I carry 2 bundles in my carry on and they aren't protected by anything. In my checked suitcase, I will just wrap a bundle in a t-shirt or shirt and that's it. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

As a side note, I want to thank Chris for putting this together. It's not easy and a ton of work, so thanks bro.
I'd also like to thank @PigFish. Thank you Ray for putting in such a lovely cigars for us. I look forward to burning it.
Below is a photo showing my takes and puts. Takes are on the left and puts are on the right. Oh! I included a bonus cigar. It's a Partagas Perfectos from the late 60s to mid 70s. All 6 cigars I put in are vacuum sealed together and in the rare/htf container.
One more side note. I put in gifts for @Lotusguy and @ChanceSchmerr . They are vacuum sealed and have their forum handles written on a piece of paper inside the vac sealed bag. I had to put them in the regular box pass containers so please keep an eye out for those and set those to the side for those guys.
Honestly, I don't see the 2010 BHK 52 for the Sublime. Taking aside FB pricing, 2010 BHK 52 doesn't have the rarity of a Monte Sublime. I feel it should be some HTF cigar like Mag 50 LE or HDM Piramides LE or something like that. You see 2010 BHK being posted a ton but hardly ever see Monte Sublimes. Just my opinion though.
It happens bro. I'm on a bad terms with Classic Cohiba line now. Been that way for 2 years. CoLa, Espy, CCE, CoRo...all junk. Tried early 90s, mid 90s, early 2000s, late 2000s and just nothing from them.
Chris,
Damn, I'm sorry bro. As cliche as it sounds, I've usually found that everything happens for a reason. It doesn't ever seem like it when you're in the middle of it, but everything works itself out in the end.
The great news is now you can focus on your upcoming trip to Seattle and maybe you'll be able to smoke more great cigars and spend more time with your wife and friends.
Something better is just around the corner for you Chris.
