My PIF is in the mail, tracking 9405510200830766469430 through UPS. I apologize to you for having to wait so long for me to send my sticks out. Finals and traveling took up the last two weeks, but it should be there Thursday.
Just out of curiosity, is it illegal to mail cigars through the USPS? They would have been out earlier even, but when I went in to mail them and get a small box, a woman at the counter had a massive fit, claiming that mailing nicotine in any form is against the law. I'm curious because I know I have received a number of cigars from other members sent by USPS.

I took the package in late yesterday to UPS, so I imagine they were shipped today. However, my first attempt to send them was last Thursday. This woman working at the post office cited a law passed in 2010, but seeing how it is a lot easier for me to use the Post Office (and cheaper) than a UPS store, I'm legitimately curious as to why she wouldn't let me ship them. I guess I should have asked for a manager. However the sticks are in transit and should be there this week.
I apologize again to the board and TheGreekTitan, hopefully you enjoy the smokes.
After doing some searching, I found this page: https://www.usps.com/ship/domestic-t...strictions.htm I guess I will just take that with me next time I go in, show them the last sentence, and inform them of how wrong they are.

I also believe it states right on USPS's website that cigars ARE OK to ship. At least I thought I read that on there a year or so ago.
ETA: Found it! https://www.usps.com/ship/domestic-t...strictions.htm
With few exceptions, cigarettes and smokeless tobacco shipments cannot be mailed. This applies to domestic shipments, as well as inbound and outbound international shipments. Cigars are still mailable domestically, as well as internationally, unless prohibited by the destination country.For future reference.Note: these rules do not apply to cigars, which continue to be mailable matter.

Yay! Cigars!
Ok got the PIF today. Thank you TheGreekTitan for the nice solid selection!
With that said, who wants some free cigars!?
As a heads up, I will be traveling Monday through Wednesday next week (8th - 10th).
Yay! Cigars!
I too received a nice package in the mail today. Thank you Cody44. There is one in there I have not tried, but am looking forward to it.
I guess you decided to talk to the manager at the post office after all?

All's well that ends well, I guess. I thought it was sent UPS? (United Parcel Service), not USPS (United States Postal Service).
I got flack one time from a counter monkey at the post office (USPS) I also believe that UPS (big brown) WON'T send tobacco or alcohol.

I sent just took a handful of small flat rate boxes from the Post Office and took one to the UPS store when I did ship it. Glad that you received them however.
