I've seen the success of the wounded warrior thing and was hoping we could expand it to lawyers as well.

As we lawyers know, now that economy is "getting better," there is more money to go around and thus there have been fewer people trying to pry dollars out of others' hands through the use of lawsuits. Bankruptcy lawyers, trial lawyers, even class-action lawyers have all seen a decrease in revenue over the past year.

Unfortunately, this has caused a decrease in lawyer fees with the result that lawyers can't buy and enjoy as many cigars as they used to. I'm sadly in this boat as well.

So I'm wondering if we could get someone to organize a Cigars For Lawyers drive and start shipping cigars to needy attorneys. We could start by identifying solo- and small-firm practitioners and sending them a care package of cigars. Just to let them know that we understand their difficulties and that there are people out there who care.

If that's successful then we can expand it to biglaw associates and perhaps even partners.

Who's with me????

The average salary for a lawyer in 2014 was approximately 77K. Now if you follow a proper budget, I'm sure you could afford cigars.

Or am I missing something.

I'd be more interested in the median income rather than the mean. I don't know one attorney who makes even close to that. Plus people hate lawyers and it makes us sad.

That's why w should band together and start a cigar drive. Put a smile on the face of your local attorney!

Some Gurkhas cost hundreds to thousands of dollars a pop.

Again, because I cant honestly believe you are serious, I will preface this response with an "ok, you got me". But, in the infinitesimal small chance that you are, here is my response: Go suck a dick. There is a reason people hate lawyers. And did you somehow compare yourself to a worthwhile cause such as OpFTH? Go suck 10 dicks you begging ****.

Sue me.

I dunno. In my box at home, I prefer cello off. But when I'm unsure of past to recent exposure to other's, I'd rather cello on. Just keeps things better for everyone.
