Santiago Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 MIght as well start it off now. I don't think usps is any better or worse at different times of the year
Wertman Posted December 7, 2017 Author Posted December 7, 2017 That's the plan box will be going out today. Working on packing it up in about an hour then off we go.... 1
Wertman Posted December 7, 2017 Author Posted December 7, 2017 And it starts. I have sent off the package to @SignalJoe he should have it by 3pm tomorrow. I did include a extra Cohiba Corona Esp for Gene since he is the first to get the box. Now for the bad news..... I was so excited to mail everything and pack it all up I took not one darn picture can you believe that. All of the cigars are packed away with some nice packing peanuts and nice and secure. All right guys here goes nothing. To the next 4-5 months.....
BellevilleMXZ Posted December 9, 2017 Posted December 9, 2017 I have bought tons and never had any seized. And I'm well aware it doesn't make it exempt when marked as gift. If done right, and only shipped across the border once( then to all Canadian guys and gals) , and then back to the US, u only risk getting hit twice. I would be more than happy to assume the risk as the first Canadian, and assume the duty if it gets pinched.

Marking the box as a gift does not exclude it from taxes/duty.

I’m just a bystander in this all anyways and was just letting the OP know about the real risks with shipping up here. I have had parcels disappear before. I know that I am not willing to give CBSA the chance to bend me over any more than they have in the past. I’ve got better things to do with a few hundred dollars. 1

Popular Post SignalJoe Posted December 9, 2017 Popular Post Posted December 9, 2017 Alright gentlemen I have received the box at the house where my humidor is currently located. I am in the middle of relocating and it is a flaming pain in the ass. No chore on God's green earth is more odious than moving. Ok now that I have vented lets get to what you came here for...the cigars. Ok let me back up a second, because I am moving and don't want to hold up the box pass I am going to go a little rouge and sidestep the rules. So that I can get this in the mail on Monday I am going to add more value than I take so I don't have to wait for approval on puts and takes. I added some marcas that weren't represented along with a few Regionals and a few Limitadas. Most have a few years on them. I think you will all agree that I am giving more than I am getting. I hope everyone is okay with this. My takes: Upman Half corona Monte 2 Bolivar Libertador Trini Reyes Montecristo Petite Edmundo As well as the Cohiba Corona Especial that @Wertman kindly added for me.

SignalJoe Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 @Fuzz Could you possibly pin this thread while the box pass is active?

Having it pegged is a great way to keep it visible - even with lots of traffic it can get buried, thats why I had mine pegged as well. Thanks @Fuzz

Wertman Posted December 12, 2017 Author Posted December 12, 2017 I had no idea about the pinning or pegging. Good call signaljoe. Shaffer22 is up next should be getting the box today or tomorrow. 1
