I woke up this morning, ran a quick errand, and was just heading out to the car to go to work when suddenly I notice a familiar red, white and blue vehicle pulling up next to my house! Could it be that my SS has arrived? Yes! and it was filled with some pretty awesome baccy goodies from the North (and I mean North! Santa's relocated to Anchorage!), some I'm familiar with, and others which I will be very excited to try:
One 2 oz. tin of the following:
Balkan Sasieni (the first English/Balkan I'd ever tried... haven't smoked it for a while, so I'm very curious to revisit it!)
GLP Robusto (for quite a while I've been wanting to try out cigar leaf blends, cuz I likes a good see-gar on occasion)
GLP Odyssey (one of my favorites!!! this stuff is the definition of a dark beauty!!)
Dunhill's MM 965 (I have only been able to get my hands on the bulk version, so I'm extremely extremely happy about this!!!)
Bulk samples of:
Old Joe Krantz (I don't know what it is I love about this tobacco, but I'm addicted to it)
Esoterica's Stonehaven (have been wanting to try for a good while!!)
Bosun Cut Plug (just read a bit abt it on tob. reviews... sounds like it'll be a very different experience!)
Plus a nice sized bulk bag of GLP Westminster, which I love. I was extremely happy with these awesome goodies, but ol Sandypaws is known for his generosity, so he didn't stop there. He also included some of Mrs. Claus's famous Crabapple jelly (I've never had the pleasure of trying crabapple jelly, so I'm quite curious to see what it's like), a delicious Toblerone bar (the wonderful baccies it traveled with have given it a bit of a smoky flavour, which I think tastes awesome), RCH's "Pipesmoking, A 21stCentury Guide" (I feel like I've said "this is awesome" or "I'm very excited" about everything I received, but I mean it! Santa knows me better than I know myself! I've wanted to read this since I first became interested in pipes several yrs. ago), cork knocker, individual pipe stand, and a nice adjustable reamer (of all the things I've been needing to get, this was one of the most important. Thanks Santa!).
Thank you, thank you, thank you SS (whoever you may be!)!!!! I am extremely happy about each and every thing you sent me.. many thanks for your enjoyable letter also!!!
