handypantz:

this maybe a dumb question....but any suggestions on proper packing and sending of so called PIF package?

I send out all my PIFs with USPS prioity mail. I get the boxes online for FREE from the USPS website.  Inside the box is a zip-loc bag with the cigars inside. the zip-lock has had most of the air sucked out. Since cigars are hygroscopic a water pillow is not needed. (but if shipping may take a long time (like around x-mas) one would help) Usually it takes 2 - 3 days For the people at the USPS to get it there.  Prices start at $4.60 (as of 3-12-08).  If the cigars are worth a bit more or if there are a bunch of em they will insure it for cheap.

Yo Railed, I'll be ya Cigar.com mooch, why not, ya sent me a killer package for winning that contest last week, let's see what ya got for PIFs, lol.
