    What about the Canadian market?

    Believe it or not, there are cigar smokers up here too!

    How about sending the first 3 Canadians who respond (ok, 4, just like you did for our US bretheren) a sampler??

    Just a thought........

    Fred,
    You were fourth and I have to draw the line somewhere. I decided to send you the one cigar consolation prize. The tracking number will work when the package enters the US postal system. I must first clear US and CR customs, etc. # RR 028 850 342 CR
    You will receive:
    1 Fundacion Ancestral Pinar del Rio 1941 Churchill: From Tabacos de la Cordillera. This is a Costa Rica Puro. Ring guage, etc is on the website.

    Haven't received anything yet either.
    My! What a nice ash you have!

    No matter where you go, there you are!

    Each Saturday I check to see that all the deliveries have been received.

    For reasons that are not clear to me, everything I sent out between 11/8 and 11/10 does not show up in the US postal system. Everything I sent after up until that has been received. All the packages I have sent out between 11/11 and 11/22 have already been received.

    I will go down to the Correos de Costa Rica by Wednesday and try to find out why. I will not succeed, and just receive shrugs and smiles from the management.

    Have they been stolen? Lost? Stuck in Customs? I do not know. I have sent packages to England that only took a week and a half. Packages I sent out on 11/22 were received in th US on December 2nd. I want to give this two more days to see if they appear.

    I apologize for the delay. Every one will hear back from me by Thursday. Either they are found by then or I will send new ones.

    What about us Canadian cigar smokers?

    I hate to be a pest but you didn't respond in any fashion. Not even to say, "Sorry, not going to happen"

    Some response (even a negative one) would be nice..........................

    I should mention, while I don't own a cigar store, oddly enough, I know a fellow who does. He has contacts with all the major Canadian distributors and I'm sure could help get you into the Canadian market by pointing you towards the correct people to speak to (ie: Canadian distributors) if you are interested in expanding throughout all of North America. Just a thought.........
