Holy Santa-Bombed-the-Hell-Out-of-Me!
Went into the office this morning and found two boxes waiting for me, a LFR and a MFR (...the skinnier rectangular version...). The LFR was from a "Herman Munster" living at 1313 Mockingbird Lane, Detroit, MI and the MFR from Corey Sellers(WTF?!?!?!). "Herman Munster" hahahahaha! 🤣 Since radio silence had been broken last week, I was aware of the arrival date and it was gonna be from CelticBomber. But good ol' StePHen having some fun so hadda throw out the fake name and address! But what is this box from Corey? Hmm, gonna have a few words with that boy....
Anyway, got home and busted open the boxes. From "Herman" / Celtic / StePHen:
Cohiba cigar scissors - super nice, looks like made from 24k gold! This will definitely replace the cheapie pair I normally use.
Vertigo Montecristo table lighter - tried to win one of these a few times but never won one (...I know, I know, losing is a sign of weakness...)
8 oz. flask kit with funnel and two shot cups
375 ml Wild Turkey American Honey - nh
750 ml Bombay Sapphire Vapour Infused Gin - nh (...wifey is the gin drinker, she was smiling when she saw the bottle...)
750 ml Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon - timing is perfect! Been meaning to pick up a bottle.
All the bottles were neatly and well padded (...awesome lesson in how to ship liquids...) so everything was intact.
This was an awesome Secret Santa hit and quite frankly, if StePHen hadn't reached out to me, I don't know if there was a clue to help decipher who sent the goodies. Nonetheless, thank you very much brother! Worth the wait!
Okay, so now the "Corey Sellers" box...
I had hit Corey in the nOOb PIB so thought this was some sort of return fire.
WRONG!
There must be 50+ cigars in two bags plus a bag of Lucky Charms marshmallows. Oh wait a minute, Lucky Charms, with the little leprechaun guy dressed in green tights. Hahahaha! Now I get it. The little Irish dude = Celtic! That was a cool clue...plus, of course, we now have a bag of marshmallows to devour.
Gonna take a while to sort out the cigars (NC and CC) so will have to report back in a few days.
StePHen, you are too much man! Thanks again.
Edit: 56 total cigars (...full report in progress...)

Yes, it took me this long to figure out what my Secret Santa sent (...in terms of cigars...). I initially miscounted but once I bagged them up and worked up the list, the correct count is 59 cigars. Many favorites, many nh. Many with lots of age, many new stuff that I've been itching to try. It will take me years to smoke all of these (...hey, give me a break, I'm no Clint...). So, without further ado, the smokes (...one each unless noted...):
