Maybe some of you who have had luck getting ISOMs shipped to you can shed some light on this. I've checked with numerous online tobacconists shipping ISOMs to the US. I inquire about refunds for seized product and most will refund with a fax proof of seizure. However, all I've checked do not ship their cigars to the US under proper humidification and all state that it takes from 7-14 days maybe longer because of tightened security. I don't see how this is acceptable. Would any of you take your entire cigar inventory and put it outside for 2 weeks without proper humidification?! I've been burned once like this but not again. You cannot tell me that cigars shipped to the US without properly sealed bags or sealed in shrinkwrap or placed in humi pouches are going to be anything near in quality to what they would be like buying and smoking them on the same day. You simply cannot recover a cigar's oils after they are gone and the cigar is dry. You can humidify the crap out of it and all you do is turn a dry premium ISOM dog rocket into a humid one.
So, with my ranting behind me, have any of you dealt with a dealer that takes humidification into consideration when shipping to the US? What are the prices like?
