Well... I'm a bit speechless and a lot blown away.
I got the text saying I had a couple packages.
Well I got home and had a big one and a small one. So I assumed the small one was my secret santa and there would be some cigars in there, and all would be well with my thursday. This is because I noticed the return addy on the big one was from Cigars international, and was quite heavy. So I thought my wife had surprised me and bought me a box I had had circled in the catalog or something. WRONG.
The small package was a wish fulfillment from another site (very generous in its own right), however, I almost burst at the seems with excitement as I opened the big package and found out it was from my santa.
I felt like a kid in a candy store opening this thing (I will post pictures later when my wife gets home with the camera)
here is what awaited me:
5 pack of Torano Exodus 1959 toros
5 pack of Oliva Serie G Toro
5 pack of Gurkha Master Select Perfecto #3 (amazing looking litte perfectos, I cannot wait to burn one up!)
A BOX (yes a full one) of 5 Vegas Gold Torpedos (!)
and as if the cigars weren't enough, there was the 2 finger 5 Vegas Ash Tray (now I have an ash tray!!)
and a 5 Capacity Herf-a-Dor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
OMG I cannot say thank you enough, I am astonished at this generousity. I admit I was slightly worried about getting cigars that would not exactly thrill me, but I love the ones of these I've had, and have heard nothing but rave reviews about the others. Thank you so much!
I'm gonna go drool now!
Merry Christmas!
Edit: I believe I know who sent it based on location, and thank you very much sir! But I will allow you to properly reveal yourself

Very Nice! Looks like someone did a lot of business through Cbid, good idea, I forgot about them. The 5 Vegas Gold is one of my favorite NC mild morning smokes. I can't say it was from me though. I'm wondering why mine hasn't arrived...USPS must be slow.

Very very cool! I thought it was you, but then it didn't have your name on the package... Verrrrry sneaky! Ya done good - and the presentation was perfect! I liked the gift-wrapped box and the card - they made it special. I've tried some of these, and others are on my list. I truly look forward to sampling these once they have a short rest in the humi... Thank you, my Friend!
So many cigars, so little time...

I know that someone is getting my package today - it shows as having been delivered this morning... 8-) And RX2010 - that's a sweet package! I just ordered a box of the 5 Vegas gold myself - they're great with coffee in the morning.

HO HO HO...MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I'm glad you liked the package. When I saw the types of cigars you liked (from your Santa post and one in the Wish list), I realized I didn't have anything that was shaped and not that strong. I had either regular shaped and mild or torpedo and strong, so I did a little eShopping. I'm relieved that you liked the package my little CI Elves shipped to you! Enjoy the smokes!

3 days seems a little long for any extra paid servide to anywhere in the U.S. What service did you use to your recipient?

USPS, I shipped Monday around 3 PM. If my recipient doesn't get it by tomorrow, I think something is wrong. I really hope it didn't get lost or confiscated because I did send CC's. I'm sure everything is just fine. Probably just slow.
