Cigar shipping "Sick Period"

[Scottmi]

I do understand the concepts of humidity and stabilization (particularly with shipping wood furniture from one clime to another) and of course, with cigars, but never really considered the specific -shipping- effect on cigars. Interesting primer from Small Batch here.

Thanks for the link, but it's not surprising. It has affected pipes I've received in terms of fit due to humidity and temperature changes over distance.

I can see that, but would not have thought about it beforehand.

It happens fairly commonly to cigars but not enough to discourage us. Afterall people have no problem smoking cigars out of a freshly opened box.
