A sad tale of woe ordering from Esterval's... US customs rejected the package and sent it back to them. Decided not to try again so after return shipping charges and restocking fee, I'm out $105 and no HU in my cellar. ![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Scott, that’s a sad tale for sure. Haven’t ordered from them for about 3 years now. Was planning on grabbing some things in the Fall. Hopefully this was just a one off situation.A sad tale of woe ordering from Esterval's... US customs rejected the package and sent it back to them.

@bluegrassbrian Came into US at Cincinnati, OH Hub. Waited there. No contact to me. DHL updates were as follows (a day or so between each message):I haven't tried to reorder since this happened to me last month.
Couple questions..
What city did it land in, here?
Did DHL send you an email regarding the specifics/ or ask you for further information as if you're a wholesale importer?

That's HU Flanagan.Nice order! What’s the top tobacco you got? It’s a little hard to read.
As Bluegrass pointed out, it is indeed Flanagan. You'll have to forgive my photography skills, I'm useless at taking pics.Nice order! What’s the top tobacco you got? It’s a little hard to read.
