Distributor to B&M shipping?

[obmike]

I had bought a couple boxes of cigars and was worried about the shipping during the summer heat and I started thinking about shipping from the distributor to the B&M. For those of you affiliated - how do you get stock? FedEx? Do you worry about beetles?

I'm always ordering....winter and summer. I haven't had a beetle problem yet, and all my orders come UPS or Fedex Ground. So far, so good.

Thanks for the info. I was avoiding buying stuff in the summer, but then I started to think about retailers in Arizona or Nevada. It gets 110 there.

That darn global warming, or wait... isn't it "climate change" now?

I too order all the time. Summer and winter. Never a problem.

I know that you ask about those in the cigar business, which I am not a part of, but I know living in Tucson has been hell on my cigars. I have a hell trying to keep the temp down, so I am more concerned with keeping the cigars humid now, which I do have a little control on, and keeping an eye on them all of the time for beetles. I have even gone to putting everything in individual plastic bags, even if they have cello on, to keep them a bit more separate.

Just one of the many, many challenges of living in Tucson, Arizona...
