This is far bigger than last time. I can't wait!

Jackal asked me to take over the organizing of this tonight, so he will be able to participate in the exchange.

Anyone else interested in participating, please let me know soon.

Sounds like fun, but I'll be out of the country with unreliable mail service.

That list looks like a real rogues gallery.  :-)

I had a couple of people ask if there are some guidelines as to price, etc.  

Since we have a few weeks before things need to ship, I will put it out for discussion.

My belief is just to use the golden rule.  Send 5 cigars that you would be thrilled to get.  However, do a little research on your target via his reviews, virtual humidor, postings to today's smokes to see what he likes.

When you click on the persons profile and then their humidor the wishlist link will
show up if it is set to members or public.

Naw! Just kidding around here.  I would never actually do something like that.  It would be funny if we had a White Elephant thing instead of a Secret Santa operation.

No, I know. It would be fun to have both. A nice gift with the Secret Santa, and a Funny/odd gift with the White Elephant.

Here is what we could do, send 5 of your best and a couple of your worst.  Then if I get Bob, I could do my best to send him something nice along with a couple Thompson $1 cigars.  Secret Santa and White Elephant all in one.  Save on shipping.  Besides, who wants to spend more on shipping than they spent on the cigars for a White Elephant?
I'm right 98% of the time.  Who cares about the other 3%?

$1 is pretty pricey for a Thompson.

Since Rebecca was nice enough to moderate this, I get to participate this year  :dancing:

I like the idea of the white elephant.  So, along with the5 good sticks, I will throw in a lump of coal, suitable to give to that brother in law or other cigar mooch who likes to bum a cigar off of you.

Me too.  Great idea to include a lump of coal with the Secret Santa. Makes it even more fun to hear the recipients reactions!

But do 6 cigars fit comfortably into a USPS small Priority box?  :confused: If not, maybe we adjust this to be 4 good ones for Secret Santa (one of which is really special for New Years) and one 'lump of coal'.  Just a thought, but it should be a group decision before packages are put together so that everyone is participating by the same rules.

Any thoughts?
