    Some kind of "cold" ship option in the summer would be nice...

    I basically avoid cigar purchases in the summer because I would rather they don't sit in hot, hot, hot shipping trucks for days at a time. The places that I order my beer brewing supplies offer this to help protect yeast.

    Really cool idea but those packs only work for like one day. By the time I get my orders the pack is warm and the yeast have been on their own for however long. Even the yeast we get overnighted for the brewery usually arrives with a warm cold pack.

    I've had them show up 3-4 days after shipping with the pack still cool (Wyeast activator still flat)...

    This is when it's 85*-90* in the North East. Maybe that good ole Southern heat is too much?

    They usually have the yeast and cold pack wrapped up in an insulated pack.

    Maybe. All I know is I stopped paying the extra $1 for it because they were never cold when I got them lol.
