    Sent out a couple of gifts yesterday boxed in old COTM club boxes. They were returned to me today from my local post office with a note saying "Tobacco products are not allowed in the postal stream." This from the very same post office that delivers those COTM boxes to me. There were no cigars in the boxes. Also, I think someone needs to brush up on policy. Maybe me, but I doubt it.

    This happens sometimes but they are allowed. Some states like CA require they be shipped Adult Signature Required though which would be something different.

    Go back and ask how they got delivered to you, by USPS.

    Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

    Sounds like someone at your Post Office is bucking for a position in the new Nahtsi party. Long ago someone here posted a link to the Post Office regs concerning tobacco, and your postal worker is wrong.

    Wrong, wrong, and wrong. Give 'em an inch and they think they're a ruler.

    Good night, I wish I could've recorded that conversation. They are adamant about the tobacco policy rumor. Even asked how they thought I got the COTM delivered. Anyway, $16 lesson on wrapping any container that says cigar or tobacco on it. SMH. Got me all fired up.

    Write a letter of concern/file a complaint to the Consumer Advocate. They (local monkeys) don't understand anything until it becomes a formal inquiry and shoved down their throats.

    It works, I know it works. 😁

    Hey, you gonna eat the rest of that corndog?

    Oh, it is also very, very helpful if you have names of the employee....

    Success! Probably would have been easier to have dropped it off, you could've hung out in the back yard with a pipe or cigars for a bit. Thanks Chris.

    You'd think, by now I'd be prepared to be let down by USPS during December, but no... Everything I send out and/or incoming seems to be at least one day slower, and some get stuck somewhere. Pretty standard fare for USPS in Dec. but I keep forgetting this happens every year.

    Another of my packages is visiting Baton Rouge today. I've never been there. It's at least a 10 hour drive from here, in the wrong direction from whence the package was sent.

    I wonder what the attraction is? My packages seem determined to make this long, arduous, out of the way trek from time to time. Sometimes the package then makes its way to other out of the way destinations, like Kansas.

    I guess the Hemingways will be ready for a nice long nap, should they ever arrive here. I have a spot prepared.

    Can anyone explain what sense it makes to send a shipment from California to WV via Hawaii?

    Same reason they sent my motorcycle parts from California to Memphis to Orlando and back to Memphis before they sent them to me. The Eternal Mystery.

    Picking up my sns at the post office. The window opens in 3 minutes. There are 47 people in front of me in line (and 6 behind). It might not be this bad though, 2 of them look like they are together, so only 46 to go?

    Glad I live in a small town. We have 4 small post offices, spaced 4-6 miles apart. Never more than a 5 minute wait when it is busy.

    Same here. If there is more than one person other than me inside the lobby it’s a busy day.

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    I should have brought a freaking chair

    At least you didn’t have to endure the first half of this game
