I was gifted some cigars yesterday. I was told they were very good. I don't smoke, and don't know any cigar smokers, so I'll take their word on that.

Since I have no need for them, I would like to send them to someone who might appreciate their qualities. PM me if you're interested. The only caveat is that you will need to be able to receive DHL in your locale.

On the way to you Gerardo! Enjoy

Super score on some rare Opus X. Excellent smokes and a fine gesture.

TheRolexKingofLV · 23 March 2016, 01:31 PM

Great gesture sir

kilyung · 23 March 2016, 07:10 PM

Those are some very nice sticks!

Abdullah71601 · 23 March 2016, 07:26 PM

I now need some shipping help.

DHL rejected the package back to me saying that the recipient in the US needed to be licensed to receive cigars. I see a requirement for cigarettes, but the only US restriction I see for cigars is they can't be Cuban. These are Dominican and have a California health warning label on the package, so I don't know what happened.

Shipping these shouldn't be this complicated. I shipped a Rolex to the US with less hassles.

Any suggestions?

...no idea. If it is too much of a hassle, feel free to ship to another TRFer

Floorguy · 23 March 2016, 11:35 PM

I'm in!!!

Abdullah71601 · 23 March 2016, 11:57 PM

The US shipping address seems to be the trouble.

If anyone has any experience shipping tobacco products from outside the US, to the US, I can use the hack to get past the couriers questions.

SearChart · 24 March 2016, 01:47 AM

Never shipped anything to the US, except for a postcard.
I can imagine Cuban cigars to be a problem, but these are not so I don't know what's going wrong.

DHL printed up some US customs guidance, which said cigarettes could only be shipped to a licensed person. These are cigars, which have their own rules, so I'm confused why there would be a problem

There must be a simple solution. But I've never shipped tobacco products and don't know what I need to get the courier to accept it.

subtona · 24 March 2016, 02:14 AM

Nice cigars.
Great gesture.

It sounds like a problem from where you are shipping. There have been plenty of cigars shipped into the US from abroad. I do not know what the issue could be. They seem to have been made for the US market based on the sticker on the case.

Really nice gesture, they are great cigars from a great company.

andromeda160 · 24 March 2016, 10:44 PM

Those are some really nice cigars. They have them at the pipe shop I buy my tobacco from occasionally. I haven't been able to get one yet, they sell out as soon as they come in. Let us know how they smoke Gerardo!

And great gesture Abdullah!

Abdullah71601 · 25 March 2016, 01:20 AM

I cracked the code. Part of the problem was some staff not understanding what was required. I called the customer service office and obtained the correct information.

The other part of the problem is the DHL receiving staff is required to check for the country of origin label. If they don't see a label, they are to assume it's Cuban and reject. This box doesn't have such a label on it, so I had to make one and attach it to the cigar box to tick that box for the DHL staff.

The package has been accepted and is on the way to Gerardo. PM sent with tracking number. I hope they are good when they get there.
