Yeah but remember the part which has been mentioned that they don't carry ezra zion? or some other brands people might be interested in?
im not trying to be abrasive, and I understand that smallbatch sponsors and they're great and all or whatever, but these threads always end up with people saying the same thing like small batch is the only entity that sells cigars in the US. it's a little maniacal just saying.
as for cigar federation, the shipping is about the same as anywhere else, but I think it varies slightly depending on distance so that's probably why they need your info. when i ordered from them my shipping was 5 or 6 bucks.
