It has been years since I placed a Bid. Most of my cigar purchases, in the last 10 years, were Cubans. But the prices have priced me out, in the near term. So I bought a box, on Quickbuy, and I see it shipped today, on UPS. I seem to remember my shipping preferances being set to USPS, but noow I don't see a setting for shipping preferance. I always used USPS, becuase it always took 2 days, where UPS always took 5-7 days??
WTF??

You ain't wolfin.
When my favorite cheapo, Partagas PCE, has more than doubled in price, in 5 years, I will not be buying more, unless the price drops. Glad I stocked up, when prices were reasonable.

Well, USPS was always faster than UPS.
It will be interesting to see how long it takes. In the brutal heat, we are experiancing this summer, I hope they aren't moldy, when I get them. The RH locally is always between 70%- 80%, with temps in the 90s, perfect atmosperic conditions for mold.
