I know that breaking boxes into five packs makes much more sense financially, but I would like to see some boxes of good cigars (NOT Habana Gold or some other third-rate brand) occasionally appear in the Quickies...Another idea I had..Why not (once per month or (preferably :D ) once a weekend for example) advertise a (example) "Super Saturday!" where auctions of some boxes and five packs of excellent cigars (Padrons, Bahia, maybe VSG five packs for example) go on the Quickies area?...I would think that this would really generate a lot more traffic and more bids on the other regular auctions...Thanks for listening!...Keith

Great suggestion. I would like to see an option for a longer period for shipping. Like maybe give the option of 2-3 weeks.

I think my mailman would get a hernia if they put three weeks worth of stuff in one box.

Stupid question ... why would anyone want to wait 2/3 weeks for their purchases, and do you know what a nightmare that would be for the shipping dept?

There are no stupid questions. Some reasons could be:
Easier for those that get paid every other Fri.

Easier for those that get paid on the 15th and the last day of the month. (State of de used to)

The wife/sig. other will think you've cut your spending in half

No such thing as a stupid question but of course there are some in this world who have all of the answers! I do have a problem with 2/3 weeks and the freshness of the cigars in the order.

I don't think the suggestion was to make ALL shipping 2-3 weeks. I think the suggestion was to make that one option. If you don't want to wait 2-3 weeks keep your setting at daily or every Friday. Enough said.

Damn good suggestion, wish I had thought about it, but they can ship all the California orders to my house! Charlie

Thank you Plabonte. As mentioned, it would be an option.
