Cigars International

I just bought Decatur Pipe Wax through Amazon 2 weeks ago.
Cigars International fulfilled the order and shipped it.
No ID requested through Amazon. Same price at both sites.
No shipping fees either using Amazon....


Hmmm... I know where I would order it if I were you...
BTW I like the product.

Amazon likely knows more about you than Cigars International could ever hope for. :)

It will take less time to provide an image of your ID than it will to argue or complain about it. Irritating perhaps but pragmatically, why bother? I'd prefer to spend my time doing something I enjoy than arguing over some mundane bullshit.
I’ve read some of your takes on various threads and they always lead back to ‘my time is worth more’ while I appreciate not wanting to argue bullshit and mundane , just realize every time you or anyone has that attitude and approach you’re surrendering a portion of your allotted freedom

I think I understand what you're trying to say there.
But does it really apply when dealing with entities in the free market?
He's not saying to succumb to the overlords of politics that want to remove our rights to a purchase.

First, they don't "always" lead back to that. But often enough. I'm 68 years old and have become quite pragmatic in life. There was a time I'd fight very hard for Principles. I've learned to pick my battles much better. There's no hill I want to die on. Me arguing with some clerk at a tobacco vender over the freedom to buy pipe wax without supplying an ID isn't going to change anything. The clerk has no authority to change anything and likely doesn't give a shit about my feelings for freedom. So I can take a minute to scan my driver's license, send it and then receive my pipe wax or I can argue for 10 to 15 minutes and still end up scanning my driver's license and sending it if I want the pipe wax.

The former spells intelligence, at least to me. The latter spells dumb ass, at least to me. YMMV.

How does that work? Using a credit card won't because Authorized users can us the same card #.

Maybe his will too.
And, free delivery with Amazon Prime. I am always for saving a few buck$

Well folks, I opened my email today to find out "your order is on the way" from Cigars International.

Never mind that the prior email I received stated my order would be cancelled if I did not respond within five days. Twelve days later my order is on the way.

Looks like I'm going to have Rennisance wax and Decatur Pipe wax to enjoy this holliday season.
