Brown Leaf Secret Santa 2012 Signups

‘Tis the time of year again to splash on a warm aftershave, light a fire in the fire place, and share in a little mischievous good will with your fellow Brown Leafers. It’s time again for the Brown Leaf Secret Santa Exchange. If you participated last year you know it’s going to be a good time.


Here’s how it works
1. You need to be a member for 45 days, have over 50 posts, “the same as the B/S/T forum) and be an active member of the Brown Leaf (If you post here you’re an active member).

2. The minimum value of the gifts sent should be $25 up to approx. $50 in value.

3. If you meet the requirements, sign up in this thread, indicate whether you want to join the PIPE or CIGAR exchange, and send a PM with your current mailing address to BL Secret Santa. Please only sign up for one of the exchanges.

4. Names will be drawn from a hat, and once the drawing of names is complete, you'll get a PM telling you who your “BL Secret Santa kid” is, and the log in password for BL Secret Santa. No special requests for who you want as your “kid”.

5. Have fun with it! Log in to BL Secret Santa, find your kid and make a topic dedicated to that person, calling them out, teasing them, leaving hints, etc.

6. Sign-ups end on Wednesday, Nov 21st.

7. Posting a Wish List is highly encouraged; however in keeping with B&B’s trade policy please do not request specific cigars or tobacco blends, but instead gives us a summary of your preferences so your Secret Santa can consider them when making his decision. If you don’t ask for anything, and you’re not happy with your gifts, that‘s your “bad“. I also encourage Secret Santas to do some research on what your "kid" likes to smoke.

9. Take photos of gifts. Find a way to post them so everyone can see your gifts and let your Secret Santa know that they’ve arrived in tact - share your joy, we all get a kick out of seeing what everyone got.

10. Delivery Confirmation #s, whether from you or from a vendor shipping directly to your kid, please get one and post it in the topic you dedicate to your kid.

11. All packages should be shipped prior to Sat. Dec. 15th, so rule #12 can be met. If your kid is from overseas, adjust accordingly.

12. NO ONE SHOULD OPEN THEIR BOXES UNTIL CHRISTMAS EVE OR CHRISTMAS DAY (or whatever day your religion/family celebrates opening gifts).

13. This is voluntary to join, but once it has begun, you have an obligation to your fellow members to make good on your end of the deal in a timely manner. It is up to the Mod team to determine what happens to someone that is a bad trader.
 
Sweet!!! I am in. Love me some holiday cheer. Since my family celebrates Festivus can I open on Dec. 23rd?

Cigar exchange for me.

What a great idea I'm down for some secret Santa fun....

Pipe gift side of things for me please

I'll PM info in a bit
 
I'm in, this sounds like a lot of fun! Sign me up for the pipe category.
Do we post the 'wish list' here, or elsewhere?
 
I thought I was "too new" to the pipe game to sign up last year, and ended up kicking myself for passing. Count me in. :thumbup:
 
oh this is wonderful!!! please count me in - hmmm pipes, cigars, pipes, cigars... hmmmm....

I'll take Pipes for 400, Alex.

hehe this will be fun!
 
Aww man... if we don't get anymore cigar guys in here I'd be curious enough to change over and make sure headcharge or channy is well taken care of
 
Seems there's enough cross-interest...Is there a reason we couldn't do just one big group? The "kid" could state his preference, and Santa could pick appropriately. Pretty sure most if not all of the pipe guys are at least conversant in cigars, although the reverse might not be true. It just seems that the cigar group is pretty small by itself so far.

Just thinkin' out loud, Santa...
