    Great idea Dan - I'm in. I'm not so big on our current involvement over there, but I completely support our people in the military - I know that if I was in their shoes, I'd appreciate the hell out of a attaboy and a cigar from home.

    Equality is not seeing different things equally. It's seeing different things differently.

    Ted I am with you a 100% on this totally the same feeling on our involvement but the guys who are there had little choice about it and risking their lives on the orders of others so this is the least we can do to make them feel better and remind them that people back home care about them

    I'm in.

    One suggestion/concern: The donated sticks/stuff will possibly grow into a rather large stash. It may be cost prohibitive to ship that around the Country. You know the guys here, that package could get huge.
    I would suggest that you have the contributions shipped to one location for repacking and shipping overseas.

    Just a thought.

    Good thinking Barry,

    I think at first it probably makes sense to ship everything together as those extra sticks will doubtly weigh more than the cost of shipping them seperatelly by everyone. So probably half way through once they accumulate its a good idea to ship those to me as a seperate package and I will pay for shipping on that.

    I'm in.

    BTW - who are you sending the sticks to?

    I'm probably gonna do this anyway, but how about each guy dropping sticks also right a little note? They might appreciate that as much as the sticks. Doesn't have to be anything more than a couple sentences.
    Look at that... I plumb got myself 5 raisins and 7 termites.

    Great idea about the note. I was thinking about but did not want to make it a rule, as I think I want each person to decide that for themselves: note, photo, etc what ever they want to add if they choose

    As for where the sticks are going I know someone from CP who is a stand up guy and has a whole bunch of friends also serving who like cigars, so I know they will be shared sencerely. But if you have someone in mind PM me and lets talk about it.
