As I am just getting into this here what is the way in which all trades should be shipped so the cigars arrive in the best condition.

place the smokes in a ziplock plastic bag and then place it in a cardboard box with plenty of styrofoam peanuts or bubble wrap.

Then mail it priority and e-mail your trade partner the USPS Delivery Confirmation #.

Also, do not put cellophaned and uncellophaned cigars in the same bag. The sharp creases in the cellophane can damage more delicate wrappers.

Do not ship Acids with any other cigars!

And send Steve a cigar...
