    Default Cigars for troops.

    Ok here's the deal guys. I am maybe in need for some cigars. My friends and I know a marine in Afghanistan. They have a smoking club over there and he is a part of it. We will be sending them some smokes but the problem is that we have no idea how many guys will be involved. Now we may be doing a thing where we buy a couple of boxes and send some full boxes over or we may be sending loose sticks. What I am doing here is gauging interest in who may be willing to send me some smokes to send or some cash depending on if we just go and buy boxes to send. Let me know guys.

    Added: Ok the group that we are sending it to is a group called the Talibanned Cigar Aficionado Club on Camp Eggers in Kabul. http://tali-bannedcigaraficionadoclub.com/ We are sending the cigars to a Marine friend of mine's buddy named Jim who is stationed on Camp Phoenix. He travels to smoke with the club.

    I can do this. Cash would work for me.

    When Kevin ran this last time, I solicited $ from my local buddies and we chipped in and got a sampler from CI, if I remember correctly.

    Will

    ETA: I would be more than happy to do this.

    I'm going to bite the bullet and make a PayPal account. PM me your PayPal info Nate so I can donate some $$$ too.

    My step son is a US Marine presently based at Camp Pendleton. He has already done a 7 month tour in Afghanistan and will be going back in Sept for his second one. I'll be sending him some cigars when he goes. I'm wondering though, is there more than one USMC base in Afghanistan? If so, which one will these donations go to?

    If Steven's going to be in the camp we're donating to that'd be real cool and I could let him know so he can take advantage of it when he's there on his tour.

    Added info to the first post regarding the club. We have a kind of point person over there who is getting us all of the info. I'll update with more as I get it.


    Edit: Added camp info to first post.

    This is awesome so far guys. This site, and I shouldn't be surprised, is simply blowing me away. Things like this are why this is my home board. The generosity and the caliber of the people here is incredible to me. We are going to make some fighting men and women very happy.
