As one that enjoys fine cigars as well as kilts, I get invloved in a critter called a "boxpass" from time to time. Works like this...one cigar lover takes 20-30 different, fine cigars and mails them to another cigar lover. He will take several and replace them with cigars of equal or greater value and pass them on once again. This usually happens from 8-12 times before the box returns to the guy that started it with a completely different selection of cigars. These cigars will vary in value from a couple of hundred to over a thousand dollars for the box so yes it is a shipment of at least equal worth. Now to my point...

USPS Priority Mail is the only way we ship. It is faster than or as fast as UPS and FedEx as a general rule. This is especially important along with the fact that the package remains in a more temperature controled environment since cigars are prone to ruin if not stored properly. It can be tracked and it never gets left out on the porch since it requires a signature. Cost is based on weight and isn't any worse than UPS or FedEx as I have noticed.

Might be something to look into if you are not satisfied with your current service.
