the reason why i ask is that my experience, with UPS ground, when ordering other things online is that it takes up to 8 days.

also i agree about the USPS option. not only does it arrive in 2 - 3 days but is usually a cheaper option.

The only problem I've ever experienced with shipping from Cigar.com or CI/C-bid is that if I try to smoke them straight outta the box, the wrapper seems more prone to come unraveled or crack. This is probably due moreso to the temperature change from the shipper to destination, however.

I've never really had a problem with any being too dry. I think most the major retailers actually keep their warehouses a little on the damp side, so when they do ship out they won't dry out or if people order from them just for a special occasion or something and don't really know a whole lot about cigar storage and leave them out for week or something they will still be ok. just give them a rest for a while once they arrive and you will be fine.

Going back to your original question though, I know that Tampa sweethearts put Boveda packs in with their orders.

Check out TNTcigars.com I'm not sure where they ship from but most of their stores are in AZ it shouldn't take that long for you to get you stuff from them.

I agree with this totally as this is what I do without fail. The little suckers need to nap in your humi before you smoke em anyway.

As has been mentioned - the big retailers don't do this - I have only received this from Rob and Kioki.

For most of you it probably doesn't make much difference but if your shipment takes more than three or four days I think it is well worth it.

Mine take 7 to 10 days nowadays and the water pillow at least makes me feel better.
