Ok, Apologies again for the delay. Listed below is the complete and unabridged listing of the holiday destruction laid upon me by AKDave. Maybe overkill is an inherent part of Eskimo culture. Maybe he just doesn't know when to say when. Who knows? I am quite pleased to be the recipient of this cornucopia of goodness though and looking forward to making use of all of it over the next 3-5 years. Thank you Dave for your boundless generosity. I am, in a word, flabbergasted, maybe gobsmacked. Take your pick. Also, great work on the holiday poem. I assume to be an original work and I will be posting it once I get over my fear of carpal tunnel
Disclaimer: Generally I make a point to list details such as specific vitolas and never hads. Ain't nobody got time for that chit here. Suffice to say sizes run the gamut and I haven't tried a whole bunch of them.
The swag:
- A one of a kind custom ashtray with SOB and a sun over a beach engraved in it
- What I believe to be an ice pick (too big to poke cigars with, and Dave correct me if needed) with my name and cbid handle engraved in it
- tequila serving set, including tray, shot glasses, both lime and chili salts, and small bowls assuming to serve the salts
- paintball figurine Xmas ornament
- box of matches
- V-cutter
- Metal tube travel humidor with built in hygrometer
- T-shirt with EA/DG across it. (Them's the natural bass string notes for those not rhythm section inclined)
The consumables:
- bottle of Republic Anejo Tequila
- unlabeled mason jar of some more tequila Dave has been barrel aging for a couple of months (thanks for pointing this out in your note. I find unlabeled yellowish liquids fairly ominous)
- Henry Clay mints
- Wood's Rum Barrel Aged Maple Syrup (almost tried a shot of this on general principal, but holding out for pancakes)
- A$$ Kickin Habanero popcorn
- A$$ Kickin Carolina Reaper popcorn
- Spontaneous Combustion Ghost Pepper popcorn (ah ghost pepper. My old nemesis. We meet again)
- Burn Sauces Extreme Burn 3million SU High Grade Pepper Extract
- Satan's Blood 800,000 SU Chile Extract
- Nitroglycerin pills for post extract revival (ok, these weren't in there, but going to look into getting some)

Dave, once again thank you, gracias, mahalo, merci, grazi, domo arigato...... I hope you get the point.
