Lol. I'm surprised I only had one grammar issue. Lack of sleep with with two under two will do that.

Ordered a Palio cutter and a box of Raices cigars a month ago. The cutter showed up very dirty with a few substantial burrs on the blades. The cigars were stuck, and looked actually melted to the top of the box. Hoping that they would smoke well after several weeks of resting I found them to be devoid of flavor and basically ruined. After contact cbid on day one they said I could return. I said let's wait a few weeks and see if they come back. Well they didn't and now that I want to return they tell me they must be in their celaphane wrappers. Wow. Most of us don't rest cigars in their wrappers. Now I get no return so be aware. If your cigars come dry as a bone, return. Half of my last $500 order was dry as could be. Now the big question, why must they be in their wrappers.... It's so they can sell them again. Amazing, I'm don't with cbid..... ************ is a much better site and the cigars actually come in quality sealed bags with boveda humis.

Having similar issue with my shipment. Eight full days baking in the 100 degree temps with zero humidification. I am so glad we are buying a product impacted by heat and humidity and CBID feels it necessary to screw us. If we are bidding on items do us all a favor and sent it in 3 days and also with humidity pillow or something to save the product. And for all the blowhards in here who say rest the cigar you know what, I should not have to rest my cigars a month or more and pray they are ok, I am paying for a product and that product is fresh tasty cigars not dry sticks void of flavor. I totally agree with this post, you are held hostage to stupid rules and stupid outdated shipping methods. I can assure you the owner of CI is not smoking this trash, his are nice and fresh as they are supposed to be for all of us.
Nice fail CBID, considering I buy a ton of cigars my money can float elsewhere because your methods stink.

Cheers

ZRX, just an observation, I don't see where he blamed CBID for the weather. I see where he faulted them for not shipping with humidification. My JR orders come with a Boveda, most B&Ms will drop one in, Even RyJ is now putting them in their tins. Perhaps your suggestion that AZ commit an impossible act of self impregnation was rather unwarranted?

A week sitting around in 100 degree weather? Don't be such a drama queen Nancy. Unless you live so far out in the middle of BF Eygpt that Abdullah has to hike across the Himalayas to deliver your cigars they aren't sitting for a week in 100 degree weather. Worse case scenario they spend 3 days in transit and get delivered by the fourth day. If you had half a brain you would have them shipped USPS priority mail and get them in 2 days. Problem solved. As far as not wanting to smoke tasteless cigars, then quit buying $1 smokes expecting them to have an Opus flavor profile.

Oh and one last thing, don't let the door hit you on your way out. You won't be missed.

(Disclaimer: I've bought well over 2000 cigars for here and have never once received an unsmokable cigar.)
