Once you have obtained an Authorization Number, you should mark it clearly on the package next to the address label.

***FRESHNESS GUARANTEE***

We take quality control very seriously. All the cigars we ship are shipped either in sealed boxes or, in case of single sticks or 5-packs, in properly sealed bags. Most cigars in our samplers are super-premium cigars and we do everything to guarantee freshness upon arrival.
All CIGAR REFUGE orders are shipped from our state-of-the-art climate controlled warehouse in Madrid.
And all the cigars are hermetically packed in humidity sealed-in zip-loc with patented WATER-PILLOW packets inside the package to guarantee freshness.
With that said please let me add that shipping individual cigars to the pacific north-west by GROUND service is not recommended, especially in the summer By exposing the cigars to the hot conditions in regular postal service or courier trucks we sacrifice all of the benefits described above.
We strongly recommend to purchase the cigars in the ORIGINAL box that was packed and sealed at the factory, and ship cross country by AIR not by ground.
Depending on the regional supplier of the box you’ve received, you may not have the serial numbers provided.
Samplers – In samplers that include cigars from different brands we reserve the right to replace a specific cigar with equal or higher value substitute.
