    Curt, I'm probably not going to get yours out until tomorrow.
    No worries, I still have some Robusto's and a couple Londres left from the last two splits you did with Padron's. In fact, I had a 3000 Maduro yesterday afternoon while sitting in the sun sipping sweat tea.

    A first-class letter will take two days longer to get to Will from you, perhaps three days. The only thing faster is overnight courier (the expensive kind) as documents clear Customs immediately (as does first class postal letter mail ...)

    I smoked a 3000 natty last night. Good, but fresh. I have to smoke a few more this week to get under the new $800 limit. When I get back home, they're going into a humidor to sleep until the fall, at least. Box date (both Mad and Nat) is April 2012.

    Off to March Air Field museum today, Russian sub tomorrow. Hope to get onto a rental pistol range (may not be possible in CA, but we don't want to drive to Nevada).
    Yeah, I'm going to swap to checks I'm thinking. That last Postal Money order cost me something stupid like $15 and I'd rather not give them that money......lol. I think I'll call RBC today and see about some USD checks. Since RBC is in the US too and if the checks specify USD then they should clear quickly.

    My wife, and I, are drooling over the new $800 limit. It used to be you had to spend a week to get $750. Now it's 48 hours and you can have $800. I can foresee a long weekend trip to Montana in my near future. I best start spec'ing out some cigar stores near Kalispell or Missoula.........LOL

    Craig, if you ever want to shoot pistol's, come visit me. I'd be happy to take you to the range amd let you shoot mine. If my good friend and hunting partner is around, he'd come too and he has a few as well and I know he'd love to let you shoot his too.

    It's an outdoor range so you'ld want to only come during spring/summer/fall.........lol

    Thanks for the offer.
    The big thing with RBC is you can get a US bank credit card, which pretty much will buy you anything on the Internet - plus the ability to have US$ Paypal. Do your conversion online to your RBC US account and save the 2.5% conversion fee that one normally pays.

    (note that I don't (yet) have an RBC US$ account - maybe)

    I'm thinking I'll give them (RBC) a call today and see what all is offered and what it'll cost.

    Finally, all the pieces of this split are in the mail today.

    I haven't forgotten about the shipping issue. Just haven't tallied it all up yet.

    According to my calculations (disregarding actual coin change / overages I get the following which will be applied in a future split:

    logan37 ~ I owe you approximately $9.00; mailed money out on 12-18-12
    bigbill1300 ~ I owe you approximately $4.50; worked it out on http://www.cigarsmokers.com/threads/...012-Multisplit
    mangyrat ~ I owe you approimately $4.50; worked it out http://www.cigarsmokers.com/threads/...012-Multisplit

    Thanks,
    Will

    ETA: Added updates to overpayments. This is done.

    Padron deep-freezes their cigars, no roach needed. Please do keep an eye on the hydrometer, though.
