Best advice ever, some of these people drop money on it without first doing their homework. Why pay retail price + shipping (or worse, even more) when you could do the same thing at a retailer?? Better yet, I think some sites offer free shipping depending on dollar amount....the item will eventually come around again so definitely don't get caught up in a bidding war! Like the OpusX...dunno why people pay $20+ on a single stick when you can get them for less than that with shipping

Anyone else having problems with five pack damage? They recently went to packing five packs firmly on greenish cardboard and I have had numerous cigars with bent and broken caps and feet. Anyone else? I emailed them and they said they would make note of it with no offer of replacement.

Yes... I think they put out some five packs when people return boxes and by the time the cigars have made the trip back and forth 2 times, they're running on empty with moisture. I've had broken caps on my Undercrowns, My Fathers, and Alec Bradley Family Blends... They are always quick to replace anything unsatisfactory so I'm still comfortable buying merchandise, but no cigars.
