Just noticed you're in FInland (I'm going through writing down addies). Sorry I can't afford to include international participants.

Don't feel bad, being in the antipodes gives you advantages...

I could have paid for the shipping....I don't really get what my advantages are, could you tell me ???

Glad to see i made the list! Ill do my best to give you an honest detailed report ASAP!! :thumbs:

And i hate to take up space in this thread, but are the cigars that are up for review bundles, premiums, everyday inexpensive smokes, etc?

[snapback]212714[/snapback]​

All, or none of the above

I'm not giving anything away! All I can say is, there are going to be some surprises.

AFAIK, Cuban cigars are not illegal in your country.

And sorry, it's enough for me to coordinate sending out 25 different packages without charging for shipping, I can't bother with receiving some kind of payment from you, filling out customs forms, etc.

Yeah i can see the problem with shipping you make a great effort allready sending 29 guys their cigars, so no grudge there. The only advantage i see in living here is that i can buy cuban cigars legally, as you said. There are however alot of disadvantages with living here in Finland: The cigars cost 2-3 times more than you pay for them, I can't participate in passes, I have a hard time getting somebody to sell me a Newbie sampler pack. But mostly that I have to pay atleast double what you pay for the same stuff, fockin customs and their taxes :angry2:

So even if you got a member here to buy you something and ship it, you'd have to pay duty on it to receive the package?

What if it was labeled "collectibles" or something rather vague?

Just received 4 & 33, about 12 hours in the freezer (stupid hot summers) and 3 days in the humi and I will be puffing away!

That post is supposed to go in the other thread.

Smoking # 12 as I speak

I just want to remind people that by making this thread I have an obligation to send out the cigars as I promised in a timely manner and pack then appropriately and of course keep track of which is which.

Likewise, those of you who have signed up for this have an obligation to smoke the cigars and report the results in a timely manner. For newbies this is a chance to get a notch in your belt (albeit a small one) in terms of trustworthiness.

I bring this up because of the fuss generated lately about not meeting obligations in a timely manner.

To the top.

4) Please, please review the sticks in a timely manner. If you think that you won't be able to smoke, much less give careful thought to, two sticks in two weeks, don't put your name down.
