No hits but Corey on the return address

Thanks Corey

Hmmm... So if Corey recently reminded people to put a fake return address on the box, that would seem to indicate that this is a fake Corey. However, Corey is the type that might put a real addy on the box, and then remind people not to just to muddy the waters.

Interesting. Could go either way. I'm voting not Corey but could be mistaken.

Haha I love it

Looks like Drginc and Lance have been fooled by Santa

Just returned from a quick trip to Dallas to visit our younger son and my sister…to find a massive box on the porch (well…in our big package container).

I was giddy with excitement and barely got the car unpacked before tearing into the package. Holy hell…my Secret Santa knocked it way out of the park. I will just hit the highlights tonight and will get a comprehensive list and a pic up on Imgur tomorrow after work.

Tons of cigars, cool OU and Bengals signs, travel humidor, hat, sauce, candy, very nice tequila, Drew Estate Lifestyle gift set, and the two hints (one intentional and the other might not have been intentional but a good coincidence).

The first hint was a Navy 107 Combat Mission Team Challenge Coin. The next was an Undercrown cigar rest/stand…if correct, my SS sent me a personalized cigar rest/stand in our first trade back in 2019.

My guess is that my SS is Lance (he also had his name on the return address and signed his note Lance).

Thank you very much for a humbling Secret Santa walloping.

Boxes have arrived and damages tallied. Our jealous little Ted Williams fan AKA Secret Santa was easily figured out. Who else would be jealous of the NY Mets

Thank you

You are posting on a cigar auction site forum. This community initially formed around the idea of getting smokes for the absolute lowest possible price. Basically, the very definition of lowballers.

Not to mention, you are an unknown quantity. No trading history... no idea of your storage practices... whether you're looking for a fair price based on what you paid for them, or based on the current Kooban market that's been jacked up for a couple years now. It's not for me, but I wish you the best of luck

Maybe I should have thought harder on being a part of the Secret Santa this year..... Here I am in my new house in Florida for only a few months and now I have to rebuild the whole front deck and part of the house. After getting home well after 10PM last night and knowing I had to be up so very early this morning digging out the Secret Santa box from the rubble was a chore. A quick peek in the box revealed a box of cigars, a bag of cigars, a BBQ tools set and some delicious looking treats. Hopefully I'll be home early enough tonight to do a proper reporting with photo of the total damage done. Thank you Secret Santa! Looks like an outstanding hit!

Once you get that done, you can help me pour a new foundation. It's cold out here

Back to Secret Santa……

Secret Santa rewards me for being a good boy this year. ( or at least an overworked boy)

Big swag:
Custom University of Oklahoma laser cut sign (shape of Oklahoma)
Custom laser cut “B” sign for the Bengals…these are perfect, now I have to decide if I want them outside in my outdoor smoke area or prominently displayed at my work.
Bottle of Siete Leguas Tequila Blanco….love me some good tequila
Drew Estate Freestyle Live gift set : 3 cigar holder, cutter, cc card wallet…the cutter is pretty cool because it is also a cigar rest too.
Undercrown “All dekk’d out” 10ct Travel Humidor - beautiful, blue…the color and emblem on top are awesome.
Bud Light cap
Undercrown cigar rest
Undercrown bottle opener….both are part of the “All Dekk’d Out” line.
Traeger Apricot BBQ sauce
Honey Hog Hot BBQ rub
Neon gas lighter refill

If you counted, that was 35 great cigars!!!!

And finally a 107 Combat Mission Team (Navy) challenge coin.

Again, I believe it is Lance as my Secret Santa. What a well thought and intentioned gifting. I always think I do fairly well on my SS offerings but then I get humbled by others on how great they do. Mixed feelings of being giddy about what I received and a little disappointed that I didn’t hit my target hard enough. All bummer thoughts aside….well done Secret Santa (Lance?). Well done.

Awesome job Santa

Nice work, Santa

Here are the pics.

There are actual 37 cigars….one I know I missed in the write-up is another Arturo Fuente.

Very nice santa

Some of these bombings are just off the rails

So Corey,

Have all the Santa's been guessed correctly? Is there a coming clean part to the whole thing?

Thank your girlfriend for us, that was nice of her to help out.
