LOL sticks show up after a YEAR

[esse]

So, I ordered a box of sir winnies back in 2012 that didn't arrive. I got in touch with the distributor and they were very nice about it and said they'd try again.
Still no luck..

Anyway, I've since forgot about that order until today.. a year later.. a random package arrives

I'm pretty damn happy but man A YEAR??

 

[CigarGavin]

Damn, was it delivered via a fishing boat driven by a lone Fedex man and then transferred to a dyslexic donkey in NY?

Probably not.... but still hell of a surprise right?

There have been a lot of packages arriving this last week that have gone missing from 2+ years. Crazy.

And reminder, no discussion on shipping specifics/vendors etc... keep it general.

 

[AlohaStyle]

and btw, what a nice surprise huh? A box of SW's that you forgot about. LOL Let them sit awhile, re-acclimate and try those suckers out.

 

[Hoshneer]

How does that even happen?!

Wasnt trying to bring up forbidden topics, just trying to think of a hilarious scenario..... may have tried too hard :sadpace:

That is crazy. Just so you know that bands were hand drawn each and everyone. The tobacco grown cut and dried from every reach of the world and they are finally done. Geeze how don't you know this.

LOL

It's good to hear you got them hope they are delicious with that kind of age lol.

Wait. What?

What do you mean exactly? Stories?

This.

So anyone who buys from secondary markets should be extra careful, these will pop up for sale with no disclaimer letting you know. You don't want to buy sticks that have not been stored properly for this long

^I hear that. There will be a flood of dried up smokes on the secondary market for the next few months. Scary.

My comment wasn't toward you or anyone, just kind of a reminder for any comments that were about to come. I just have seen how these threads can end up, and then get closed. LOL

That's messed up really. It's always "buyer beware", but it really applies in this case. Seen quite a few of these land recently. Crazy...

Good point. I was saying the same thing while over on OLH a little bit ago. We need a CIGARFAX service. I'd think that buying anything with '11 box codes could be a little risky for the next few months (years?)...especially in the gray/secondary markets.

 

[StogieNinja]

I'd certainly be concerned, unless it was a seller I trusted.

Wednesday I received two packages from the same purveyor. Both were 9 months to a year late...

Today the same thing- 2 packages from the same place...9 months to a year late...

Two in one day. Twice. 9 months to a year late...Nuts.

 

[cvm4]

Crazy... So the customers get to refund the retailers now? :dunno:

Of course I kid... Cigars have gotta be dried out, if not on the edge of gone.

 

[RacFocus]

Makes me wonder if one day I will come home to a random package. Here's hoping.

Wow. That's almost inconceivable. Those customs officials humi's must be bulging at the seams & they didn't have room for one more stick! LOL.

 

[Duxnutz]

Crazy! Same here, package turned up out of the blue from 2012 order. Thought someone was being overly generous until I looked at the shipping date! Crazy. My box definitely looks gone. Could be an interesting experiment though!
