Yes, thanks Carlos for organizing this.  I don't care what everyone else says about you, all those horrible, disgusting, derogatory things. :lol:   And even though they may be true,  I think you're OK! :cheers:

I'm so glad to hear that the Mrs. is doing well. If she's going through what I think she is, tell her to do half of what she feels up to doing. I have watched my mother and several others think they were feeling better and set themselves back a week or two by overdoing.

Just bidding you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  We did well.  A couple more days, then it will be time for me to hibernate until we reconvene next November.  

Carlos, excellent job as always.   Thank you.

Had to go offline for an extra week, as this time of year is always fraught with deadlines and other such distractions. Home now and settling in for the holidays, so first order of business was checking in with the BoB--seems like everybody's been hit, so nicely done all around, Santas! And hope Mrs. Carlos and Mrs. Casino are doing well, and Ally's hip doesn't give him too much guff before he goes in hospital...We've got a pretty great community here, and it warms the cockles of my heart to see the camaraderie and friendship on display.

Ah, and as promised, here is the long belated, obligatory picture of the bounty bestowed on me by my secret santa:

2 ounces each of the following bulk tobaccos:
-SG Squadron Leader
-McClelland's Nightcap Match
-McClelland's EMP Match
-McClelland's Full Dark English
-F&K Sterling Balkan

And that be that, I think--I did just receive a book in the mail that didn't bear a return address, but I suspect that was an X-mas gift from a non-BoB friend. If I'm wrong and Santa sent me something else, set me straight and I'll be sure to amend this post. Otherwise, this be another Christmas come and not quite yet gone...happy holidays, everyone, and to all a good night!

Way to go Santa! I can still remember Secret Santa 2003 at the Knox Board. I got a tin of Squadron Leader in the mix. That tin really started me on my way into the Latakia blends. Great stuff!  :santa:

Secret Santa for me was awesome. Lots and lots of tobacco. Told my parents to forward me the package. Thanks Santa.  :santa: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Glad to hear that Santa was generous to you. Drop a pic on us if you get a chance. Thanks for the update.
