    Alright folks, yet another shameless bump

    I have gotten a donation outside of this board.

    I did a quick count and so far from all that I have received, and those I have set aside, we are up to about 110 sticks. I'm hoping to get over 200 by the time I send this off in another week or two.

    Also, HeftySmokes has been kind enough to help me with this, he was working on getting an address or destination for these sticks, his first try didn't come up so he is exploring an different option. The one he currently working on is afghanistan, does anyone have a problem with sending them to there. Or if anyone knows of someone or others over there that would enjoy them, please forward me the information and I'll make sure they get there.

    Thanks for all that have helped with this.

    Ok, folks, sorry I have been away from the board for the last week or so, work has attempted to drive me insane.

    I travel out of town Thursday of this week, and will be home for one day on Sunday and then be out of town for the next week. I am setting a date of January 23rd to ship these out. If you'd like to donate or have pledged to do so, please attempt to get them to me by that time.

    I do have one problem that must be overcome before I can send these out.....I need somewhere to send them to. Please if ANYONE knows of troops that will enjoy these, please let me know. Without this, this attempt is pretty much useless. A couple of BOTLs here have attempted to help me with this, but haven't had something come through.

    As we sit at this moment, we have about 150 or so cigars to send, not a bad stash of sticks if you ask me.

    Anyway, thanks to all those who have help thus far, and thanks in advance to those who are about to help.

    Ok, we got got an address thanks to HeftySmokes. I am going to get these pack up today and will get them shipped out in the next few days. We have a ton of smokes, I lay them all out and get a few pics of what we got later today.

    There are a couple packages that I haven't gotten yet, if I get these after I send off the troop package, I will then set them aside and I have another destination already picked out, which some might already know about.

    Thanks to all of those who have helped.

    Hello all.
    I'd like to apologize for delaying this thing. It was my smokes the Korean was waiting on. No excuse, just got busy with other things and neglected one of my commitments. Won't happen again.
    On the bright side, it looks like my package got to the Korean on February 4 and hopefully everything is ready to go. The soldier charged with receiving the package served with my cousin in Afghanistan and recently shipped back out for Iraq. Although I've never met him, it sounds like he's a great guy and is happy to be caretaker of some cigars for his fellow soldiers.

    You're not the only one Aaron, I dropped the ball as well and will have to confine my support to sending something to defray the shipping costs. I have no excuse either and will honor my commitments more timely in the future.

    Hey folks,

    I work at a newspaper here in Chattanooga, Tn. This would make a great story for one of our reporters.

    Could somebody pass along to me some good contacts for the story??

    PM me.

    Default I suck at Life right now

    Fellas,

    Let me first off saying the following is not an excuse, and I don't want to come off as being an A$$.

    My work sucks right now. I have spent just about every weekday from Feb 6th in a $hit hole called Ardmore OK. My company has an account there and we are going through a management transition, while that transition goes on, I have to fill in, which completely is not in my list of things I wanted to do in my life.

    Ok, more to the point. The sticks are all packed up and ready to send, they are in in 18x18x18 box with packing peanuts and all. I do have a huge favor to ask from a botl here, is anyone willing to have my wife ship these to you and you ship them to an APO address. If this sounds strange or not on the up and up, here is my reason, my loving wife has agreed to help me get these off of her dining room floor, but she doesn't want to have to fill out the forms to send to an APO. If someone agrees, she said she will send them out ASAP, I will also send a MO for shipping. I haven't been her for along time, but I hope all of you will understand, again, I don't want to seem to be a flake or anything of that sort, work sort of screwed with me after the new year.

    If someone would be kind enough to do this, please PM me with your address and I'll get the wife to send them out, at the same time, I'll send a MO to you so within 2-3 days you should have both.

    Cabaiguan Juan offered to help me out on this. The smokes have been sent to him, along with some $ for shipping. Thank you so very much Cabaiguan Juan for doing this for me.

    I know due to me, this shipment didn't get out as quickly as intended, and for that I apoligize. I'll make no excuses.
