Thanks to the efforts of MANY on this site - we have just packed up our 12th package of 25 cigars and shipped them off to various APO addresses for enjoyment by our USA Armed Forces (All Branches). The last 2 shipments were done as part of a monthly package sent out by my daughter's Girl Scout Troop #586 !!

These cigars represent smokes sent to me to forward to Troops whom I know to be cigar smokers and young Brothers of the Leaf..I already received word that a recent West Point Graduate who is now a new 2nd Lt. deployed in Iraq distributed his packages to each person in his squad - and if they didn't smoke - they forwarded the sticks down the line --- it's a GREAT Thing !!!!!

In addition to the cigars you sent me to forward - I know that many members of this board also sent cigars directly to some of the addresses provided. Thanks to you as well.

May God Continue to Bless the USA and All Our Armed Forces !!!!!! May they be home soon and safely !!!

Did you guys see where they uncovered almost a 100 boxes of Cuban cigars in Udays "palace" and the Captain passed them out among the soldiers/marines and they were puffing away?

What a great find!

The new and Revised spelling for the Army is HOOAH !!!!!

But the sentiment is the same no matter how it is spelled - you gotta love our guys and gals over there - what a fantastic performance !!!!

My kids gor their 4H club members to donate a number of goodies (Candy,nuts,etc). Baby wipes, magazines, feminine products, beef jerkey, powder and a bunch of other items we sent out.

Before my wife sealed the box, I went to the humidor and grabbed a handful of sticks and put them in a cbid box and added to the box. Don't know what I gave but it definitely cut into my premium stock. And happily so.

We have a friend (Army Major) in Germany who will distribute the goodies on his next trip. (He has a job where he has been in and out of Iraq several times since the start of the war).

docrks,

no problem....actually it was a pleasure. Hope they enjoyed the sticks, and thanks Roman for suppling the contacts.
