The thing that pissed me off was this post because it was totally uncalled for. Ken, I apologize for flaming you .... I was so pissed that it set me off the deep end and I wasn't seeing clearly.

There are a couple of guys that have sent me cigars, and a couple I've done trades with .... which is why I posted about the address change. The post office at the previous base has shut down, and they don't do "change of address" forms out here like in the States. Any misrouted mail goes all the way back down to Kuwait before being resent which means being in a connex for up to a month and ruining anything sent.

As for the "Cigar Night" project I made it clear I don't want anyone to send me cigars for it .... I just wanted information. Someone either doesn't understand that, or can't separate between me personally and me trying to do something good here for the troops.

So how about this .... to anyone wanting to send me cigars, I appreciate it but please don't. I know there is one guy in particular that has PM'ed me, and I'll send him a note not to send it now. I don't want anyone to think that I'm hustling the members for free cigars for myself. From now on I'll stick with trades because I plan on being here in Iraq for a while, and at least a year or two in Afghanistan.
