Well Santa beat me up pretty good this year. It also appears he may not be done yet too. His note mentions that the elves have been slacking and shipping has been delayed. I guess I will be posting again later once the other shipment arrives. (after the holidays) Contents:

CIGARS:
5 - LFD Chapter One (Figurado): NH and can’t wait to try. Been looking forward to trying this cigar.
5 - Casa Cuevas Maduro (Toro): NH
5 - Club Mareva (Pyramid): NH I have heard very good things about this cigar.
5 - Diesel Whiskey Row Sherry Cask (Toro): I’ve had many time and enjoy quite a bit.

FOOD:
Inhale BBQ Pit Smoked Seed – These look like BBQ pumpkin seeds. Those should rock.
Rise’ n Roll Nutty Crunch – I know I’m going to love this.
Rise’ n Roll Christmas Jam – Looks good smells great.
Tres Leches Caramels – Another fan favorite, caramels.

ITEMS:
T-Shirt – Sawdust is Man Flitter - perfect for me and made the wife laugh for a bit.
Seattle Seahawks knife and lighter set.
Buffalo Puzzle – Beach and Sunset. (The obvious clue in this bombing)

Thank you Dan (Sunoverbeach) for a great selection of cigars and other stuff. It’s going to be a great Christmas around my house….

Buffalo Puzzle – Beach and Sunset. (The ingenious and complex clue which took hours of mental anguish to decipher)

FIFY - I was very relieved this part made it before you left. Hope you enjoy all and glad the snacks are up your alley. Word of warning: Don't let Mrs. AK try the seeds. I made that mistake and haven't been able to snatch a single seed since, through four separate bags.

hinzna I went to buy a couple of bottles but the shipping to AK was almost double the price of the sauce. 2 bottles would be $55.22, Maybe I can send you some cigars in trade....

Two boxes landed on my porch earlier this week. It has taken a few days to type up the damage list (the wife and I caught something while up in Ohio). Late last week, I received a pretty damn good RAOK from a certain “Tim Kaufman”. So, when these packages arrived from Tim, I was already pretty confident of who sent them. The Alaskan candies and Saintly Glogg assisted in my guess of AKDave as being my Secret Santa. He did a fantastic job with the selection of cigars, booze, candy and swag he sent along. With all of the cigars he has been sending out, I am starting to wonder if he has any cigars left in his humidor(s).

Here is the compiled list of cigars (49) in total.

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.

The AF Work of Art are one of my favorite cigars. I just got them recently so I would suggest resting them for a bit.

The Euros in the shot glass is a deception/camouflage technique if you are sending a liquid. Usually the liquid will make a distinctive "glug" sound but the clinking of the coins in the shot glass covers it up. There are other techniques...AKDave put loose pistachios in a plastic cup and then plastic wrapped it.

Otherwise, your sleuthing was effective. I was hoping that the location I sent it from would have thrown you from a loop. I was up in Ohio over the weekend and sent it from there.

With the massiveness of some of the other SS hits, I feel like mine is a little lacking.

You're just feeling that way because you got the roof blown right off you're house.

I think you're right. I haven't seen Dave's stash, but he has to be running very low by now. Just saying' :-"
