    I should really get involved in this next year.. My problem is I am the absolute worst last minute procrastinator when it comes to shopping so then I always overcompensate. I would have to start shopping in July to get this done.

    That's freakin awesome!!

    Half the fun is seeing the joy others have when opening their gifts!!!

    Post pics guys!! It means a lot to the givers as well as the getters!!!
    As a non participant I agree with all this. Still waiting to see what Vulchor got that was Chicago Bears related....

    That's exactly what I did. I got back into cigars in July and when I made orders I know some was going towards this. All of the cigars except for a few I had and just needed to get the specific things for that person. It definitely helped but I still kept finding more and more stuff anyway haha.

    Would definitely recommend doing this to anyone though. I was in awe seeing this unfold back in 2011 and it was so fun being a part of it this year. As I've said before too, the anticipation of what you're going to get is great but it's so much more fun finding and picking stuff out for the other person.

    I haven't had a chance to comment on all of the SS gifts that everyone has received, so I will just make one post to comment so far. GREAT F'N JOB TO ALL YOU SS OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!! These gifts have been amazing this year. Some truly epic smackdowns. I love being a part of this every year and I am already looking forward to next year. Thanks again to my SS for the great gifts. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

    Santa blew me up on Christmas Eve. I am a believer again. Santa read my mind and knows everything I like. Will get some pics up later tonight.

    Good for yo ass Sherm!

    Speechless. This is crazy is all I have to say.
    First off an AB Burner. Throw all other lighters away
    image
    Next some chocolate with Bacon and some decals of my avatar. Will look sweet on the desktop.
    image
    Some killer beer to celebrate the holiday's.
    image
    And one that is my new house brew. How did I not know this existed?>br> image

    Some Firestone Walker. AKA Unicorn
    image

    Some Cask Strength Makers Mark. Read about this and deleted the post since I did not think I could see it until this spring
    image

    A killer lineup of smokes. Every one of these goes directly into the high end storage. Obviously Santa has been watching and knows I am a Tat Ho as well as Fuente, MF, La Palina, Zino, etc.
    image

    And to top it off, a $75 gift card to the homebrew shop. Honestly, I have $75 worth of goods sitting in my shopping cart for this site that I was not expecting to be able to buy until after Christmas.
    image

    Amazed at the generosity and work Santa put into this gift. This site just keeps amazing me every day.
    Merry Christmas everyone. I will find out who my SS was some day so I can thank you. Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season with friends and family

    Hey Sherman just a suggestion, cover part of that beer store gift card number as its live and there are trolls who may try and use the number. We bought my boss one of these last year and he tweeted it it and the place called us and said they froze the card since they had numerous attempts on it being used. Awesome hit.

    Good Point. Never thought of that. I deleted it from my original post, but you will need to edit your quote and remove it. Thank You

    Ok fellas, just got through putting the young'n to bed, put together toys, put her "big girl" bed together, hung a fathead, AND NOW I am finally getting some time to post these pictures. First off, let me start by apologizing to my SS for taking so long to post. He really did beat the p!ss outta me on this one. Ok let the show begin!

    Dude, these hats are killer and the fact that one is autographed by Matt Booth himself.....just wow! The "artwork" on the inside is funny as all get out!
    image

    Next, sorry for the terrible pics, this is an AWESOME Room 101 shirt that I can't wait to wear!
    image
    image

    My favorite beers are wheat beers and here's one I've never even heard of! Cant wait for the right occasion to pop this top!
    image

    Next are some sweet stickers and magnets! These things will look awesome on the man cave fridge when its all said and done.
    image

    The next two items are so cool bc my wish to my SS was for stuff for the man cave and he did not disappoint! First, a sweet license plate that will definitely go up on the wall.
    image

    And lastly, this fantastic BOTL took the time to make me a clock from one of my favorite sticks. This picture can not do this thing justice!!!
    image

    To Be Continued......

    Now for the cigars!!!!

    My SS not only sent me an amazing selection of EXTREMELY well aged sticks, he cataloged them and listed name, origin of wrapper, origin of binder, origin of filler, and the blender that blended each cigar! So freakin' amazing and much needed because I have never seen some of these!!! Without further ado, here are the sticks!

    image

    And lastly, a horrible pic of the whole mess of goodness that my SS laid upon me!
    image

    So, it goes without saying that this guy is outta his mind, but dang man, this was WAY above and beyond! Secret Santa, I can not thank you enough and I am extremely humbled and grateful for the gifts that you sent! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

    I should have just edited the pic on photobucket first and it probably would have changed both. Thanks for the heads up and editing your post. I was trying to get the pics up in between parties/dinners/toy assembly. I used the gift card today so hopefully I can brew two batches next week while I am off. Merry Christmas.
