Official Gift Exchange 2011

we are going to do this about the same as it has been in the past....

everyone who wants to participate in the secret santa style pass for the holiday season should sign up here!

send me your name and address (via PM) and i will redistribute names to everyone. the name you get is the name that you will send a cigar related package to. Included in your PM to sign up should be the following:
your name and address
a short list of things (cigar related accessories) you want. ( lighters, ashtrays, etc...)
a short list of things you DONT want. (i dont need another cutter i already have 3)
your preference on cigars
the price guide will be in the spirit of $40.00. This $40 is for the "main" gift not cigars. any cigars are on top of that. the guide on cigars will be the same as a PIF (3-5) minus the rule that you dont send out super premium. you are welcome to send out any cigar you chose. (no crap though, of course).
of course you can send out more cigars if you want. (most send out WAY more)
if you cannot stick to the guide and spend in the spirit of $40 and be able pass out a few sticks, dont sign up.
RULES you must have 25+ posts AND be in good standing as a trader.
you must sign up before Thanksgiving.
the names will be distributed either Thanksgiving night or early the next day.
Gifts can start going out on December 7th. and must be sent by Dec 19th
dont buy things that people dont want (duh)
Put a return address on the box but not your real name or forum name.
return Addy should be "Ccom Holiday Pass" or "Ccom Secret Santa" or something of the like.
after you have sent me the PM, post here that you signed up so we can all see who is participating

i hope that takes care of it all. If there are any issues or questions please post them here. If the rules change I will go back and edit this post so that all of the rules are in the first post and easy to find.

the price guide has gone up from previous years because it was very limiting in the past. if this is an issue, please feel free to discuss that here. we can work things out.

lets have some fun!

I have a question and don't see a mention of it in this thread. Are we suppose to wait till Christmas to open our packages once they arrive? I know I would like my recipient to be able to open his when he gets it. Any thoughts on this
What, and let those opus xs you sent me dry out? LOL
LMAO....but really what is the norm for this type of exchange

traditionally in the past we have opened the packages when they arrive to make sure the sticks are all good ..... Packages can fly on the 6th or 7 th I think and that will assure everyone gets their exchange before Xmas .... We all know how slow USPS is this time of year.

yup. upen as you get em.

if you are sending to somebody in a different country mail early. international shipping is slow. everyone else can mail out on the 7th.

....until your secret santa gets you a metric ass-ton of cigars to replace the ones you sent out.

My package from The Beard is on its way!! Once it arrives it will be time to empty the cooler. I might even have to hit up my personal aging humi. It's Christmas and all so why not!!!!

I understand that the Name on the return address should read ccom secret santa or whatever but there should actually be a full address as well correct, number and street names city, etc.?

I think that would be wise. Hate to get the sending address wrong or have UPS try and return it to sender. You just lost a package of $150 worth of cigars etc and no way to track it back to you. DC numbers only help so much when USPS really fubars up a package.

Just remember to insure them properly.

THX...........shipment flies first thing in the morning........
