    I have no clue how to thank my Secret Santa. Honestly I am completely and utterly speechless. i have sat trying to think about how to say how thankful i am for this package since i got home at 4:30 local time. There are cigars in here that were on my unicorn list and i purposefully didn't give a unicorn list because i didn't want any pressure on the "newbie" to deliver an epic bomb. I can't even fathom what i did to deserve this type of a hit from Santa......I was a really good boy all year, but not this good.

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart. After the past 2 weeks from hell i have been through, this put a huge smile on my face and showed me generous a true BOTL should be.

    as an aside.....I got in this because I wanted to be part of all the fun and try to keep up with guys who I thought were more on my level of cigar smoking, but this Santa just put me to shame and belongs in the Big Leagues. Whoever this may be, I feel sorry for the "vet" who you get next year because he will be as humbled as I am right now with their secret santa offering.

    (I honestly thought my package was going to be a pretty good package.......now, i am so worried that mine will be piddly seeing these first 2 hits)

    Without further ado:

    Lol you guys are getting way too worried about if X is good enough... Lost sight of what this is about. We all come from different stations in life, all at different places in life and we all know and recognize this. It's not about who has the biggest swinging c ock but rather if you put in the same amount of thought and care to the package you sent out as much as the one you received. Monetary value means nothing really, the value of your time and your thoughts to do something special for everyone DOES mean something ;) Stop getting hung up on the money or amount, your TIME and THOUGHTS are what matter to the people who's opinions your should really care about, anyone that does b!tch clearly doesn't understand what brotherhood means so long as you gave your best regardless of what your best is.

    This is so great, and I am so thankful you be a member of a group with such selfless people. Brings a huge smile to my face. I wish I would have been able to get in this, but I am so glad someone else was able to take my spot. I hope that person gets the words taken from them like Brian. He was the first guy I vherf with, and it am always happy to see him taken care of. Merry Christmas everyone!

    Mine is still stuck nearby :(:(:(

    I don't get it. My part of the BDR group hit got there in like 3 days and this left 2 days before that. I'm sorry to whomever my target was, you will get your present somehow sometime!

    And also, I hope you all didn't take my "i quit" post very seriously. It's just my way of reacting shocked at the amazing generosity of this community and wishing I could play a larger part. Someday.
