I thought that I would share with you all an email between Robert Spoden from Bucanero's and me reference a few gars for our Warriors. I will be upfront and honest about his response - It Blew Me Away!!!
Hold On and get ready to see the man behind Bucanero's.
Here it is:
Robert, I have been receiving and distributing cigars to the deploying soldiers from the 1st Armor Division 2nd Brigade. Recently received a box of La Gloria Cubana's from Ernesto himself and a signed picture to our troops. Today, I received two boxes of Puro Indios along with a signed picture from Rolando Reyes. In addition, Cbid/CI has donated a box of gars in support of our Warriors as well.
I was wondering if the World Famous Buccaneers would like to make a small donation to our deploying Warriors. In return, I will provide pics of our Warriors receiving the smokes.
Best Regards,
B
Robert's Response:
Billy,
I need to know what address to send a couple boxes to.
Full Address, ph#, Proper name..etc...
Years ago I was drafted into the army during the Viet Nam war. As a young man of 19 years old I never knew what life had in store for me. When I went overseas and left behind America I felt like my whole world was
changing so fast and questioned would I ever see my Family and friends, dog and my girl friend again.
Then the mail started arriving each week. Mail call was so special. It was my bridge back home. But only a few people wrote to me on a weekly basis. I often wondered way some of my friends never took the time to drop me a line. It pi$$ed me off!
When I got back home I realized that everyone was so damn caught up in their lives that they forgot what a little compassion will do. You only get one chance in
life to reach out and tell someone you care. After thoughts don't cut it!
Now I'm 54 years old and these young guys must be going through the same cycle of thought. It's about caring and its about getting off your a$$ and doing what is right.
Thanking these warriors who are putting their lives on the line for our freedom is such a simple gesture. But one that is only so important.
Lets get these warriors some Bucanero's. Let them have a moment out there in that desert..savoring a gift..that builds a little bridge back home in their
minds...
God bless them all!

Every time I read his response I get those goose bumps...Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!
