Unfortunately I believe this box has grown more than a few times along the way.

The shipping container has been received. Didn't realize it had arrived until this morning.

There's quite a selection and I will try and get my picks sorted out, but only have had a quick look as of now.

Seems I should be able to get this thing homeward bound Friday.

Repacking this box may prove to be a challenge, It's not so bad with a bunch of small bags containing 5 or 6 cigars, but there's one unruly bag that's closer in proportion to that of a bowling ball. Ever try and get a bowling ball into a LFR box? Think, "chubby girl in a pair of panty hose."

Anyhow

PSA
It appears that some of the small humidification packs may not be as robust as they should be for winter shipping. Well I assume winter shipping and freezing is the culprit. There was some leakage in three of the packets. This created a slightly sticky situation inside three of the bags. It does not appear to have caused any actual damage, but as a precaution I removed the cellophane off of 4 cigars as they had a sticky gummness on the outside and I feared the cello could end up compromised. The inside of the cello seemed fine and the cigars slid out of the wrappers without any apparent infiltration.

The compromised bags had the Water Pillow and HumiCare packs. It seems these have vent holes and can be user filled? Perhaps the absorbent material inside doesn't handle freezing well. I suppose winter shipping means freezing may be inevitable at times. Then again, one of the Water Pillows appear perfectly fine. Just an FYI

Those are awesome puts, Greg. Enjoy the takes 😎

OBTW, for future reference Big Mama pantyhose will fit a small elephant. Don’t ask how I know.

Well I had to run out of the house early this morning and wasn't able to get this to the PO

It's boxed up and will be out tomorrow before noon.

I would suggest getting a big cooler, or a converted wine fridge. You're probably gonna need it.

Better get to it. V'ger is headed home. The post office says Monday. Hopefully nothing happens like the previously delayed trip. Should be good as it's just a couple hundred miles 🙏

I ended up repacking into a slightly larger box than a LFR. They were so tight in there I was afraid any mishandling by the PO (crushed corner etc) would damage the contents.

Target has the Ezy Storage brand, IP67 waterporof, BPA free $11 for the one they call a file storage box, but it's a great size for ceegars. I have four of the second largest, one of the largest and 2 of the smaller file size. Maybe you're all over these already, but they definitely do the trick whether temporary or long term.

Great Star Trek reference!

And kudos on the repacking…I’mma guessing it allowed you to add even more to the Unapproved / Unauthorized Host Bag. [jester]

Gentleman, the eagle has landed. Took a quick look and good lord.................
If I have a slow day at work tomorrow, I'll try and get through it while enjoying some of this Hawaiian coffee Conan so graciously provided.
I'll post up the damages from that unofficial bag I found inside as well. Thank you all for joining in and making this a success.
