    So here is what I got today. Santa you touched my heart. The crappy pics don't do the generosity justice. It took everything I had not to spark up any one of those sticks. I just used the lighter to spark up a viaje collectors edition and it worked flawlessly! Pretty freakin excited :) THANK YOU SANTA -

    Santa came today and all I can say is... Well, I honestly don't know what to say! I'm absolutely speechless! Everything I needed/asked for and then some! I'll post pictures as soon as I recover from the shell shock! Whoever you are, my deepest and most heartfelt gratitude goes out to you my friend!

    My Secret Santa really blew me away this year! I want to publicly say THANK YOU Santa! I'm pretty simple, not real picky. I like the exchange and Christmas is a great way to give to another person on the forum. My Secret Santa really did his homework. The Anejo, in particular the 46, is one of my top 3 favorite cigars of all time and the OSOK, particularly the Trucha vitola, is one of the best (if not my favorite) new cigars of 2012. So not only did I receive one of my all time favorite smokes, I got 5 of them! And not just 1 OSOK, but a whole box of NYC exclusives! I would have never even seen that smoke if it wasn't for this forum and this gift exchange. I am also really really excited to try the liquor filled candy as I've never had any and plan to put my new travel humi to use this weekend. Thanks a million Secret Santa!

    Got destroyed by my secret santa while I was out on my annual pre-Christmas Atlantic City trip! Sorry these took a couple days to post, the package landed on saturday!

    First up was exactly what I asked for, a Herfador so when I go on trips to places like AC or meet up with nice folks from on here, I don't have to worry abut travel damage...
    Photobucket

    Next up is a great selection of sticks. My SS did his homework for sure. Stuck to mostly smaller vitolas with the occasional big gun thrown in for the rare occasion I have time for such a thing. And an Anjeo, which is killer. These are all on my must-try list, except two I've never heard of (CLE and Reinado).
    Photobucket

    Next up something I asked for as an "or"...just an option, in case Herfador was not doable...NOT an and...apparently Santa doesn't know the difference...so now I have this fine azz ash tray...
    Photobucket

    Finally, Santa really did his homework with this one. First off, he knew I like beer. Second, he knew that beer was never going to be a Coors Light (despite all the jokes my last name can create), he knew it would be a Stone. Also he knew I'm an Arrogant *** and proud of it.
    Photobucket

    Finally, a pic of the entire damage...

    Whoever you are, "anonymous" Floridian/Santa, I can't thank you enough!!!!!!!!!!!
