any extras that you get to keep can be PIF'd to wi hehe. Me personally, Don't like when orders get mixed up, lost or anything cause I usually end up feeling guilty that me nor the place of transaction didn't get what we paid for or sold. I don't want anyone in a transaction that deals with me feel lost out. Its hard to do business with someone if theres a bad taste in the mouth either way.

So uhm, where do I place my order? :-)

Same

So Drew... when does the Rochester crew get to try one... you've piqued my curiosity. :-)
[Reply]

well, I need to figure out how to ship them on the cheap. I guess i have to find a good source of small boxes...

also what are the legalities behind selling them, would i just be selling the Cigar band? haha, what prices, pending the reviews i get (to make sure they arent too bad) would people pay for one?

@ Dball, let me know the next time you are out at Jerry's and i will hand one over. I would value your input.

Thats is what i was using, the smallest flatrate box which is 5.20 to ship. making it expensive to ship samples. i would rather pay postage by weight
[Reply]

Great thread, and the cigars look great!
[Reply]

Use bubble mailers and regular postage, first class. I think it's like a min. charge of $1.87 and the mailers can be found for cheap if you shop around.
[Reply]

i was thinking that, but one wrong bend and oops.... broken
[Reply]

It's 5 bucks to ship anywhere in the US with the small flat rate boxes. Probably the best way to go. I have a ton at my place. Come out to Moe's Sunday and I can bring you some if ya need em.

Can't wait to try the cigar, man :-)
[Reply]

True, but I have never received nor sent sticks that were received broken by this method.
[Reply]

There should be several light, creative solutions for reinforcing the stick(s) for transport unless maybe you can secure some generic tubos for shooting samples around.
[Reply]

He mentioned that he wants to pay less than "$5.20" to ship samples. Some times bubble mailers are the way to go. Most of the time flat rate is where it's at, but not always.
