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.

Finally went through and checked out pic links. They look as good as they list. Also amused at the comments of people amazed by the bombing that is a cbid xmas. I think I left mine hidden. I'm reclusive like that.

Package arrived today.... A Customer service plaque? A Customer Focused pin and accompanying poem? There is no clue but, judging by the cigar selection I'm guessing Clint because it came out of Texas. List and pic to follow.... Holy cow....


EDIT: I signed up for SOB's Ponzi Scheme image service. List to follow.

1 Customer Service Plaque

Fantastic hit Santa.. Hell of a selection and I dont know where to even begin. Initially I thought it was from Gummy given the gummy bears, but it came from the wrong part of the country for that. Q Theres less on the board now, so I am going to go ahead and guess Benja, due to the incredibly well packed box and his history of great packing. Is that right, and what is that hot cocoa one?

Clint is correct, Hot Cocoa is a Cfed cigar and yes I was your SS, John.
I'm not much of a bourbon drinker but Still Austin is a straight bourbon made in Austin from all Texas sourced ingredients using a slow water reduction technique and a still named Nancy that was made in Scotland. It gets decent reviews and I'm hoping its in your wheelhouse of Bourbon.
The local bourbon, Pragers jerky, spicy pistachios and EZ coffee were my "texas" hints. The packing was my usual grab and smash. The bell was to hide the sloshing.
I'll be better prepared for next year after seeing the atomic Santa bombs being tossed across the country.
Merry Christmas to all!

Not sure what all this inadequacy chit is you're referring to. But if you're aiming for "better prepared," I respectfully request to not be your target next year. Not talking

Looks like my Secret Santa bomber has arrived. All week no packages. Today the wife sends a picture of a pile of packages at our front door. There is one with a return address of Secret Santa. Mrs Spackler decided to place it under the tree as my family does a Kris Kringle package each year and she thought it was from them. She won’t let me open it until the big day so there it sits. Just wanted to let Santa know it has arrived.

I’m hit and not sure I can get up. Santa delivered a sleigh full of a wide assortment of sweets, swag, swill and smokes. Over 30 cigars! Incredible hit Santa. The address threw me but the label gave it away. Will post the damages shortly as well as who I think is responsible.
Many thanks Santa.
