Baggies for mailing cigars?

[Nickerson]

Was wondering what people recommended for baggies for mailing cigars. Are the standard ziplock bags you buy at a grocery store as good as the baggies retailers use when they send you cigars?

I had a big lot of bags from all my purchases over past few years. However with all the splits and other things I've done recently I'm down to like 3 baggies!

So whats your recommendations?

EDIT: I came across these on amazon. They are 4MM thick, polyethylene, 6"x9". The dimensions were my ideal size. Retailers who sell 5packs usually put them in a 5"x8" baggy. I couldn't fit 5x 56 RG cigars into one though so the 6" would be good. Will the Polyethylene hold humidity?

I like to keep things simple so I use the ziplock freezer bags. If I'm shipping a large amount of cigars like a troop bomb or something I'll put the sticks in a 5 finger bag and then put them in a gallon size freezer bag. then wrap some bubble tape around them and good to ship.

Yeah I have a few of those, I don't care for the dividers in them.

with all the box pick ups and splits you do, do you have any ribbon left over? you could always ribbon around the baggie to hold the cigars gently in place. and, when in doubt, throw a boveda pack in, never hurts.

I just buy some ziplock syle baggies that you get from the grocery store.

Never had any complaints yet.

I thought finger bags were available in the BOTL store?

Looking for nickel or dime size baggies:grin:

Ziplocks from the store work well.
