ya, definitely cant ct. very well....dean sent me 12 in a PIF, 12 DYNAMITE sticks....

Now remember that I am a newbie and take pitty on my question, I have not used mail order to get my cigars...how do you guys keep them fresh while sending them around to other members. Sorry for the newbie question.

you use a regular zip-loc baggie and if you expect a delay in shipping or it will take a more than a couple days to reach them then you can include a water-pillow...

Are ?"water pillows"? something regularly available at my smoke shop...never run across them. So, a few days out of the humidor is ok for most types of sticks? as long as they are in a plastic bag?

I would imagine that in the absence of a water pillow, it would be possible to use a damp paper towel as long as the cigars were in cellophane. Correct me if I'm mistaken though. It would serve the same purpose as the water pillow, and even a small piece of a sponge, dampened, would work too.

I wouldn't even worry to much about it. Most shipping will be less than 3 days and will fare just fine if in a sealed zip lock bag. (As long as your humidor isn't like 50% Humidity)

yea, unless you're shipping out of country or used the pony express, 3 days is find in a plastic bag without a water pillow...the water pillows can be found on the cigar.com site as well as many others....they're really inexpensive

I really like the water pillows and use them in my Humi. As I understand it they really moisture when need and absorb it when excess is present. Kind of a lazy mans dream!

just got my PIF from kavenius....great one!! 4 great sticks that i haven't tried yet: Graycliff Blue Gurkha Regent Cusano Corojo 1997 RyJ Vintage Thanks again kavenius!!

Hey, I do what I can do for my fellows of the leaf. Hopefully you like....

Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it; everything fades away: your worries, your problems, your thoughts. They fade into the smoke, and the cigar and you are at peace.

hey guys, just got a 50mL bottle of Jack Daniels and a CAO Vision Catalyst from ChrisHollandBand....AWESOME looking stick!! and the JD was a complete surprise, thanks for this brother!

I also received a  package from ChrisHollandBand today.  Excellent looking cigar.  Nice packaging.  A+ on the contest.  I too was surprised to see a little something extra in there.
Crown Royal was a better choice than Jack Daniels.

Thanks Chris !

Smoke=Fire, you da man! I FINALLY got my sticks from the PIF, nothing against S=F. The post office noted the account the first day, "Arrived at Unit." The next day, "Undeliverable as Addressed." I called the post office, and they verified that it was undeliverable and shipped back... what a pain. However, the third day, guess what I got at my office?!?! THE STICKS! No label saying undeliverable. No comment from the post man. Crazy!

Thanks again, and great sticks...
