Anthony, Thanks for all the work on this one, shows you are true BOTL

As far as the #9 smoke I say still let's keep it out of rotation, it is just not worth that much anyways, if you can do the same miracle for the other one that just has a small problem that would be great.

Regarding the packaging they both look great to me. Maybe the only consideration would be weight ( shipping cost ) of the box. If no one posts any opinions by end ofthe day I will let you decide which option you think is best.

*** FOR THE EXTRA EFFORT ANTHONY IS AWARDED A WOAM ***

Make sure you take that one for yourself !!!!!

I used a container similar to option 2 for a tupperdor for a while. I used weather stripping around the lip and it worked great.

Very kind of you to do this Anthony.

Dan,
That means alot coming from you, and I thank you and the rest of the BOTL's here for making this such an enjoyable place.

#9 is out and has been replaced with a Perdomo Lot 23 Robusto (#55)

The damage to #44 is slight and since the cap will be cut when you smoke it I'll leave it be.

In regards to the weight, they both seem to weigh about the same. Only difference is that Option #2 isn't 100% air tight, so I've grabbed an extra large zip lock to go around it.

Option #2 it is. Package will be packed up tomorrow morning and in the mail tomorrow afternoon. DC# to follow then.

I've been dying to try the WOAM and I thank you for the very generous offer. The extra effort is no problem for me, and I just want to make sure we all get the smokes in good shape and even more important that the young men and women who are risking their lives for our country get to enjoy them. It would be awesome if we could get them all to pose for a picture smoking the stogies when they get them!

Should I weatherstrip the lip and put it inside the extra large zip lock or do you think just the weatherstrip will be enough? There are 4 small holes where the hinges meet the container that would let humidity escape.

Thanks for the kinds words Chris, and if you are a Corojo fan shoot me a PM. I think I have something you might want to try.

I would do both the weatherstrip and the ziplock. It cant hurt to be too cautious.

Working for a shipping company, I've seen first hand how these boxes are handled.
