    Thanks for soliciting feedback from us bums! First and most important, I've always been really happy with how things show up from Famous.

    I've always valued a little Boveda pack in my shipments. They're a nice touch, and with summer approaching, it can make quite a difference to the cigars in transit.

    The five finger bags would be nice as well, both those and the Bovedas could be repurposed when sending out bombs or shipping to the troops.

    Thanks again for asking!

    I've had them show up 3-4 days after shipping with the pack still cool (Wyeast activator still flat)...

    This is when it's 85*-90* in the North East. Maybe that good ole Southern heat is too much?

    They usually have the yeast and cold pack wrapped up in an insulated pack.

    Maybe. All I know is I stopped paying the extra $1 for it because they were never cold when I got them lol.

    Actually, there's one thing that would be amazing but is unfortunately unrealistic because of the cost in such volume...freezing all cigars so beetles would never be an issue.

    Well my list is REALLY long on the history of purchases from you guys and man I wouldn't spend the $$$ on the packs if I were you. Why add the expense when you would just have to pass it onto us. I think most of us would rather you guys keep doing what your doing the way your doing it. I don't really see any reason for the added expense myself but that's just me.

    To answer your original question. I think you guys are doing great! Never have I ever had a problem with a shipment from you guys. Sometimes the cigars seem like they are bouncing around in the box but they always look good when they are opened up at my pad.
    I really do like the tag alongs you all send!
    Cheers
