It's that time of year, time to get the Secret Santa rolling again. Here's how it works:

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE SIGNING UP  THANX

I have reached out to Rebecca and due to her schedule being very busy I am going to give running this a whirl this year.
Let me know in this thread if you are interested in participating. You must have achieved Veteran status or higher to be part of this. The cutoff date to get your name in will be November 26th (the Sunday after Thanksgiving), no exceptions will be made to this. You will then be assigned, at random, another person from the list to play Santa for. You will send your recipient a total of six cigars. This will include 5 good quality sticks, which you think your recipient will enjoy. One of these five sticks should be designated as a New Years Eve smoke, typically people have done this with the highest end or most rare stick they send, though this is not required. The sixth cigar you send is the "Lump of Coal" cigar, and should be a smoke that would be worthy of giving to a cigar mooch or annoying relative.

The cigars MUST be sent in time to arrive before Christmas. Please take into account that mail is typically a little slower at that time of year. Also, please remember this is a SECRET Santa, you aren't supposed to let your recipient know you are their Santa. (Until the gift arrives, anyway.)

To get a better idea what to send to your recipient, take a look at any posted wishlists, as well as past reviews.

Well, since Santa put all the misfits to an island by themselves, and CG certainly resembles such a place, I'm in!

Hey,  you should check out The Herfcast!  It's not about anything in particular,  just talking about whatever comes to mind while smoking cigars and having a drink or 4.

You learn more by listening then you do from talking.

The last forum I was on, the Secret Santa got WAY out of hand. Looking at last year's thread, this is much more my speed.

I'm in!
