According to the banner shipping delays are possible due to the high number of orders. Has anyone noticed a flood of products on the site? I haven’t noticed a big increase in products but I do know everything is slowing down in this country due to the virus. What’s your thoughts?

They have to double check all the smokes for WuRona.

Really hoping my order from last night gets out before PA closes down. Although TBHO I would rather the cbid staff stay safe and prevent the spread over anything. Cigars can wait.

It's probably the same as the toilet paper run. Someone posted that cigar manufacturing was being affected by shutdowns and the there was the claim that one type of cigar cures the virus while another repels it. I wish someone would give them Puddin's address so they could go over and take some of his huge supply. Are there any TP for cigars trades being offered yet ?

I was hoping$ would go down due to prioritize and such. Looking like it's the opposite direction. At least they got some new saka stuff hopefully they get more. The local has been moving a larger volumn as well. Priority's

I thought about using some gurkhas as tp, but didn't want to insult my feces.

I hear in response to the virus crisis, they're going to do the following to all packages before they go out:

1. Total immersion in 100% bleach for at least one hour
2. Autoclave at 250 °F for five hours
3. Put through wood chipper (exposes more surface area for next step)
4. Pieces exposed to intense broadspectrum UV light for at least 12 hours
5. Pieces doused in gasoline and lit ablaze.

Once the fire dies, the resulting ashes are sent out to you, via UPS SurePost.

Yes it causes a shipping delay, but just look at these benefits!

1. Greatly reduced shipping charge as 95% of original weight is gone!
2. Guaranteed Coronavirus-free!
3. Guaranteed tobacco beetle-free!

Totally worth it! jester

I wondered how you could guarantee a virus free shipment.

I think City Lights here in Fresno might be doing curbside service too... They don't sell cigars though...
