So I always seem to run into trouble when I send out cigars and lable them as cigars. One time the UPS guy said his location can't ship tobacco. Today I went to send a few sticks to a brother serving in Iraq via USPS and they say nope. So I promptly took the package to another post office and on the customs form I listed the contents as "HERF Paper." They took it no problem.

    Haha. That was a package I got from an Australian dealer of Habanos.

    I usually use candles, art supplies, markers, etc.

    I've gotten a few ISOM's from BOTL's across the border, and they typically use "hobby supplies". Haven't had a problem yet :)

    Figurines, collectible bands, hobby supplies, and travel brochures seem to work :P

    Yep, and the best part is that it's (technically) true.
