First, no one wants sources to succeed any more than I do. After one faux pas with P&C I set up a different account and have had no issues until today.
Second, the fact that my order took longer because UPS dumped it to USPS does come into play here. I am not whining about time to get here.
The issue: The wife brought the box in this morning. When I was able to get out to get the box the bottom smelled of mold. It is barely possible, but possible, that the mold happened during wet transit, but the box was not wet when received. IMO it had to have mold issues at point of origin. Fortunately, all my tobacco seems fine, but traveling for a week in a moldy box, the precious leaf just "got lucky".
I am not going to stop ordering from P&C over this. It is actually the reason I try to be amenable to all retailers in this forum. Having one less source this month leads to one less source down the road, etc.
If this sounds whiny, it certainly is not meant to be.
