Will my cigars be OK?

Jon11 · 07-19-2011, 07:57 PM

Thanks to alot of the suggestions on this forum, I have about $300 in cigars being shipped from CI. There is only one problem. The order was shipped today and wont arrive until Monday the 25th, I will be out of town until Wednesday night the 27th. That is a total of 9 to 10 days that the cigars will be out of a humidor. I do have someone who can put the package inside my house once it arrives on Monday, but not in the humidor until I get home on Wednesday. Will the cigars be ok, or should I worry?

If they'd be sitting on your front porch, I'd be worried, but inside you're house, you're good. The last time I ordered from CI/cbid, they were quite wet anyway.

I think OP is a good reason of why CI/Famous ship cigars wet: it keeps down on returns in situations like this. The downside is that it takes a month or more for the sticks to acclimate at 65%RH.

They'll be perfectly fine, don't sweat it for a minute, brother.

What Scott said... worry less, enjoy cigars more...

I would be worried about beetles with this heat. But that's just me. You should be fine though, as long they aren't sitting on your doorstep for days in 100+ heat.

Ogre · 07-19-2011, 08:08 PM

You should be fine. They are wrapped.

neoflex · 07-19-2011, 08:22 PM

Cigars are a lot more resilient than most people think. This time of year though I would be more nervous about them sitting out in the heat for a few days. Do you have anyone to intercept the package after being delivered to either put in your/their house until you get home? Like others mentioned sticks usually come from large vendors a bit on the wet side to begin with plus the fact that this time of year with the higher humidity I wouldn't be worried about them getting dry but the heat should be your biggest concern.

Jon11 · 07-19-2011, 08:25 PM

Yes I do have someone who can put them inside on Monday evening.

Bingo. They will be fine inside your house. Just give them a bit more time to rest in your humidor before lighting them up if you have any concerns.

They should be fine Jon, $300 is one hell of an order!

Emjaysmash · 07-19-2011, 09:34 PM

Should be fine Jon! If you can, post some pics in the "Show Us your Latest NC Pickups" thread!

N2 GOLD · 07-20-2011, 12:43 PM

You should be just fine. They are packed & wrapped...

So what did you get???

Ratters · 07-20-2011, 09:22 PM

Ha, I usually toss a box on my desk and it takes a couple weeks till I finally get around to putting the smokes in the humidor.

Never had a problem. Cigars are a lot more hardy than people think.

nofeardiver · 07-20-2011, 09:23 PM

Will be fine inside, or have that person send them down to me I will watch over them! Lol

Its 110 over here today and I am expecting an order of 900$ from Atlantic Cigars. Hopefully the cigars don't get too damaged

area51 · 07-21-2011, 10:04 AM

What the hell did you order?

Ferrari5180 · 07-21-2011, 10:21 AM

I ordered some El Triunfadors, Tatuaje, Delirium, San Cristobal, Oliva V, Rocky Patel, Carlos Torano Virtuoso, and a bunch of 5ers here and there.
