Either my SS is drop shipping, or Bezos thinks I deserve some random good chit this year.

No clues currently

I have a feeling this is going to be a Secret Santa/ Secret New Year’s Baby. All depends on the USPS.

Some are waiting for the sporadic fire to stop first.

As of today, it hasn't yet

Santa Hits Hard
Olmeca Altos Plata Tequila
Elijah Craig small batch bourbon
Old Smokey Moonshine cherries
Manhattan Special Espresso coffee soda
This day in Philadelphia Sports book
Philadelphia Eagles Gloves
A really nice ronxs lighter and fuel
Assorted treats and meat sticks
And an awesome assortment of CAO Alex Bradley DE and other cigars
And a hand crafted cigar ashtray smells real fresh of stain and oil so I think this is the big clue now to figure out who the crafty bassturd is? I think I have seen this work before here in the forums?
Will post a picture of it in the photo side

Got home tonight to find my porch collapsed under the weight of a Secret Santa Bombing.

The Eats
Jelly Beans
2 packs of Jerkey
Pack of pecan brittle
Pork Rinds
Jar of Kick ASS Hot Salsa
Jar of Apple Pie moon shine Jelly (my wife has already claimed for biscuits on Christmas Morning
Bag of Dirty Dozen Coffee
Bottle (in an outhouse box, lol) of ASSBlaster Hot Sauce

The Drink
Bottle of Fiddler Unison Bourbon, new to me but can’t wait to try

The Smokes and HOLY SMOKES!!!!
Box of Jericho Hill 12 Honest Men in Lancero BIG Fan of these
Box of Tatuaje Skinny Monster Sampler currently working through the coffin sampler and looking forward to trying the Skinny’s for the same blends!
Diamond Crown Toro Sampler The Family Collection, 2 I’ve had and love, 2 new to me and based on the others can’t wait
2015 Camacho Liberty Series, nh this year
3x Fuente Opus X in 3 differ Vitola I mean… nothing more to say
Warped maestro del tiempo NH
Blanco Above and Beyond great stick
2x diesel
2x Espinosa Reserva NH
2x crux nimphomaniac dark NH but intriguing
Sobremesa Brûlée Blue nh but really excited to try
JD Howard Reserve NH
Under crown sungrown
Under crown Maduro

The box’s yes, it took 2… had a name but as I don’t know most peoples names on here I was unsure at first but then the clue hit me… the last 16 cigars on the above list I believe were my clue as they were confusingly devided between 2 bags 8 in each even though they would have easily fit in 1… 88? Gotta be Stinger!

Thanks so much Santa!! Can not wait to dig into these and smoke my winter blues away as this storm is about to roll through. I only hope my recipient feels my gift lives up to what I received.

Happy Holidays ALL!

Santa got tired of farting around with drop ships and whapped me upside the skull. Damages to be reported as soon as Doc clears me through concussion protocol and I'm able to start counting and cataloging again

I got a box today as well. Based on a note I’d say with all certainty I’ve figured the sender out. It’s either child with a grudge or an extremely jealous Red Sox fan. Jealous of what I don’t even know.
Supposedly there is another box on the way I really don’t know. So for now, I’ll reserve judgment.

My Ring says that something landed yesterday. Not sure if it my SS package.

I am currently in Texas, freezing my a$$ off. Will be home on Monday.

Santa Dropped something on the porch.

One of my dogs is having spinal surgery, so dealing with that "S" right now, will damage report when I can.

Thanks in Advance, Santa.

So, I've been receiving some random skirmishes over the past week or so. The first one I figured Amazon mucked up one of my orders. Then as more random items arrived that I had interest in, I thought maybe I was drafted into beta testing for that predictive ordering stuff that was talked about a few years back. Then logic struck. My Santa was harassing me via free 2-day delivery.

The Warmup:
Coopers Cask Coffee - Thomas Tew Rum Barrel Aged - I'm excited to give this one a brew
Hellfire - Ritual - also looking forward to. I've had their Fiery Fool in the past
The 2022 Paqui One Chip Challenge - this one nearly killed me earlier this year. I'll probably try again on a full stomach
A pair of OSU Horseshoe 3D coasters - very cool
A bronze colored V-cut cigar cutter with a nifty engraved pattern along with what I thought might be an ornate crack pipe, but turned out to be a cigar poker. Also bronze colored and has a dragon or cat head on the handle
And single torch lighter which is probably better described as a multi tool. It's got some heft to it and is glossy metal. The bottom has a flip out punch cutter. Then the bottom also unscrews to become a cigar rest. Then just to cover all the bases, there's also a cigar poker stashed inside.

That was all apparently just to soften me up for the big one. The MOAB landed on me today with great vengeance and furious Christmas cheer. It was a two pronged LFR attack. The wanton destruction was devastating. Young children cried for their mommies. Grown men also cried for their mommies. Mommies simply wept. Once I clawed my way free from the rubble, steeled my reserve and dared to look through these weapons of mass generosity.

The main event:
A bag of Ghiradelli Gingerbread Cookie Milk Chocolate Squares. These were immediately hidden to prevent poaching by Mrs. Beach
A box of Hot Tamales
A box of Bottle Caps candies
Clearly diabetes is on the agenda for the holidays.
Then there was a gorgeous bottle of Flor de Cana 130th Anniversary rum. Surely this is more than my cheap azz deserves.

Speaking of more than I deserve, There were a couple of cigars. Now, I've mentioned once or twice that SOB is not low. I was obviously not heard. So, once again, I say unto thee, SOB is NOT low!!! Especially not now. Had a few. Haven't had several blends and sizes. It's t
oo much work to mark individually. You'll see.

1 box of 10 Espinosa Warhead VII churchills
1 Espinosa Laranja Escuro corona gorda
1 unbanded toro with no cello
1 unbanded toro with cello
1 unbanded toro with cello and a "limited edition 3" label
A little help on these 3 Santa?

1 Onyx Reserve toro
1 JDN Cuatro Cinco toro
5 JDN Dark Corojo Poderosos
2 Joya Silver Ultra
1 Stolen Throne 3 Kingdoms toro
1 Stolen Throne Crook of the Crown toro
1 Ashton Symmetry Prestige
1 Ashton VSG Sorcerer
1 Davidoff Nicaragua Diadema
1 Davidoff Nicaragua box pressed toro
1 LFD TCFKA Oscuro
1 Monte Espada Oscuro Guard
1 Romacraft Intemperance Mode 5
1 EZ All my Exes Maduro robusto
1 EZ Tantrum '14
1 Kristoff Maduro toro
1 Kristoff Corojo LE toro
1 Aging Room Bin #2 C Major
1 Diesel Wicked torpedo
1 1502 XO toro
1 AJF Belle Artes Maduro toro
1 Diamond Crown Julius Caesar corona
1 Macanudo Inspirado Black chruchill
1 LGC Serie R robusto
1 Foundation El Gueguense torpedo
1 Foundation The Wise Man Maduro robusto
4 Foundation The Tabernacle CT Broadleaf corona
4 Foundation The Tabernacle CT Broadleaf David & Goliath
1 Foundation The Tabernacle Havana Seed CT No 142 David & Goliath
5 Tat Fausto FT140
1 Tat Fausto Limited SA
1 Tat Series P robusto
1 Tat CQ2
5 Cuban Diplomat #2 - a cigar royalty site exclusive - Pepin rolled too
1 Rodriguez Primera Clase toro
1 Rodriguez Series 84 torpedo
1 Frederico Empire Private Reserve torpedo

Anyone else counting? I gave up. I think it's a 5er. There was also a Santa Xmas card that made me chuckle.

So I didn't notice a discernable clue in the box. However on the box I see the name Tim K****** (redacted in the event there's a real one out there). And since I have a mind like a slightly rusty steel trap, I recalled there was a flurry of bombings across the site last year, perpetrated by a Tim K******. The culprit was identified at the time by a very distinctive shipping origin. Therefore, I name my Santa as the geographically corrected FLDave. Many, many thanks to you, Dave. I am blown away by your endless generosity, and look forward to every last bit of the included... except maybe the One Chip. That one frightens me a little.

For the visually stimulated:
