Here is the response I received.
"Mr. Gordon,Orders from 8.8 are the ones that are affected. With the new FDA regulations, any new cigars that come onto the market after 8.8.16 need to be registered. If they are not registered within 2 years they cannot be sold. With that said, manufacturers rushed product and shipped us lots of merchandise to get out on our site before 8.8.16. Unfortunately, some of the items we received were defective or the packaging was not up to par. All of these things occurring put us behind hence the abnormal delay with shipping.At this time, I do not have a projected shipping date.Again I apologize for any inconvenience caused by the unintended shipping delay. If there is anything else I can assist you with please let me know.Sincerely,DamarieCustomer Service"
