1. No. Just bear in mind the rules here regarding the sharing of addresses.

2. Yup. The key is making sure nothing inside the box can move around at all. When they start moving around, the potential for damage goes up. Wrap each bottle individually, then place them in alternating directions across the bottom of the box, in other words, one bottle the cap points away from you, next it points towards you, then next one is away. Put the cigars in a small flat rate box and stick it inside the larger one (keeps the cigars from getting crushed). Use styrofoam blocks or better yet, more beer bottles, to wedge the Sm FLRB in place.
3. Sure. Just seal them in a ziploc bag and they will be fine for a week or two. Maybe longer depending on the time of year and what the box is exposed to.
4. Sometimes, but they often need minor modifications to make them seal well. Even the "humidor grade" cigar boxes can be hit and miss.
