Took me a minute to address the Secret Santa issue with Mrs. Spackler - our family does a Secret Santa Hit to each other as well and she thought the package was to be saved for Christmas Day. A quick check with the family cleared up that issue - now for the unwrapping.

First Santa's Letter - a nice warm letter wishing the Spackler's a Merry Christmas and on the obverse, a Christmas Cipher for us to decode. Very well done and executed Santa.

The Swag:
A V-notch cutter - don't have one and looks nice. Will need to give it a try.
A Foundation Cigar hat in Holiday Red and Green. Beautiful emblem on the crown as well. Thanks Santa

The Sweets:
Lindt Milk Chocolate Truffles - a Mrs Spackler favorite. The bag did not make it long after the pictures were taken
Ghiradelli Christmas Holiday Chocolate Squares. These are amazing,
Lindt Holiday Mint Truffles
Kit Kat Holiday minis
Reeses Mini Holiday cups
Lucky Charms Treats x 2 - I'm sure they are part of the clues but I'm clueless.
Nerds Grape & Strawberry candy
Nerds Rainbow candy

The Swill:
Rich & Rare Canadian Whisky - always enjoy a nice rye whisky

The Smokes: all stored neatly in a tupperware with a boveda packed inside to ensure a perfect arrival.

I am humbled by this overly generous Santa strike. One thing is for certain - I am not low!
Now the delivery reindeer tried to pull a fast one on this gift recipient. The shipping address was from a Florida location. I believe the home of a retired Air Force Colonel? and fellow BOTL. The give away was the sent from zip code posted by the USPS - and that 99XXX could only be from Anchorage Alaska. Home to the one and only AKDave! That makes Dave the prime target for sending this overflowing box of holiday joy. Thank you so very much. I am blown away by the hit.

Working on loading the picture - may need assistance but will do my best.

just got back from my daughter's house...we were celebrating our grand-daughter Amelia's 4th birthday...the celebration was just my wife and I and their family of four, and they live next door, so we're practically the same household...sad to not have the usual combined extended family and close friends gathering...can't wait til 2021...

as I relaxed in the recliner in the office, my wife came in... she came back after picking up the mail from the box at the end of the cul de sac...she was perplexed at first, then started giggling...she first said that the package was from "Hons U Ross??" and then she read it again and it dawned on her, so she giggled it out, "from Hands You Your Azz"...

oh crap...my Secret Santa package...

and what a package of smokeable and edible goodies, sugar free of course (so thoughtful to indulge me while looking out for my diabetes)...and also...... a tape measure to check the expansion of my waist after consuming the edibles...

I'll post the list of 30+ cigars and sweets tomorrow, along with a link to a photo ...gotta figure out how to pose every thing to take a picture... create the imgur account....and then do some research to figure what all the smokes are...

from the note in the box, seems this was a collaborative effort: the Secret Santa, Mr. Yourass, AKA Shaun341, had an elf helping him...the furry one himself, Wombat! Terrific one - two punch, gentlemen!!! Thank you so very much for the special Secret Santa gift.

PS: the note hints that a second package is planned...I say "enough" ...this was more than enough.

Lance must have used an extra large box, the cottonelles were a nice touch after all those hot snacks- looks like you need a new humidor, Clint.

For all of you who have noticed a “barnyard” smell on your sticks -
You now know why.

Just appreciate the fact that they have been thoroughly enjoyed before they get to you...
