“Do you believe medications were being shipped into the country in orders less than $800? “

Yes, very commonly. People order drugs from India for personal use, Ivermectin, Blood pressure, etc. They rarely order more that 800 bucks per order. They pay FAR less than the price gouging US Pharma companies.

Ok noted, Armstrong.... But this article seems purely factual. IS there anything in it you dispute?

I have a lifetime supply already

Lifetime? Are you 90 years old and don’t have long left? Or can cigars be stored FAR longer than I ever imagined?

“the article says “parcels”.”

Article: “suspension on all postal shipments”

“But this article seems purely factual. IS there anything in it you dispute?”

Already posted to you.

Lucky me, I’m mostly retired. ;-D

Article says “Processing delays and increased costs were incurred immediately, but now, a growing number of nations have decided to simply discontinue parcel service.”

So the question remains, is ALL mail with those countries suspended? Or just parcels? Do regular letters still go through?

It varies by type of Cuban cigar—but many are good to go for a couple of decades at least.

Good discussion here:

The oldest I have in stock are fifteen years old.

Those remain at their peak.

Footnote: Some quality non Cubans have very long life spans as well.

I have part of a cabinet (box of fifty cigars) of Illusiones that have a box date on them—2007.

I smoked one the other day and they seem to be continuing to get better.

Do you believe medications were being shipped into the country in orders less than $800?

What if I told you I was actually in transportation and that lots of drugs DO come in independent shipments worth less than $800. The fact that nearly 100% of our drugs aren't manufactured in the US should be where your concern lies.
