I have a shippinf forwarder with a US address, so that part is taken care of but after bidding on a couple auctions it seems I won't be able to pay for them because I only have a foreign credit card registered to an address in the UK.
this won't end well...

Hush, Frank. Got a live one on the line!
Say it isn't so!!
Yah!
Didn't realise it would be a problem especially seeing as I'd sorted out a forwarding company. Was no problem for me to take orders from Americans for my business. Anyway, if it's too much hassle, I'll kindly **** off, but thought I'd check first.
I'd say just order from a cigar retailer, not auction site. Cbid has been overloaded lately as evidenced by all the posts about customer service attempts and shipping delays etc.

I'm not even trying to dodge the tax. With the high tax, the price still won't come anywhere close to $250... Well at least I don't think so from what I've managed to research so far. My first purchase is kind of a test to find out.
Cigar International accept PayPal, so maybe I'll try them. Thanks for your help, especially MAC.
I think I my have found a solution; use a VISA gift card and register the forwarding address as my billing address.
He would know the tricks.
Thanks for your help, especially MAC.

He’s full of himself as it is...
was Bburgess the guy who was living in Japan several years ago?
His stuff went to a friend at one of the US Air Force bases there, and they would remail them once they received them.
But I'm a loser.
