07/24/2018-I am running a series of cigar auctions for the sole benefit of OpFth.
http://www.cigarbid.com/Forum/c/posts/657365/12th-Annual-4th-of-July-OpFTH-CAT-Challange-2018-COMPLETE-PRIZES-DRAWN A big thanks to ypetryna for his help to OpFth. I hope this was OK.
As many of y'all know Operation From the Heart is a nonprofit organization that sends care packages to our soldiers serving abroad. OpFTH is 100% donation driven, when the donations stop Bill and the other agents fund our shipping costs out of their own pockets.
All monetary donations go to the Operation from The Heart shipping fund!
Here are the "General" rules:
I will be listing a series of rare and hard to get cigars in various combinations starting now and running until I choose to stop which will be based on interest.
The auctions will run from Wednesday 12 midnight until the following Tuesday at 11:59pm. The last bid posted to the forum with an 11:59pm time wins.
The bids will include cash and/or cigar(long filler) minimum amounts and I used rarity and MSRP as best as I could find to establish the required minimum bids with the required cigars being the premium. If you think that the required bid is too high, please do not bid. I am not trying to give away cigars, I am trying to help OpFth out.
Once you have met the minimum required bid, your higher bid amount may include either cash and/or cigars.
A winning bid should be settled within one week and when smitty confirms receipt of monetary and/or cigars, I will send out your winning items. All winnings will be sent via USPS promptly with the winner providing their personal email address to me VIA PM so that I can track the package.
You may post the PayPal confirmation number for the monetary bid on this thread. If you use a check or money order the verification will take longer.
You may pay for your bids by personal, certified check, or money order.(Send to schmitty but make them out OPERATION FROM THE HEART or OPFTH (not smitty).

Each box cost roughly $15 to ship.
Now just a few bits of FYI
OpFTH is a 501(c) Non-profit
None of the Agents or Directors take a salary, we are 100% volunteer
The main office (smitty22 in Roseville MI) spends roughly $500 a month in shipping give or take.
close to 80% of OpFTH's shipping funds come from the fine B/SOTL here on CBid
The annual 4th of July C-A-T accounts for roughly 60% of the Annual funds used each year
Right now There is very little funds in the OpFTH account, which means smitty self funds shipping cost until more funds come in.
As long as there are Soldiers fighting abroad OpFTH will continue to send packages
.
And as always I extend my, Bill and the rest of the OpFTH family's MANY THANKS to ALL that continue to donate and allow us to keep sending as many packages as possible to those Soldiers that are risking their lives for our better good.
