Good advice...if only I had the resources to let a cigar rest a few weeks...or even a few years...it would take away ANY complaints that I have concerning shipping. Unfortunately, that's not the case. I sympathize with the folks that takes 10-12 days. That is sad, but if it's done right...as it has been done a few times in the past...it's 5 days. Other shops in CB's area gets them here in 5 days using the same mode of transport.
I understand things that are beyond their control...like the recent floods, etc. BTW, I'm sure that what you are saying is true...however, I've actually gotten sticks off the truck that were HOT to the touch. <rant complete>
P.S. You were correct when you said it wouldn't RUIN a good cigar and I accept that. What it does is makes it less flavorful for a while.
