SS PSA:
Just to clear up some SS guessing confusion, the SFRs (possibly from a Tim K and possibly with a Florida address, and possibly originating in AK) stand a good chance of being a generous RAOK and a red herring for guessing Santa identity.

possibly

Well nothing's certain in this crazy little thing called life

Tim K is definitely my vote for Santa of the Year.

I’ll agree. He sent me the following
My father #1. I like that one
Cain m 654T never had but I like all the Cain / oliva I’ve had
Cohiba black I believe robusto. I like em
Aging room Quattro vibrato
Nub Cameroon never had a nub. I will smoke soon
Partagas1845 extra oscuro Rothschild never had
Kristoff kristania maduro toro never had any kristoff
La Gloria Cubana serie r think I have one around here somewhere
Diesel wicked. Never had. I like diesel sticks
Southern draw jacobs ladder “top rung” lancero. I’m a little excited about this one. I’ve had the jacobs ladder in toro and I liked it a lot.
I like lanceros a lot but only when I’m in that mood. I keep quite a few lanceros around. I’ve heard this one is killer so looking forward to it

Tim K. You’re a fine brother. I suspect I know just who you are. I read last years secret Santa Not a lot of fellas from Alaska on here that I’m aware of. Thank you

I’ve been wanting to post this somewhere. So here it is. Much appreciated!

Sorry guys been swamped with my full time job and my side business at home is keeping me pretty busy as well.
Throw in 2 little girls and family life , it gets hectic pretty quickly.

I didn't have time to itemize everything but here is a few pics ... The first two are the SS hit and the 3rd is what this Mysterious Tim K hit me with today..... I'm pretty sure I know who he is bc there's one specific cigar he sent that is a store exclusive that is my Shpo lol and I'm pretty sure I sent him a few.

As far as my guess on my SS I don't have a clue yet... need to look at the contents again to see if there's a hint I missed!

Thanks Santa ...Awesome Hit!!

My official Secret Santa package arrived today. I am humbled. Truly.

I will post the list tomorrow because I need to type it on the computer rather than the iPad. Highlights……49 cigars plus booze, treats, and other goodies. I know 100% who it is.

My Secret Santa slipped up on my front deck very quietly sometime yesterday. Found a package hiding behind a potted plant when I went out to warm up my van for work this morning. I will try to open it carefully tonight to try and limit the damages.... Thank you to my Secret Santa I'll post contents tonight.

Well, Mailman acted as an accessory to a serious bomb drop today! Damage was done and i will now use the contents while recovering. Damage and link to pic below.


Something to eat...
Box of Liquor filled chocolate bottles these will be perfect for a little Christmas eve sweetness while watching White Christmas which is a Christmas eve tradition in out house.

Something to Drink...
Jefferson's Small Batch Bourbon (good everyday drinker and this will replace my almost empty bottle. not sure if mu SS saw me post about it in the what you drinking thread or just coincidence)

Something to Smoke...
4x AF Hemingway Work of Art Short Story esq Figurado - big fan of the Short Story and Fuente in general so cant wait to try these out
1x Oliva Serie G 3.75X48 Figurado, its soooo cuuuuute! great little dog walker for these colder months
AND the BIGUN - Tatuaje Monster Mash Coffin shaped 14 Cigar Sampler Box (2021 edition i believe) Ive never had any of these and have eyed this box since it came out but could never pull the trigger so a big THANKYOU to my SS!!!

Something to think about...
the remaining items i believe are meant to serve as my "Clue"
2x 20 Euro Cent Coins
1x Lt. COLONEL/05 coin
1x Air Force logo Shot Glass

This required a little sleuthing on my part as i don't know many of you beyond brief exchanges on the forums. The only Participating Member i am aware of with a Service Background in the AF is Stinger 88 with his retire status he certainly put in the years to earn the 05 Rank, I have no idea what the 2 Euro Coins are supposed to be telling me but i assume Stinger served in Europe at some point?

I may be off base (pun intended) here but that is my guess until i am told otherwise, Either way it is a great hit from whoever sent it and i think you for making my first CBID SS a pleasant experience. Hopefully my gift lives up to what i received in the eyes of its recipient.

Them monsters are good you will like them.

Awesome job Santa

Well awesome job to all the Santa's

Santa dropped through. I’ll post up later. There’s a cold beer in here I’m gonna have to try. I’ll post up later

---

First off Santa left me a bottle of Elijah Craig small batch I really enjoy a good bourbon. Fine choice Santa. I usually drink makers mark Cause it’s pretty good n cheapish. I have had this one. I fuggin like it awesome I like whiskey

Next up a Russian imperial stout. From bells brewery out in Michigan
This here is a mans beer. I’m working at it. 13.4%. Rugged. Delicious. I’m already drinking it. Lol

Next we’ve got a bottle of sauce Smoking Romeo Peach it’s a habanero peach sauce. Looking forward to it. I like peppers and peaches just never had them together. I don’t collect hot sauces but I prolly have 10 bottles to be used. Love it. Way cool

Also a Washington capitals coffee travel cup. Dig it. I love the caps. I’m gonna wash it up and it’s going to be my go to I always wash new cups and plates and stuff. I’m funny like that. Dope!

Now for some smokes. Might need a little help on the ID

X2 20 acre farm robusto. I think these are the new drew estates smokes?? I’ve heard of them but never had and wasn’t paying complete attention when I read of them
X2 partagas serie D #4
Illusione 888 believe this is a toro. I like these. Very good stick
Viaja oro I’m calling this a Churchill. Just had one of these I scored in trade from delta. Made me think this hit was from delta. But after more pondering I dont believe so love this one
Tatuaje monster olive green band red/orange trim. Never had any of the monsters. Looking forward to it though. I like tatuaje in general
Padron 1964 maduro in a tube. I’ve never seen this. Square tubo. Robusto ish in size. Nice looking smoke. Never had this or the natural. Looking forward to this one as well
Fuente anejo torpedo maybe? Long cedar sleeve. Never had I don’t think. I’m not sure why but I haven’t smoked many fuente. I like the crap outta em. All the ones I’ve tried have been gifts.
Montecristo #2 I’ve never had these. Tried to buy a box from a guy on a different forum a bit back. He never gave me a price. So I’ve been wanting to try one of these just to see if the hype is real. This one won’t stick around long and he’s getting charred.

So after drinking the beer and studying the sauce that were indicative of the clue. I think I’m gonna have to guess my Santa is Hinza

---

Hinza is out in Michigan Where they make the sauce and beer. So am I correct?


Thank you very much for the fine smokes and drank. I’m looking forward to having some of that whiskey soon. Might even pour some in my new travel cup. Break it in correctly.

---

Santas are coming hard and fast now. Nice looking hits, fellas!

Great guess Jake! Hope you like the hit.

I'm a big time Maduro guy, but the 20 acre farm was one of my favorite new releases this year

The tats are monsters (Hyde's) that I love

Fuente is the Anejo 888

If you're ever looking for monte's or psd4 I have a local reliable source so just let me know.

The Elijah Craig bottle is a store pick single barrel selected by my local store (brotherhood of the barrel), it's a really fantastic version of EC so I hope you enjoy!

And finally ..my shameless plug... The Smokin Romeo Peach sauce from Meat Daddy BBQ is my sauce from the small business I just started! I'd love to hear what you think.

In fact, for all of you azzhats, if you want to try some, go to my website www.meatdaddyque.com and use promo code CBID to get 50% off your order! I may through in a small bombing with your sauce as well 🤔

Oh I’ll move that sauce to the top of my rotation. Very cool. I will check out the website as well. Thank you again nice smokes

Hinza I will order some for sure .

Order placed! I LOVE a good hot sauce and my faves tend to be Habanero mixed with sweet/fruit like Mango or Pineapple so peach sounds delicious! Cant wait and happy to support a BOTL.
