I just stopped into the post office to send out a Birthday Package, some cigars for Lenny. They asked me what I was sending, not thinking any thing of it, I told them. They refused the package, and told me that interstate mailing of tobacco products were against the regs. I laughed, until I realized they were serious. Oh well, I am headed to another post office now, to send out the cigars to Lenny. F#ck the regs.

P.S. I guess these regs are not usually enforced, hence all the packages sent by dbid in any given week.

Don't laught too much -

- that's an interstate trafficking violation (federal offense).

It's intent and purpose were established initially to protect individual States and the Federal Government's interest in collecting taxes.

Yes, but since their is no tranfer of funds, it is a gift, no taxes are owed, so they can kiss my A$$.

When I've mailed cigars,they ask if there is anything fragile or hazardous in the box. I've always have said no,just cigars. No problem. X

If mailing cigars is against the law how do all companies that sell over the internet get away with it? Maybe that post office is just FUBAR. Brothers and sisters of the leaf will always find a way!

Sorry you have to go to a second post office for me Dave. I was once asked if I was sending cigarettes. I honestly answered no and they happily took my package of cigars 🙂 But this was being sent to an APO address, I've never heard of a problem with domestic shipping. One of the most frustrating things about the PO is the inconsistency.

I've never had any problems out here. Without knowing the law you just mentioned I've always told them that I was sending cigars and they just smile at me.

I guess not all post offices are that anal. I've sent cigars both APO and domestic and told them so and they didn't seem to mind. Next time, if they ask, I'll say it's a pen set -- that's what my Habanos supplier declairs on his packages.

When I ship to Billy over seas, I declar that it's "school supplies" which could be true depending on how you look at it.

Monica style is the only way I want them.

Alas, I too am a lesbian trapped in a mans body.
So I guess us girls will have a pillow fight with E.

The postal clerk was wrong according to the USPS website.

(doesn't mention finished tobacco).

Now back to the Lesbians.
