headed to nyc to train, with package in gym bag, going to give it another try at a ups or fed ex store by Madison square garden....this time I'm going to keep my mouth shut...
*crosses fingers*
You're not supposed to say cubans, lol. J\K man. I think that guy takes his job too seriously, I ship them usps all the time. Then again, no one knows whats in the box.

I thought he was wrong too, but I'm not going to stand there and yell at a postal agent who had a rule book in his hands, then he put it down, asked someone else, and told me sorry, I can't ship cigars...... then I told him I send\recieve cigars in the mail before, and he just apologized again.... next time I just won't say whats in the package...... screw em..... just got off the train in NYC..... gonna find some place to ship these before I head back to nj...

matt. i ship all of my trades or pifs etc. through my ups or fed ex account at work. you are allowed to ship cigars anywhere in the us without a problem(i havent had any problem). does gespinoza live in canada or outside the us? in order to ship tobbacco internationally you have to be a liscensed tobbacco merchent(b&m or online store).there are ways around that though, just be creative. if you are sending in the us just dont tell anyone whats in it just mail it. if someone asks tell em its a gift of some sort.
package sent gespinoza.... will be there tommorow before 12 noon..... EMS with tracking info.... post if you can before you leave for the weekend, and let us know if you like the cigars....

I think shipping cigars has to do with taxes doesnt it? No one has eve asked me except this last time I went to send out my PIF. I was not expecting it and the fedex girl said
"What are you shipping?" "Excuse me." "What are you shipping?" "Cigarrrr Cutter." I said.
It was funny.
Dont worry Matt I will ost them up tomorrow night after I get them. Thanks!

I am very pleased with Gost's PIF and I am looking forward to smoking all of them. Thanks Gost.
