By "end of year" box pass, did you mean 2025?

I've had packages go off grid then pop up at the destination. Have faith, it'll get there.

Must be on the slow boat.

Not just China. We try to buy made in USA from local people but once upon a time my wife saw these cute flowery overalls she was liked. This was like February several years ago, she was thinking she would wear them in the spring/summer gardening. We had written them off by the time they finally arrived 11 months later. I think those were definitely in a container on a slow boat from China.

Same. I’ve given up on boycotting China or overseas made products but I try to buy American made and I shop at local businesses. Putting forth an effort is the best I can do.

If only our local tobacconists understood pressure & draft humidification and rolling/moving sticks. Then, I could buy an overpriced stick and smoke it at the front door. I bought 5 'domo, 3 20th anni, 2 champagne at the beginning of December. First 20th was a canoe. The other 4 sticks have required major surgery after carefully stepping down RH.

My point? Too many local and American Made businesses are unskilled and complacent. If these businesses would just put in the same effort the consumer does to support them I wouldn't feel bamboozled. Last pair of boot's I bough were Danner at $265, the sole cracked after 6 months. $45 Walmart boots get better wear. It's the same stories over and over. What's the point of supporting an American business that can't support Americans?

I'm guessing they fell off the back of the truck somewhere.

YAHOO!

Will miracles never cease!

Box delivered!

A bit beat up with a 2” hole on one of the bottom corners so hopefully nothing dropped out. From just looking at the top, there’s gotta be a BOATLOAD of smokes.

Will sift through the bags and figure out my Takes and Puts.

Edit: pulled everything out of the box and from the way John or JTS packed it with bubble wrap on the bottom, I don't think anything fell out. John - mahalo for the 5ver! After I laid out all the bags, saw a few cigars that I'd like to take but gonna hafta take a deeper look later this afternoon.

Fantastic!!

I felt totally responsible for the box being missing. Very happy it turned up! And it sounds like everything was intact! Sweet!
