Hopefully Australian Customs won't spot them.

I need a bigger humidor. I thought I got one not long ago but the seller was a dud and sold something he couldn't deliver. I got my money back through Paypal so I started looking again. I came across a nice looking red cherry wood humidor on ebay US.

A plain exterior but in quite good used condition.

Then I looked at the last photo.

The humidor comes with 30 premium cigars. In Australia a decent cigar from Dominican Republic or Hondura are a minimum of $20 each.
So for $65 plus $67 postage. I've got a nice humidor and $600 - $900 worth of cigars.

Just don't tell Customs

i've smoked a few of those. not bad.

if you don't have a secondary digital hygrometer, make sure you calibrate that one when you get it.

 

[johnmrson]

I do indeed have a digital hygrometer.

 

[bradyarz]

oh, and to ensure i keep quiet and don't tell customs to make sure those cigars are safe for smoking, you may have to send me a few samples

I hate to tell you this,but I am an Australian Customs officer. You silly boy.

Some how many finest cubans is it worth to keep our mouths closed?

Seriously - you MUST let us know what happens

I think we know how it will go, John's new avatar is sans cigar.

Congratulations on a great deal sir! Let us know how it works out.

Well Customs did spot the cigars

I got a bill in the mail today for $168 Duty on 390grams of cigars.

Oh well, it still makes it a good deal. Not as good as it might have been but cigars are quite expensive in Australia so I'll pay the Duty and get them delivered.

Maybe the sale of a #15 to fund the bill

Render unto Caesar......


All is well that ends well.

Another expensive week. I bought the Robert Williams straight on BST this morning so I didn't really want an unexpected bill but hey, that's life.

Your allowance for fun stuff sure is impressive

Well, despite the expenses incurred this week, I think you are ahead of the game. Enjoy your nice cigars.
