Adopt Army Newbee headed to Baghdad

[Army Tommy]

I am an eighteen year Army guy who will be heading to Baghdad in January 07. I do enjoy a good cigar but am by no means an expert. As a matter of fact, I am not even a novice. Every time I leave my family for an extended amount of time, I smoke a cigar when I arrive where I am going and one when I leave. I usually go to a cigar shop and ask the fella working there for advise. I do not own a humidor so I ask for something that will travel well and stay relatively fresh. This is my first and only deployment to Baghdad, I will retire upon my return.
I am looking to see if anyone would like to donate to the cause. My plan is to smoke a cigar upon arrival in Kuwait (where you stop for integration training prior to going to Iraq). Then smoking a cigar upon arrival in Baghdad. I will then smoke one cigar a month or week (depending upon responses).
If you would like to have one of your favorites smoked in Baghdad, I would be more than glad to help facilitate this. After smoking your fav, I would send you an email, let you know what was going on in my AO (unclassified version) and let you know how the experience was.
If there are any takers, let me know. I don't have the money to finance my idea and would be totally dependent on volunteers. Also, if I am violating any cigar etiquette or any rules of this site, please let me know and I will cease.

Well, it is normally in poor form to make your first post attempting to get free cigars. Although, as a Canadian I would like to thank you for your service.

I see it as a neat idea, but your first post is not an appropriate time to ask or suggest it. A lot of us are already involved in sending cigars to the troops overseas.

Sorry if I came off over eager or greedy. I am not only a novice at cigars, I am also a novice at negotiating this site or a forum in general. This is my first. I would like to open this up for discussion or suggestions. I am sure that while I am overseas, my job will allow for ample time to check this site or to read and answer emails. Thank you again for your input and suggestion.

No worries. You seem genuine enough about it. Just stick around and see what some other (more experienced) members have to say.

I might be interested if I were sending a cigar to an APO (or whatever the military uses for oversea addresses) address. However, if this is to be mailed to Tuscon, or Tallahasee, or Topeka or some such bullshit...I don't think so.
Also, if you're 18, how many extended absences from your family have you been on to do your ritual smoke?
One more thing, if you're 18, and you're heading to Iraq, how do you plan on retiring when you return? I'm not trying to bust your balls, but how long do you think you'll be over there, and how long is your enlistment?
Again, I'm not trying to be a prick; if you're legit, I say thank you for serving. But if you're some kind of asshat-piece-of-shit-fuckwad-cumguzzling-cigar mooch who is using a bullshit story to score cigars, I hope someone shoves a barber pole straight up your ass (and I'm not talking about a cigar).
