH rocks Glasses.

https://i.imgur.com/OjjEeFm.jpg

The Cigars? Complete carnage.

My Father
a 5 Toro sampler
Don Pepin Blue Original (Love these)
#4 Lancero (The Wombat missed out on this one!) NH
La Antiguedad Corona Grande NH
La Antiguedad Toro Gordo NH
MF The Judge NH

Arturo Fuentes
Anejo 46 NH
Hemingway Classic NH
Queen B Love these
Hemingway Work of Art (I think) NH

Olivia MB3 Churchill New vitola
Olivia MB3 Torpedo New vitola

Tatuaje
Pudgy Monster "Tiff" (?) NH
Tatuaje Seleccion de Cazador (Brown Label) Lancero (NH) (Wombat's weeping again!)
Tatuaje Havana VI (Love these)
Tatuaje Black short robusto NH

Liga Privada 9 NH, and very excited to try this one.

And last but absolutely not least, the CC's

Partagas Serie 4 NH
Hoya De Monterrey Habano NH
Por Larranga PLPC NH

https://i.imgur.com/UXKQB8s.jpg

I'm calling a huge thanks to our Ukranian buddy Ypetryna. I will admit to being confused as he alluded to being out? But the OpFTH swag and Beer on the wall goods point to his local. That's my best guess anyhow,.

I'm floored. Great Santa smackdown. Some amazing smokes, an absolutely perfect selection, I'm very excited to try these. Great beverages and cool swag to boot! Going to be a good holiday around here!

Thanks Yaro!

Oh yeah. My carrier is pissed. Did I mention she's on light duty? LOL

There were two LFR boxes combined to make one huge as heavy cube, wrapped in kraft paper and completely sealed with packing tape. That alone was a work of art.

I have actually cut kevlar vests off of folks easier than I opened this one. LOL

As the sirens fade away, the bomb squad packs up its gear, and the crater blends in with the rest of the potholes here in the frozen wastes of Maine I sit here wondering what magic was used to pack all this stuff in one box:

Colibri Man O' War Ruination cutter
2 Packs Clint & Sons Beef Jerky original and Black Label
Jar of Texas Texas Salsa
Jar of Pepper Works Jalapenos (looks like a spicy suppah tonight)
2 Bags of Cafe Ole coffee Texas Pecan and Taste of Austin

5 H.R. Blue Toros (nh)
5 Fuente King B (it's a guess, I'm not all that familiar with Fuente, nh)
10Cuesta Rey Centro Fino Sungrown (nh).

My guess for my Secret Santa is Whistlebritches.
Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Glad everything made it there intact.

I hope you like that Maker's Mark, was tempted to pick one up for myself (...and still may as a present to myself...).

Edit: What happened to the One-Ton Chips? Or did I forget to pack them?

The AF's are Cuban Beli SG's and those Pepper Works candied jalapeno's are excellent with cream cheese on a bagel.Hope you like the coffee.....those two are the only coffee I drink with any flavoring at all and I love both.

There was also a bottle of Alamo Bourbon...…...please tell me this is just an oversight and it in fact was in the box.


Merry Christmas Bro

You know, that's actually a great idea. We have a local coffee shop, I'll shoot over there. Not a huge fan of charbucks anyway. Even without the non-coffee nonsense and drama.
