So I am a friend and coworker of cigargeeks.com user "Otter" and I'm a Naval Officer currently deployed to Camp Lemonnier Djibouti. Evidently you guys recently held a donation drive to send cigars out to us here in Africa with Nathan (NWB) leading the effort. All I have to say is...
HOLY EFFING COW!!!
You folks are insanely, obscenely generous! All in all there were 500+ cigars in the box and 20+ cutters! I can't even begin to express my gratitude for your generosity! We have a ton of cigar lovers out here, myself included, and this is an embarrassment of riches! It just so happens that I am also the Fun Boss for the Wardroom here (the de facto O-Club) and I have already arranged a cigar night for everyone to come out and enjoy some awesome cigars. I have also reached out to the Chief's Mess (the senior enlisted club) and 11 Degrees North (the de facto enlisted club) and will be sharing the love with them too. All with the stipulation that everyone take pictures so that I can come back and share them with everyone here.
Again, thank you more than I can express and stand by for some pictures from a bunch of grateful sailors, soldiers, marines, airmen, and coast guardsmen! In the meantime, here are a few pics to show you just how generous everyone here was!
EDIT: Here's a link to the album with pictures. I'll be posting pictures from the cigar nights soon! http://imgur.com/a/i6NPQ

It's awesome getting feedback from deployed troops. Hope you all enjoy.
Stay safe and thank you all for your service and the defense of our liberties.
I thank every one of you for your service and I am glad to hear that all ranks are getting to enjoy them, officer and enlisted. Being an old retired soldier, I know what it is like to get a care package and all of you deserve it!

Stay safe and Happy Holidays

Thanks for posting the pics. The box looked kinda beat up but the cigars look fine! Enjoy, and thanks for sharing these around camp. This is the time of the year when being deployed and away from family/significant others really sucks. Hope you guys do the best you can for the holidays, and save a good smoke for New Year's Eve!
