wwhwang:Hey guys! I'm in Kitchener, Ontario already. Hope you guys have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
camgfs:Welcome to Canada......where you can NO LONGER GET YOUR STICKS FROM CCOM! Honestly, I hope you brought enough with you. I have been busy with college, and just finished my first semester exams. I was going to celebrate by getting some Opus Lost City sticks, but was told that ccom no longer caters to the northern botl. What a shame.

What a shame.Try asking someone to be your middle man. Have all your sticks shipped to him, then have him ship to you. CCom does allow that and will allow free shipping to the middle man.
kingjk729:I have offered a few peeps the service of being a middle man ... I live in Buffalo 10 minutes from the border . Hit me up with a pm if needed.
fla-gypsy:Glad you made safely bro, try to acclimate and stay in touch with us.
cabinetmaker:Damn, I can barely stand it below 40 F...Hope you brought a tuque. Glad you got there safe!
laker1963: cabinetmaker:Damn, I can barely stand it below 40 F...Hope you brought a tuque. Glad you got there safe!You don't want to go to Alberta in the winter then. When I worked there as a younger man back in the 80's, the coldest we worked in (or tried to ) was minus 43 below zero. Exposed skin will freeze in seconds. That is the biggest reason for me now living on Vancouver Island. This is as tropical as it get's in Canada.

How does anyone even do anything in that much cold?Very, very slowly, and with a LOT of cursing !
wwhwang:Thanks for the encouragement and well wishes, guys. Enjoying time with my fiancee, but reeling from all the prices on tobacco. Ever seen a 5 dollar Padron 3000 be tagged at 24 bucks? Or AF Curly Head (2 dollars) be charged 9 to 12? Also too cold to smoke anything outside.
wwhwang:Man, I hate shipping my humidors. So far, a bunch of ISOM Montecristo minis, Camacho Liberty 2010, Gurkha Warlord, and Tatuaje Black are completely destroyed. And the seal on one of my humis is probably gone.

Guess you should have packaged them up as though you were sending them to a BOTL and used that packaging protocol. In reality you were sending them to a BOTL even if it was yourself, so how was your packaging?

In reality you were sending them to a BOTL even if it was yourself, so how was your packaging?I packed everything with lots of those air pillows and clothes as filler cushions. Even so, the rare cigars (and not my everyday smokes) somehow got completely shredded and the inside lining was knocked out of kilter. I guess all I need is a bit of wood glue for the inside lining. But the wrapper on the cigars are completely ruined.
