HO HO HO! It's time for Cigar Bum's Secret Pipe Santa!

Signups will run through Monday November 30th, three weeks from today, and packages are then expected to be delivered by no later than Wednesday December 16th (International friends will need to account for the added time in both giving & receiving, please).

Participation is simple: each Secret Santa will send a minimum of two tins or four bulk ounces of tobacco to their Christmas Pipe Smoker. Anything beyond that is up to Santa. When adding your name to the list please specify what type of blends you would prefer to receive and whether or not you are alcohol (must be over 21), cigar, snuff, or sweets friendly just in case Santa wants to include something extra! Also, please specify if you are willing to ship Internationally.

Since I am participating and want to be surprised too, I'm enlisting the help of good little elf @WNYTONY . Once you've added your name and Christmas list to thread, please PM your address to Tony using the title "Secret Pipe Santa". He will be charged with taking December 1st off from making toys to randomly pick Secret Santas and assign them to a Pipe Smoker.

As with all Secret Santas, you must have been around long enough to be known here and/or have one positive and no negative trader feedback.

On December 1st a new thread will be created for tracking numbers to be posted, holiday banter, photos of gifts, etc.

Above all, remember that this is supposed to be fun and its purpose is to GIVE.

And, of course, Happy Holidays!
