On my recent orders I never noticed before but plain as day on the outside of the package was written "cigars" I thought to myself well that's stupid. Lol. Never noticed that before but that can't help things

mine also say cigars, i think the law requires them to technically and they are probably more likely to think they arent cc's if it says cigars than if it said something else.

Buy some chocolate at the same time and they should label the package as chocolate cigars !

Hmm all this has me curious. I have never had the pleasure of a CC but have been looking at them online. So this may mean that I can purchase them but they never arrive to my door huh? Risky business considering these smokes are not cheap.

Yes it is risky but if you find a vendor who guarantees your order they will resend the item or give you a full refund. There is a plus to the purchase.

So I wonder if the confiscated ones DIDN'T say cigars and that's why they were checked... I ordered from different vendors and I think I still have the outer packaging I'm going to check

This statement always befuddles me...save the cohibas and LE sticks several ccs are at the same price per stick and less than some of these boutiques and DE's that seem to pass around and are smoked fairly regularly ....

Vendors that ship from Switzerland have to state the contents of the package according to Swiss law as far as I'm aware.

I'm sure but ...still ...yaknow? Lol I guess a business has far more risks than we do when it comes to creative descriptions when shipping

D Quintero is referring to the recent disclosure of the mail tracking program that USPS has been using on all of us for the past 11 years http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2013...-mail-for-law-enforcement/UPI-36491372921200/

Being that fines and prosecutions for bringing in CCs have become virtually non-existent during the Obama administration, I am 99.999999% confident that they are not using this to check and see who is bringing in cigars and you should have nothing to worry about. Yes the whims of the government can and do shift at any moment but for the time being they are not concerning themselves with people bringing in a box or two of cigars every now and then. As long as you are using a vendor that guarantees shipment you should be just fine.

@Mista, like I said...I am still very new and fresh to the CC world. Thus, until I further educate myself, all I have to go off of are myths and legends. That and about the only boxes I have seen are in the ranges from $400-$600...but again, very limited looking has been done.

Sall good I definitely understand in your case but it's a common statement and definitely was not directed at just you...those are like I said cohiba Behike and limited edition/aged box type prices. You'll find far more affordable cc's I promise

Heh, this possibility is one of the reasons I haven't put the toe in this water yet. But boy do I want to do so shortly. Some of the boxes you guys have posted look amazing.

I'll admit a degree of paranoia, but not enough to make me not place an occasional order. I'm not ordering 5 boxes at a time like I see some BOTLs doing (whom I also assume are much better off financially than I am right now...), and all things considered in the current political climate I have a hard time believing that they are going to chastise a citizen for a box or two.

I still get nervous placing the order, but I think that's part of the game at least at my level where I can't afford to completely lose the money I'm spending as it would deplete my tobacco "allowance"... If I get a letter at some point I'll probably have the same thoughts about secret squirrel watching me, but I can't see it stopping me for long. The smokes are too damn good...
