Ok, so my buddy in Afghanistan keeps his humidor in his office which is shared with several individuals to include his boss. Several of you helped him out when I got him hooked on cigars and he has also received a few packages from OpFTH. Unfortunately, his boss, my old boss, only looks out for himself and decided to help himself to the humidor that did not belong to him and pretty much cleaned it out.

His wife contacted me through facebook yesterday asking if I would be willing to make a cigar purchase on her behalf and ship them over to him. Of course I said yes and got an idea of how many sticks she wanted to send and what her budget was. She is sending me funds to purchase some sticks for him, but what I wanted to do was hook him up with a Pelican style case that could be locked.

So, do any of you have one you would like to donate?

How much do those lockable cases cost? I'd be willing to paypal you some money toward buying one if anyone else is interested in getting involved too.

I know I can get a 40ct for $50, but I'm trying to find something like the 100ct I found in WA for $100. I may even just contact him and tell him to source a 30mm ammo can and have the welder attach a hasp that he can put a lock on.

What I should do is send him his own box of dog rockets with a note telling him to stay the hell out of other people's humidors.

If you could send me a address I could pull together a 5er for him. Will throw in a FFP, T52, and LP9 for him. Might still have a AF Anjeo. If so, I'll toss it in as well.

Gimbel, will a pelican 1500 work for what he needs? I have one, but I am able to get one online that will drop ship to him. In any case I will provide a pelican 1500 to use as along as it is acceptable. Let me know

If all they stole was some cigars I'd be happy.

When they steal my Suggestions and submit them

as their own, then I play Johnny Paycheck on their a**.

That's the case I was looking at as well. It's the closest to what I have here for when I travel.

I just heard back from him and he has already made arrangements to secure his cigars. Pretty much everything he receives over there he does share, but when one person helps themselves they get cut off.

I had a similar situation many years ago.

I solved my problem by threading a thin piece of rubber band through the center of a cigar, and leaving it among the others in my humidor.

No one stole my cigars after that.
