I would so like to join in on this Will but I just blew my budget on a rather expensive scope for my hunting rifle *sigh*
Sailor, just an FYI. I've done several splits with Will and every one has been smooth as silk with no problems. The cigars have always arrived in excellent shape.
Just a heads-up for you in case you hadn't looked into the whole Canada Custom's issues involved in this. I have extensively. Whenever I do a split with Will, or get any cigars shipped to me from the US, I have the shipper put the correct description and number on the Customs form. This is because if you get caught sneaking cigars (or likely any product) into Canada in an attempt to avoid paying duty, they'll put your name on a watch list. The consequences to that would be of course every thing you ever order from abroad being opened and checked by CC. Worse, if you were to drive to the US, you can pretty much expect to have your vehicle (and trailer if you're pulling one) emptied out for you by the CC guys at the border.
Since my wife is from the US, I travel there a lot. The last thing on earth I need is CC emptying our truck and travel trailer on the roadside because I got caught trying to avoid paying duty on some cigars. She wouldn't divorce me, or kill me quickly. She'd make me suffer for years and years and years! LOL
Out of the 10+ packages of cigars I've had sent, only once have I paid duty.
Just FYI, (as per my many conversations with CC), duty is assessed on the number of items and declared value. So I always get whomever is sending me cigars to mark a value of about $2 per cigar on the custom form. This keeps the duty low.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
