Ordering Cigars from the Internet.

[superman78]

Well I guess in hot and humid climates you take your chances ordering cigars online. As I posted in another thread, I ordered both Camacho Corojo and La Gloria Cubana Series R #7 from cigarbid. They came in ziploc bags, well packed, but with no humidification device and the things were hot as So I put them in the humidor and had my first one today, about 5-7 days later.

It was dry and tasteless and the damn things wrapper cracked as soon as I lit up. So of course I started to say
being totally disgusted. I don't think I'll be ordering any more cigars online unless I move somewhere more temperate.

that stinks i got about two hundred dollars worth coming,thanls for the bummer on friday

what you must remember is that the shops around you have them shipped too.

I often cringe at ordering cigars during the summer. But the shops around me have them sent to them the same way I would receive them by UPS.

On my last trip to FLA visiting friends I stopped at a favorite shop that carries Torano and bought a box of 1859 Silver Gran Churchills later that day they had to sit in a closed up car for two hours in Florida heat. That night aftyer arriving home in New England I lit one up to find that the heat had affected them. After a one week rest in the humidor they are much better, two weeks even more so. Are they as good as non-heated? I don't think so, but close.

Ask your local shops what they think about cigars being exposed to heat. Ya know, I'm starting a new thread with that question!!!

The next time down to FLA I will remember to bring my cigars indoors with me while traveling!

Ok MMAB, after reading your post I am going to let them rest in the humidor (damn I need another one, this one is constantly full!) for a few weeks or so and try one again. Thanks!

I know here in East TN the humidity is CRAZY!!! My friends that have humis are going nuts right now, because it is so hard to keep up with in humid weather. I've heard of big shops here in the south having the same problems. I know I was in South Carolina last week and bought a few cigars. By the time I smoked the last one, I could tell the weather had affected it. Damn summer time!!! I'm ready for fall/winter, enough of this 115 degree shit with 90% humidity.
