Default Re: Fresh Rolled Cigars?

IMHO, "fresh rolled" in the parlance of most US catalogs means absolutely nothing. It is merely a marketing gimmick, like any of the other descriptive terms they use loosely.

Consider that it may take 30 days or more after a cigar is rolled on the table until the entire order is ready to ship to the US warehouse. Shipping time and customs clearance may take another 30 days or more. Catalog printing lead time of 30 more days(probably more) and then processing and shipment of your order. Under ideal circumstances a "fresh rolled" cigar is at least 100 days or more off the table. And that is assuming that you receive the stock last into the warehouse. Most companies ship first in, first out, so you would be receiving stock from their previous shipment.

Unless you saw it come off the rollers table, good luck with "fresh rolled"
