[http://forums.play.net/forums/GemStone%20IV/Paid%20Events:%20Adventures,%20Quests,%20and%20SimuCoins/Ebon%20Gate%20Festival/view/18438 Forum Post] There is a very rare drop that will be an invitation to the Eve of the Reunion event that GM Thandiwe has talked about. There are a finite number of these invites, and when they're all claimed, there will not be anymore. This does take one of your KNOCKs in TOT, but it's considered a special event that can randomly happen when you don't hit a "trick" or a "treat."

*Six new flavors of scented cigar: '''Toasted Coconut Brandy, Mulled Wine, Vanilla and Bourbon Caramel, Maple Rum, Black Cherry Amaretto, and Orchard Apple.'''
*Perfume cigars WILL be wearable in the teeth for 10 minutes at a time. Then it’ll revert to your hand and what have you.
*AND, in addition to my normal custom perfume raffle, there will be a raffle for a custom cigar scent, which will come with an infinite cigar.
*And for the perfume lovers, this year’s scent line up was created with the theme of “It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.”
*Scents include: '''Trepidation, Fatalistic, Desolation, Inevitable, Defiance, and Denial.'''
*Most with ingredients drawn from flower language to subtly tell you you’re up the creek.
*There’s even a horse-flavored matchbox. Everyone’s a winner this year!
*By popular request, my off-the-shelf perfume bottles now have 100 uses rather than the typical 30. [https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/594009960166457344/889951392066842665 Discord]
