Well I got a package today that was covered with Lime green tape :c

"But it was a empty brown paper package that had the lime green tape :c
Examined by customs on it." It was empty inside except a typed note.

Bummer dude. I got some green tape once, the smokes were still inside the package. Go figure.

Awwwww. Sheeeeeeeyat! :c

 

[dayplanner]

What flipflop said.:w

 

[DUFFER]

I received one last Christmas and just the other day my mail lady asked me about. I got some coffee in the mail and she said "that's odd, you usually get cigars".

She then asked why Customs stuck a letter in my package and sent it to me anyways. I told her it was a simple misunderstanding and that the product was replaced (not that Customs replaced it).:w

I still don't think she put 2+2 together yet.

Just out of curosity... whats the penalty for that?

Ryan

 

[sirwinston]

The penalty should be hangin, but I think US Customs is exempt from the laws of the gorilla!

OOOhhh. you mean for the contraband?

 

[OnePyroTec]

I think the penalty is, you have to sit on the side for 5 minutes before making another cigar order.

Your dilema came up at a circle of smokers in Baltimore. All forward their condolances.

 

[Ryan]

So they just take your smokes and thats it? no fine?

Ryan

 

[sirwinston]

No fine for a box Ryan. They barely raise an eyebrow over a box or 2. They could impose a fine if they wanted to but nothing usually happens. I know a guy that got 3 of his boxes opened recently and the smokes were slit down the length with a razzor then sent on for delivery.

Lose a 50 cab of Trinidads & a rare box of HU Club Epicures in one shipment & it hurts quite bad I assure you.
There is no guarantee there wont be a fine in the future for past seizures either.
