To ship or not to ship

DPD6030 · 08-15-2009, 11:47 AM

Ok so some of you know I am attending the EYH herf in November. Now I have my plane ticket and I'm packing light with only a carry on bag (I can take one carry-on plus a briefcase or the like). Should I ship my cigars before my arrival or just take them on the plane with me and save my carry on bag for my clothes? I already plan on shipping my tent so I have a place to crash.

I'd carry them on with you. I have in the past and haven't had any problems.

I'm just thinking with a backpack will I have enough room with the essentials (clothes, toothbrush, deodorant, ect) for cigars. I suppose my 30 count could be my "briefcase".

I think a 30 count makes a beautiful briefcase. Just put it on you lap and call it your laptop.

You could also carry on a bigger bag that will hold everything.

When I go "home" on vacation, I ship to myself on occasion. I carry my smokes on occasion. I place orders to be delivered "home" on occasion. So I would say it depends on what you feel most comfortable doing.

Hey, it's a herf ain't it? Maybe you should do all three!

I say take your cigars as carry on and ship your cloths.

Get used to storing things in the butt in case you get searched.

Carry them on man. I carried mine and debanded them. What a wasted effort. They didnt even open either travel humi

Naw, ya really wouldn't want to ship all of those lovely sticks down to Brent and have him fighting temptation now would you? Just ship them to me.

I'll look after them real nicely
