This morninig I watched the postal carrier exit his vehicle gingerly carrying a box. He carefully approached the porch and moved like a free safety back to his vehicle. I've never seen someone north of 300 lbs move that fast!
Looks like Santa was trying to throw me off the trail by using a different address. The massive box came with an overflowing abundance of booty. I'm still not quite sure who my Secret Santa is as there were no clues in the box as far as I could tell.
Now before I start listing let me first say how truly humbled I am by the generosity of my Secret Santa.
THANK YOU! It seems inadequate but I'm still stunned. So, simply and sincerely thank you for the amazing holiday gift.My Secret Santa obviously did his homework and hit me right in the kitchen!
The swag:
A Cold Steel Voyager folding knife! - Great for opening those pesky packages.
Key of Solomon CD - Listened to a bit. Is it all instrumental?
Xikar Ash Can - People seem to like these quite a bit. Can't wait to test it out.
Ronson Jetlite - Always lights no matter what fuel you use. Love em.
The booze:
Jar of what looks like Apple Pie moonshine. Will open later to verify.
The cigars:
Padron 2000 Maduro x5 - Great affordable cigar!
Tatuaje Petit Cazadore Reserva x5 - Was almost out! Like a 7th Reserva in a smaller package.
La Palina KB - NH. Can't wait to try this!
Perdomoe Ltd Cameroon PC - Been out of these for a while. Great short smoke!
Asylum 13 PC - NH. Hopefully better than the last one I had.
WOAM - Always a good stick and I was running out!
LAT 56 - Not had this size.
PAM 64 Diploma - Love me some PAM!
Tatuaje El Trifunado Lancero - Good solid stick.
Oliva Melanio PC - At least I think its the PC. Enjoyed the one I had. Look forward to re-visiting.
Tat TAA 2011 - Mmmmmmmmmmm!
HU Magnum 46 - Still on the fence. Appreciate the chance to have another!
As if that wasn't enough Santa trew in a Padron 88 Natural sampler AND a whole freaking box of Tatuaje 7th Reservas.
For those of you playing along at home that's 51 fraaking cigars.
Apparently Santa didn't appreciate being rushed either as he included a semi-threatening note with vows of a Part 2 to finish the job properly when I get back form vacation...
THANK YOU SANTA!!!
