Cigars for Troops "Operation Stogie" pass

[CgarDan]

Tommy, thanks for the info and your generousity

If you guys can give me the address of the final person via pm, I would like to donate a stick or two for our troops overseas. and just a thought, if they are in the desert, and the desert is dry, then the cigars will probably dry out pretty quickly. would it be a good idea to just send them tubos, or will a ziplock baggie sufficiently keep in the humidity?

Good question! I just got back this week from the desert and I can tell you that the temp and humidity can be on both extremes rather quickly. Usually the gars get sent in a tupperware type container, (water/air tight and durable); and the best thing I found to work were water pillows. *(donated by one of our very own here, thanks again).

The only exception is that there is no distilled water available to them so bottled water is all that can be used. I did not experience much difficulty with it, but would suggest that a small bottle from someones house with some distilled in it, could be added and appreciated.

Water Pillows can be had at most B&M's for $.50. Once activated, they're good for up to a few weeks. Small enough to travel in tupperware or ziplock.

A short time back after I joined the board, BPP posted that water pillows can be re-used. Tis' true to a point. Before I dwelved into a cabinet, I had several humidity thingamajigs in a giant tupperdor. When the air pillows dried out, I would add distilled water and alas- they would resurrect. Not to their former "billowiness": but erect. Best comparison is of the male specimen in dog years. I got 3-4 good coverage passes out of the pillows each time with a decreased efficiency with the next round. If only everything could be as easy as "just add water".

Is it too late for me to get involved? Thanks to a generous person here I and seberal people benefited from something like this. I would love to Pay it Forward as well. I need a little time to build up my collection. I will be on vacation for a few weeks but I can mail out from where I am going. So just let me know where I stand. I am up for the donation.

I can't believe I missed this thread!!!

Dan, I'll send a package your way for you to add to the final box....do you think you could post a list of the package going to the troops? You don't have to say who contributed them, but I'd love to see what is going their way.

I will probably send them out within the next week or so, if the deadline is comming up really soon though, i can get them out faster.
