I wish Eric was my taper.
Coincidentally Im a contractor & my taper of 20 years is also named Eric.
Unfortunately he's a cigarette guy.

Anyway, Awesome hit Santa Eric on a deserving BOTL!

Sun over beach -Dan, you are correct -and most welcome. Hope you enjoy it all. I had fun collecting and accumulating all the goodies.
The Buccanero El Capitan is from the now defunct Buccanero Cigar Company. Really nice and smooth.
The big Diesel is a d.7
The big dark unbanded is from a local b&m. It is a Nicaraguan blend with a maduro Sumatran? Wrapper. I had one last weekend and enjoyed it.
Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and Joyous New Year
Eric

PS - watch out for the Trimtab and Oyster City brews. They are high gravity and will sneak up on you.

Yes take some pics. BigGrin If you don't wanna do imgur or some other photo sharing you can send them to me and I'll upload them to my private web server. The photo approval in here is currently around a 2 month delay last time i checked. Sad

Awesome! I looked up tracking this morning and it said "Try back later." Thought I was going to have to go postal on the post office.

I'm very glad you enjoyed and relieved the box didn't disappear

I believe the “2nd package” arrived today. $50 gift card for buying a bottle of tequila. In the note, it mentions Washington. So, I think my clues are: Washington (state, I believe), FOG, and forgetting things. I am still stumped.

Thank you to my Secret Santa for the awesome box of AF Best Sellers, OU blanket, and the gift card. As I have stated before, “I love me some Fuentes!”, Sooners, and tequila.

David

(I will keep looking for more posts on here and try and figure out who my Santa is. )

Secret Santa 2020 https://imgur.com/gallery/InIx7mj

THANK YOU AL!

Delta is the SantaMAN!

All the ice has been bombed off the porch with this one!

I looked down at the box and just knew Sleigh bells were ringing and angels were getting their wings
There was huge dents in 2 corners so I was nervous

Picked it up and nearly threw my back out
I heard peaceful glug glug sounds so I knew all was well inside
Good thing I was careful with the box cutter as right on top was the first sack of PREMOS!
After pulling 2 more bags of beautifully cared for premium luxury cigars (mostly all from my wants list Awesome) I was immediately anxious to focus on the boxes going glug glug

The first open was an absolute favorite! Appleton Estate 12 year rare cask Jamaica rum!
I LOVE this stuff with an inordinate affection, the smile on my face was starting to hurt

The second box revealed the Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Kentucky straight Bourbon!
Wow, this is a legendary beverage! Thank you sir!

See's peanut brittle. Crunchy, nutty Goodness indeed!
See's chocolate marshmallow Christmas trees one each natural and Maduro! YES!

See's Peppermint Twists! Oh Yeah!

See's Candies Assorted Chocolates Keepsake Tin! Fine, I'll share... I guess.

The Premos;
Arturo Fuente Anejo -shark? Nh
Cote de Or L' Atelier 2017 box press toro - very nice!
H.Upman magnum 46 3/18 - I've been desperately wanting to try one of these treasures for a long time!
Illusione epernay Le Vie? Nh and as you know been wanting!
Kristoff Pistoff Corona Gorda, very tasty!
Litto Gomez Diez small batch no. 2 - Excellent !
Micallef Experiencia - very nice!
Micallef Gomez Sanchez Family Reata -nh
Padron 1964 Anniversary Exclusivo natural- YEAH!
Partagas Serie D no. 4 nh and YES been on my list!
Southern Draw Rose of Sharon Lancero - Yep another one off the list!
Tatuaje Cojonu 2012 x 3 all three have slightly different labels I believe I've had the one in the middle and of course these tats are the tits!
Warped La Colmena - Delta killed it!

Delta also included a beautiful poem with a fun riddle that pointed straight to Al the Generous and thoughtful BOTL of the year!
I thank God for you my brother and I thank you for your unspeakable gift!

I'm sure I missed something amongst this absurd pile but it will all be thoroughly enjoyed Al, Thanks again and Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Nicely done Delta!!!!

I answered the door today to see the mail lady standing there with clothes shredded to bits and smoke coming out of her hair. I think she felt the wrath of my Secret Santa much the same as I did. What a crazy package to open and with every item I was wowed a little more. I don't know if this person has ever been in my house but they knew exactly what I needed and was on top of my favorites list. I do have a guess but I will save that for the end.

Swag

Cigar Caddy Draw Enhancer ( I didn't have one and have thought about buying several times over, this is much appreciated)
Cigar Caddy Travel Humidor (an awesome green color, probably my new go to traveler)
Air Force portable device charger (think this was hint and who can't use a portable phone charger)
2- beer can koozies
Toney's Chocolonely (huge chocolate bar that looks so good)

Booze

2- JDub's Brewing Bell Cow Milk Chocolate Porter (looks like a local brewery and can't wait to crack one open)
Basil Dark Rye (How did they know this a favorite and I don't have a bottle in the house currently?)

Cigars

CAO Angry Santa
CAO Stingy Scrooge
CAO Wicked Winter 3 oldies there
PAN 64
PAM 64
Illusione 88
Caldwell Blind Man's Bluff
Tat Fausto
Tat Tainos Reserva
Tat TAA 51th (really liked these from his recent TAA releases)
La Mission
Tat Anarchy
Feunte Angel Share (prefer these over the opus line)
Fuente Shark
Bolivar Royal Corona
RASS
Bolivar LE 2009 (sick looking cigar that may be my xmas smoke if I pass on the Candy Cane I have left)

Last but not least a Skinny Monsters sampler box!!


This was so fun and I truly couldn't be more overwhelmed with the generosity and fact that there was definitely effort and thought put into this. Given that the address read Key West and the portable charger was Air Force I would take a stab at guessing my Secret Santa was Stinger. If I am right, I don't know how he did it because we have done a few trades in past and I was thinking I had ran out of new stuff to trade with him but this was the perfect secret Santa hit! If I am wrong and Stinger is not my SS then whomever it is really did one He ll of a job and it was much appreciated.

I'll try to get a pic but it is going to be hard to fit it all in photo.

Thank you so much for a great start to the holidays!!

I don't envy my BOTL and SOTL that live in the northeast. Ever since I moved west about 15 years ago, I haven't had to deal with snow or ice. Sure, it rains, but I ain't had to shovel rain yet.

My Santa bomb came yesterday and I opened it last night.

The first thing I see is the Single Barrel Blanton's. I have got into bourbon in the past year and have been searching for this bottle. Amazing and can't wait to try....

Then there was a Mothman Black IPA which I have not had.

He also packed some sweets from Sardis which I have not had. They look good.

Cigar List
1. LDF Air Binder Maestro -NH
2. DE Undercrown Shade - like
3. De Undercrown Maduro - love
4. DE Unico Feral - Love
5. Illusione Epernay Serie 2009 - NH
6. AF Maggie R 52 - like
7. Guardian of the Farm - Nightwatch - NH
8. H. Unmanned Corona Minor (Cuban) - NH
9. Montecristo Petit Edmundo (Cuban) - NH
10. LGC Panetela Larga (Cuban) - NH

I am guessing from the clue my Secret Santa is Gummy Jones.

Thank you so much. Can't wait to smoke and drink.
