Decided at the last second to propose bringing some fresh sticks on a trip that didn't make me comfortable waiting for USPS to deliver my payment and then him get them out in time to arrive. I'm a repeat buyer and asked if I could get my check out and go ahead and ship on his end.
I've seen a post or two of him trying to track down other guys doing the same thing, but he came through. Smooth transaction and cannot wait to smoke through a bundle of his sticks fishing in Canada over the next week.
