has to do with the local wages of the employess

wife sent me a envelope fed-ex to Alaska from philippines for 30 bucks,,i opened it ,signed a piece of paper and sealed it back up and it cost me 80 bucks to send it back :O

You really think so ? ...I don't think so because it is still Canada Post or USPS that does the final leg of the delivery to your home address, the same goes for the couriers like DHL, Fedex, UPS etc !

well canada postal doesn't pay any where near the wages that usps does

usps has the best dam retirement plan of any gooberment employee

USPS delivers on Saturdays, Canada Post doesn't plus their pay ain't too shabby too at $28-$35/hour for the mailman, pension and all major holidays like the banks, I mean they even got Good Friday and Easter Monday off ...talk about being spoiled rotten !

The "Hangsen Cigar" flavor is the weakest flavor from this company I've ever tried. I would not recommend it. Follow JD1 advice.
Now, the closest I've found so far to a cured cigar that could be also cuban is " tobacco Absolute Cuban Cigar", by Inawera:

Tobacco Absolute Cuban Cigar WG-INW - Bull City Vapor

I am about to place an order for some Inawera cigar flavors, they have so many cigar flavors which one is good or close to a Cuban ?
I read somewhere that tobacco Absolute Cuban Cigar is an additive to Cuba Cigar to make it taste more ashy and cig like, can it be used as the sole flavor ?
I am itching to crack open my humidor now that the weather is warmer out ...LoL

Which one(s) should I order ...decisions, decisions ?

tobacco Absolute Cuban Cigar
Cuba Cigar
Old Havana
Classic Cigar

And usually the most unproductive.... I feel like pulling my hair out each time I watch those clerks work behind the counter. It's enough to make any Democrat go Republican

Does anyone know where I can get Hangsen concentrates at a good price ?, I don't care where they are located just that their shipping rates are fair.
I tried buyhangsen.com, but these clowns want $21usd to ship two little bottles which I find is ridiculous ! :mad:
I am looking to get a 30ml bottle of their Cuba and Turkish Tobacco concentrates.

I found these sources:
Hangsen (3) - Ezigcan - Cuban and Turkish look to be in stock

and
Tobacco - only Turkish here but maybe they can get you Cuban?

also, you might check with RTS vapes, they ship int'l so maybe can help you;
http://www.rtsvapes.com/Tobacco_Flavors_s/216.htm - Turkish here



hope this is helpful!

TA Cuban Cigar. I use it standalone. After this one, Garuda Tobacco absolute. All the others are good but with spice notes, and Cuban Cigar (no tthe TA one,Tino De Milano's) tastes way to chemical to me (it is just my opinion). Garuda is an strong tobacco on the dry side, maybe Cuban TA is a bit sweet, but if you combine them both you can obtain exactly what you want. These are real tobaccos, Garuda is more ashy than cuban TA. I repeat, I use TA Cuban as standalone, Garuda is excellent as standalone too but better to use as a base or to add ashy note if you don't have DNB. These are the Inawera masterpieces in my opinion. Virginia TA is good too but it is not similar to Cuban cigars. I don't like Old Havana at all (but if you enjoy strange flavors that are not TOBACCO, then you may enjoy it, same as Taboo and Smoke and Prunes.)

thanks denali, I'll give them another few days but by then I'll be up against the dispute deadline and I'll have to act. I really hope I'm an isolated case and I'll have something in my mailbox in a day or two. I'm not sure about others ordering but I received most all of the tobaccos I ordered, but almost none of the fruity stuff - and half of those were readymix to use as tobacco mixers.

ok, just to bring anyone who's interested up to speed, on April 1 a dispute was filed with CC company for incomplete shipment value of the missing flavors less 10% coupon used at purchase 30 days prior. Also a complaint with Paypal. Like magic, hours later, I received an email from Hangsen - the status of my order has been changed - to refunded. On April 2, I contacted Yotpo to update my review of BH. On April 3, Paypal emailed me to let me know they were still working on resolution. On the 8th, Yotpo review was edited. On April 9, Paypal updated/confirmed I had requested a partial chargeback thru my CC. On the 12th I contacted my CC company to ask if a refund had cleared my account and was told the only action was CC charge back of the original disputed amount. So, it's been a hassle, and if I end up with a complete refund I will be appreciative because it's more than I've asked for, I'm happy with the charge-back amount because that is fair, but I'd much rather have just received my darn fruits.

I've learned my lesson. I will never stray from tobaccos and menthols again. hahaha

Would I place another order with buyhangsen? yes. as long as 1) I only order a dozen or so items that can fit in one small envelope within 10 minutes or less and 2) that can be processed with a credit card thru the extra layer of paypal, and 3) going into it knowing that the only people that Hangsen responds to is Paypal and Visa. Seriously, who doesn't even respond to their independent reviewer ?

It was very easy working with Yotpo, as always, and of course my CC people to resolve the issue. Paypal, on the other hand, after an initial very swift action, turned into the odd man out, swimming a little behind the current, but it sure is nice to have an "iron fist'' sotospeak, for those rare times when one has exhausted all means of getting a retailer's attention.\\

So much for the soap-opera-of-the-week. Thanks for listening and many, many, many thanks to those who pm'd me to try to help, I appreciate you guys and gals so much!. Back to mixing. I'm thru the D's and on the E's :)
