Hi All,
Just wondering how you guys are sending your cigars around the country?
More so relating to singles or a couple of smokes as opposed to boxes.
I've just sent an 8" x 4" Jiffy with a bit of bubble wrap in there with a single cigar inside two zip lock bags. This cost ?4.30 1st class, signed for.
It's a 50RG stick, and with the jiffy and a bit of padding, this made it too thick to go as a letter even though it only weighed 53grams, so it's now classed as a parcel.
I think it would be worthwhile if we can all put some ideas in to get the costs down, and come up with a 'standard' package we can all use for sending smokes. I've seen various posts about 'tubes' etc but the sizes of these means they're still classed as parcels.
We need something that can take a 50RG smoke which does not require additional protection which keeps the thickness of the package below 25mm (1" for the ol folks! ) for it to be classed as a large letter.
IMO I'm not too concerned about RH levels being maticulously maintained while sending a smoke. A day or 2 in a sealed package isn't going to do it any harm as it's going to end up straight back in the Humi at the other end.
I'm going to be having a think about it so if anyone whats to chip in with ideas, shout away!
