Companies that deliver to Canada

[mash]

Whether you get hit or not is purely luck of the draw, no matter who is shipping to you. Also, the amount seems completely random, and often bears no relation to the value of the cigars.

Ain't that the truth Y'know I vaguely remember something about a "free-trade" agreement...could be my old timers disease kicking in though

Out of all these companies that ship to Canada, can anyone recommend a decent sampler from one of the sites? I've only ever smoked Montes and RyJ's and would like to branch out a little.

Thanks in advance.

if u want to sample other stuff get involved in some trading....the NST or the Canadian Trade

other than that holts usually has a bunch of good samplers

I would get involved with trading... but I only have 2 sticks left. Hense, wanting to know where to stock up and with what .

I just received one of those sweet $25 Savoy humis from Holts with no problems. Don't know what the deal is with smokes, though.

Something really interesting happened today...

I got a bill in the mail from FedEx for them to collect duties from a delivery I had accepted back on October 26th from the Cigar Cellar. It turns out that if you receive a package from FedEx and it was shipped Ground (as opposed to Express), FedEx will pay the duties on your behalf without telling you and then bill you after the fact.

If the package is sent by Express they'll let you know at the door if there are any charges, thus giving you the choice.

I had to pay the amount ($35) and there was no appealing the charge.

Lesson here I guess is to ensure your sender uses USPS. From what I hear UPS charges insane brokerage fees so they're out and now I know that Fed Ex will take advantage of you as well.

Thought my Canadian brothers and sisters would want to know.

Thanks for the info. You're lucky it was only $35. Agree that UPS is ridiculous, I'd advise USPS whenever you get the chance.
