Ordering Cigars from the Internet.

[cigar no baka]

what the situation is when a dealer has cigars shipped to them.

They receive them the same way we do. Generally by UPS. By the same trucks, the same routes, etc.

Lets go further. How are cigars shipped from the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Jamaica? I mean it's DAMNED hot down there.

Do huge shipments of cigars sit out on loading docks in the sun? Or in the steamy hold of a cargo ship or worse yet out on deck in a sealed container IN THE SUN?

I know there are a few dealers out there on this board. What's up guys? Is this whole "cigars exposed to heat" thing just a moot point???

Like I said above, I'm not blaming it on the heat, I'm wondering if Cbid is selling seconds or cigars that have not been properly stored or something like that.
