Well we are still a few months out but I wanted to get an early jump on things so people would be able to get prepared for the actual Christmas bombs.

Last year, ksig2033 and engletl ran the show. I participated both in 2006 & 2007 so I figured since no one has started the Secret Santa up yet, I'd go ahead get the ball rolling.

First 10 people to send me their snailer are in. We can always expand if there is sufficient interest. If you dont post frequently on these boards or dont trade often, you'll need to have a BOTL vouch for you. Put "CBID Secret Santa" in the subject line of the e-mail so that my spam filter does not catch it. Let me know what kinds of smokes you like - naturals, maduros, flavored/no flavored, Acids/no Acids, etc. I'll send that info out to your Secet Santa.

We'll start a separate thread to discuss the results of the trade.

- Packages/bombs can be launched starting Dec 1. When you ship your package, you can e-mail me any conf # and I'll let your person know that the package is on the way.

Rules:

1)Must send present by your country cut off day so it will arrive before December 25th 2008.

2)Must send your info to me by October 21st 2007

3)Match up will be sent to you by Oct 31st, 2007

4)Limit, none. Whether it be GIFTS or cigars or mix, it's Santa's choice. Give what you can and expect the least. Its Christmas people its all about giving. So if you feel you want to spend 100 on someone, but you only get a 40 in return, that again is your choice.

5)Put in a hint so the recipient can try to guess who his/her Secret Santa is.

6)Have Fun!!!

What you do is send your snailer info / age / likes /dislikes to a community member, he/she then randomly matches people up and sends the matches through pms/emails to the members. you then get who they are and some of their likes, and get them a gift.

Want to play? Post here and send me an e-mail with your info.

Last year, some folks sent multiple hits, some just one big one. It's up to you how you want to deliver the goods.

^ I concur. Most people sent out multiple boxes for this last year, and in most cases, things got a little out of hand.
