Alright, puts and takes.... takes: La Fuerza TOS DIC 15 Upmann PC PET DIC 16 Upmann No 2 LUB OCT 14 RASCC AME JUL 13 puts: Boli CE (50 cab) POS

Santiago and I having a smoke and handing off the box. I’m the handsome one in case you’re wondering. Will have puts/takes later today. 

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 m

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.....

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.

It’s does get complicated when the Canadian receiving the box gets a massive bill from Customs. Or the box gets seized. Marking the box as a gift does not exclude it from taxes/duty.

That’s cool if your willing to accept that risk. 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.

@Fuzz Could you possibly pin this thread while the box pass is active?   

Not a bad idea though it would probably stay topped regardless as the action continues...

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.

Diplomaticos ER Excelencia (SGA OCT 15) 

Ramon Allones EL Allones Extra (SUB JUN 11)

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

 

Ah, no mate. No pegging here. :lookaround::surprised:

Will "pin" a thread, though.
