    Just an observation, USPS is really doggin it this season!!!
    I agree...I mailed my SS package out on the 16th....Still no update from USPS...I paid for 2 day delivery, tomorrow will be 8...I called customer service on Friday. They looked up the package and assured me that it is in transit. I check the status about every 2 hours. I am concerned and p!ssed.
    I hear ya,, got a few floating out there myself, Sucks with their devil may care attitude. Pretty much at their mercy. Don't want to threadjack but wanted others to be aware that theres some significant delays goin on out there.
    That's for sure!

    Breaking News: Packages full of tobacco and tobacco accessories bring USPS to its knees during this most busy season. Radical cigar smokers are to blame. One anonymous member has been quoted regarding the incident as saying "It'll fvck you up". Who are the members maduro menace? How can we stop these habano hooligans? And are your children and humidors safe from this group of belicoso bandits? Please stay with us as this story develops.

    Santa was here today. He marched down the chimney and detonated a bomb the likes of which I've never seen. I'm humbled beyond belief by this generosity, so much so that I can't even find the words to express what I'm feeling right now. This is...well, sorry this will be so pic heavy, but it'll speak for itself since I can't do it.

    It started off so innocently, with cool festive packaging and a candy peeking out...
    photo SSpackaging_zpsd4fdf0dc.jpg

    The candy:

    Something I can save for James when he gets old enough to hold a crayon...very very thoughtful.
    photo SScoloringbook_zps9ad9c9e9.jpg

    A striking new hat to wear...

    photo SSFFOXhat_zps4c6c3f07.jpg

    Then there were two wrapped packages in the box, one clearly bottle shaped, so I went for that one first. A very very thoughtful gift from someone who clearly did some research before sending...

    photo SSpikesville_zpsa5d57f27.jpg

    So then there is one last wrapped present, in the shape of a book. I unwrap to find it is a book-shaped box, which I opened. And I found inside a very very heartfelt note that showed me that this secret santa didn't just do some research when he found out I was his target, he's truly been watching over the course of years. I was floored by the sentiment. Then the contents...

    A whole bunch of smokes, too many for one pic, some favorites and some I've been wanting to try, all clearly with my tastes (that I don't talk about too much here, really) in mind::
    photo SScigars1_zpse23156dd.jpg

    photo SScigars2_zps5e8e00ae.jpg

    There was something else in the box that caught my eye immediately, but forgive me for the sake of the story I'm saving the best for last. There were two smaller wrapped packages in there that I opened to find incredible looking accessories, a lighter and cutter:
    photo SSlightercutter1_zpsd9cf63ea.jpg

    I've saved the best for last. The impossible for last, really. My jaw literally dropped when the box opened because of this. I don't think I've ever had that happen. Hopefully it will in a couple weeks when my baby's born because my wife was watching me open this and if I don't surpass the reaction, I'm gonna be in the dog house!! lol Anyway, without further ado...
    photo SSBehike_zps21353a0a.jpeg

    I didn't think I'd ever see one of these in my life. I'm staring at 5. :O

    In summary:

    Odd little addendum: in no light I can discern is that hat purple, it's all black. Yet it's clearly purple in both pictures.
