    Canada Post. Not sure how their system updates but I just went to the local outlet this morning. It also happens to be a gas station so the parcel may not have entered the system yet. They said it should be to you by Monday next week

    They're f*cking with you to try to save having to give you back your money. The clock starts with an origin scan, which they should have done in front of you. I bet the delivery guarantee is three days from that location, i.e., Friday. If the origin scan is done after 3pm (usually) today, then the three days becomes Monday. Tip: Canada Post misses their delivery guarantee on parcels quite often. I have gotten my money back 80% of the time in the past. Submit a claim online if it happens - and you'll get a cheque to in the mail.

    (There are no delivery standards to the States - it'll take about 10 days for the parcel to get to Whale.)

    Just takes time for their public system to update. It shows now as being scanned at 11:30.

    Yahoo, scanned before noon, ETA Friday! Sorry, I am used to instantaneous tracking updates. Normally I enter the code when I get the receipt, and the parcel shows on the website just as I leave the postal counter. A half-day delay is typical on exit.

    I didn't think Nestleton was that remote - did you get any flooding?

    Ok I can take a hint. Here is Wimbel.

    After his long journey I figured he may want to unwind with a little ice fishing.

    Wimbel has just arrived in Canada's capital. He was a little overheated upon arrival, but is now resting comfortably.

    ETA: I told Wimbel that I am going to Amsterdam next week and that the Red Light District is in between my hotel and Hajenius (supposed to be one of the best B&M's in the world - http://hajenius.com). He had quite the reaction as the attached pic shows.

    Proposed takes:
    Cohiba Siglo VI
    RP Edge Maduro Torpedo
    Opus X xXx (Power Ranger)

    Proposed puts:
    Partagas Culebras (in coffin) - Feb 09 (LCDH exclusive)
    San Cristobal de la Habano Mercadores - Dec 05 (LCDH exclusive, I believe LCDH OR)
    Tatuaje Anarchy - est. Dec 10, OR
    Por Larrańaga Petit Corona - Sep 08
    Partagas Shorts (cabinet) - Aug

    ETA2: I didn't see the Montecristo Platinum Churchill. The Cohiba had a minor wrapper tear at the foot, but I don't mind ;-). All other cigars are okay.

    Damn Wimbel! What if you mother sees these pictures?! Pull yourself together!!


    Puts and takes look amazing(Throw in the Tatuage Anarchy instead of the Larranaga). I'll update the list.

    Sorry Roham, the 'OR' on the Tat is for "Original Release" - this is from (via Paddy) the first release of the (first) Anarchy cigars in late 2010. Both the Tat and the PLPC are puts.

    I also had the year of the Party Short disappear (silly smartphone keyboard wants to see periods or it thinks a carriage return means delete last word) - it is Aug 06

    Ashauler - don't worry, the Culebras will make it to you. ;-)

    I have to show Wimbel Ottawa - pass will ship Monday.

    But, tradgedy has befallen Wimbel. His beloved nut (holder) busted. See:



    Good thing for Wimbel, he's at fix-it-up chappy's house! We'll get him mended in no time for his special visit tomorrow...

    Oh yeah, all the cigars appear to be here, and they look ok to me. I don't have a clue what I'm going to trade...

    Not sure all the pieces are here. Looks like his Ed Grimley whisp is chipped too.

    Damn, Wimbel...what were you doing on the way here?
