I just sent a box that included cutters and socks so Beth should have enough for this shipment.

Greetings fellow Cigar Enthusiasts,

My Infantry Company is here in Afghanistan and we hold a ‘family night’ event on Sundays as we sit around and smoke cigars. We spend this time dedicated to decompressing and not focusing on the war right outside our COP (Combat Out Post). I don’t know how active this thread is, but I wanted to reach out and see if I could drum up some packages for my Paratroopers. My church back home sent us plenty of baby wipes and snacks, but won’t send tobacco products. I was curious if anyone could please donate some cigars and Copenhagen. We are NOT picking as any support is awesome.


Our dates are sensitive information for re-deployment, but we have more time. You can PM me if you have questions. Once again, thanks for your thoughts and prayers and may God continue to Bless American and our Troops.

To anyone who is sending a package directly to our Troops, you will need the USPS Customs form, found online, and the USPS customs envelope, available at the USPS counter. Also, please review the USPS rules around what can and cannot be sent, based on Country. In addition to the usual USPS prohibitions, US Troops in the middle ease are not allowed to receive any pork products, alcohol or home-made food. All of those will cause the package be returned to you, usually in a condition so that nothing is salvageable. Sending cigars is no problems, but lighters won't get through (sometimes they even refuse empty lighters), and you'll get the package back; matches are okay.

Thanks to everyone who "sock bombed me", as well as sending cigars and jelly jars. You all are the absolute best! Packages go out every couple of weeks, and are greatly appreciated by our troops. Thanks! -B

Thanks @USNGunner and @Shovelgrrrl for the cigars, cigarettes, socks, razors, and all the other goodies. I took my address down from my post, but it’s still up on other posts I think. We feel loved and appreciated by your care packages. We are happy to serve and defend our great nation. We also appreciate the thoughts and prayers for our safety. God bless y’all. Rangers Lead the Way squids. Lol. Dopes on ropes (Classic) never gets old Vince. 🇨🇮

B,
We got your package! Thank you so much! That was a lot of cigars and dip. Pretty sweet how you're able to do that.
Thank you B! Blessed to have you as a supporter of our division. USS Boxer thanks you!
I think I'm off to smoke a cigar? Hahaha. If the schedule doesn’t change, were a few days away from just 100 days left!
Your friend,
Victor

Hello! Hope you had a good break. So far our return time is still mid-December.
Only changes are that we were supposed to pull into land in a week and another visit 3 weeks later..
But that's cancelled because we got prolonged in our current location.
So now we won't be pulling into land for another almost 50 days.
It sucks but it is what it is.
Same address as before. That will never change while I'm onboard the XXXXX.
Thank you for looking out for us. You are very much appreciated.

Good evening Beth!

I am only saying this because it is already late out here in lovely Kuwait. I would like to send a big thank you for the package that you sent! That definitely brightened up my day! I just can’t believe that someone as kind as you as well as your organization would be so thoughtful to send packages to those of us that are serving overseas. May god bless you and the OPFTH organization. Thanks again! Sgt. Jesse Salamanca

All: I received a HUGE donation of cigars for the Troops, but am in desperate need of humi-pillows and cutters. I bought all I can afford, but still need more. Thanks! -B

OK. I have some cutters and boveda packs on the way. I will send them and some smokes on delivery. How are you doing on socks Beth?
