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!
