Wrong choice. Doing an inventory would cause CI to miss those cigars. They were shipped to the recipient in error and still belong to CI. The recipient does not have the legal or moral right to determine what happens to them. The only proper choice is to request a call tag to return them to CI.

I would notify them immediately and send them back. Character is tested and refined in small matters such as this, so that it may be correctly displayed when more serious situations arise.

You have waited long enough!
Of course she called CI immediately and they are sending the postage for her to send them back!!!:tu
But we had to take a picture of the CI Bomb before we sent them back
Way to go. I knew you guys would do the right thing. :tu:2

That's a lifetime supply! With that foil bag, they would probably stay fresh for a lifetime! Backwoods are the Twinkies of the cigar world as far as longevity is concerned.
Anyways, good karma for sending them back. Sadly, many aren't that honest anymore.
This has been an interesting thread.
When I first opened it and read the post, I selected the first choice offered without reading the rest because there's really only one right answer. I also knew the right thing was being done LONG before you told us in the thread.
Had you included a choice for - "Get them all out and take a once in a lifetime shot of me drowning in Backwoods cigars while waiting for the shipping label to arrive" I would have wanted to switch my vote though.
Whether or not it's legal to keep them would have been irrelevant. There are a lot of things that are technically legal in this world that are just not the right thing to do. The law, while it's main goal seems to be to arrive at what's reasonable and fair for all parties involved, isn't perfect.

Character should be defined as doing the right thing even when you don't have to do anything. And in my opinion its easy to have character when the choices are easy, how many people are lusting for ownership of 20 boxes of backwoods? But I'd love to be a fly on the wall and see how many people really own up to it when it was an erronous shipment of "insert_favorite_stick_name" you know?
I would hope you would see the same reaction/results.
