8th Annual Cigars for Troops Drive
It's that time of year again! Even though the holiday season is a couple months away, starting early will give everyone who wants to participate time to send a care package. Here are the previous years' threads:
2010 - http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=5894.0
2011 - http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=9907.0

Historic Donations
2010 - 525 Cigars
2011 - 587 Cigars
2012 - 676 Cigars
2013 - 1,343 Cigars
2014 - 1,617 Cigars
2015 - 1,619 Cigars
The basic rules:
*The cutoff will be October 31st for getting packages/donations in the mail to me. This will allow me enough time to get them shipped and the soldiers receive them before the holidays.
*This is open to anyone, whether you are a vet or newbie. The more the merrier! This is your chance to get that coveted "Troop Supporter" badge.
*Send as many cigars as you would like. Even a fiver will make a difference. Cutters and/or matches would also be appreciated, as well as sealed pipe tobacco, pipes, pipe cleaners, etc. Please, no lighters – I'm trying to avoid any problems with USPS.
*Cigars with cellophane travel better. However, if you have cigars without cellophane, feel free to send them. Any donations of 5/6 finger bags is also appreciated.
*Packages can be drop shipped to me from vendors. Members have done this in years past with success.
*Please PM me for my mailing address and/or if you send a package. I'd like to avoid boxes sitting on my doorstep in case I'm traveling.
*I will keep a running list of those that have expressed interest along with if I received the package. If you commit to donating early on and decide it can't be done, no harm, no foul.
*Paul (SenorPablo) has generously offered to cover all shipping costs. Thanks Paul!
Last year, I created a virtual humidor with all the cigars. Depending on the response, I might do that again this year. For those of you who keep track of your cigars in the virtual humidor or excel, providing a list of the donated cigars when you send them helps a LOT in this effort.
One other note: if you know of a group deployed oversees, especially in an area of conflict, please nominate them by sending me a PM. We typically send 3-4 packages, so I'd like to spread the wealth.
As always, feel free to post any questions!
:usa: :thanx:
Thanks Nathan for organizing again, and thanks to Paul for covering shipping
I'll definitely be sending some your way
Excellent! Another excuse to do some shopping.

Hey all - I'm relatively new here but would love to support this as well. Lee
Please add me to the list.
Thanks!
Good grief, they're comin' outta the woodwork! :biggrin:
Nathan, if you don't mind, I've got a crazy busy Sept/Oct, and would just as soon send mine off to you in the next couple of days.
I think its time to go thru the humidors and start picking some sticks out.

A couple of people have asked if they can go ahead and send in their donations. I'm as prepared as I can be, so feel free to send them in now. As a matter of fact, I'd prefer to get them sooner rather than closer to the deadline so I can get them photographed, logged-in, and rested before their trip overseas.
hey nwb, when is the deadline?
I would like to get involved in this - but if possible would probably place an order online that would be shipped directly to you?

Then as long as i am able to ship to him rather than Stateside>Scotland>Stateside then I would like to be counted in!
I think people have done that in the past. He'll reply at some point or pm him for his address.
Quality move on your part!

The deadline is 10/31 and you can drop ship them directly to me. When you are ready to place the order, send me a PM and I'll provide the address.
will look to pull an order together when I get paid at the end iof September. Go & scour Cigarplace just now & see what delights I would like to send! :biggrin:
decided that I would just sort an order out for this just now rather than waiting till next payday!
Nathan - stupidly chose check/money order rather than paypal, so just waiting on a paypal invoice being sent to me to pay - once its all done & I have a tracking number I will let you know.
I opted for USPS priority mail as the shipping choice - not sure if you know what the timescales are for their expected arrival.
Thanks again for doing this, as I mentioned my Uncle was in the British Army & we don't have anything cigar related like this, so i love that I can contribute on this!
Bertf86
The first donations are in and we are off to a great start. Thank you biggsy16, 05Venturer, and Cfickter!

The trip times for USPS are typically fairly quick, and since I live near a postal hub, I get packages without them sitting in a warehouse too long.
Thank you for donating! Once you have that tracking number, post it here or send me a PM.

Sounds good - thanks Chuck!
Met with Brad (Vroomp) yesterday and he handed off his donation. In addition, jagfandaddy's package arrived. Thanks to you both!
Glad to help...look forward to next year! May try to get more before the deadline.
We are already at 102 cigars - great start!

These arrived yesterday - thank you mrladams615 and bmac7754!!
Glad they made it.....thank you for doing this important work!!!
I'll add some as well via headfirst.. if you will have me that is.
I'm new (literally just signed up) - but thank you for doing this. My son is deployed with Marines 2/7 in ... well ... I guess we're not supposed to know. But it's hot and dry and the only things he asked for when he last called was wet wipes and more cigars.
He'll rotate out before this package goes out but it makes me happy to see people thinking of them.
Please count me in.

That's cool. I just got worried for a sec.
The last 5 donations have arrived. I'll get them logged in the virtual humidor and get pictures posted in the next few days.
That's great! What's our total!
Thank you Nathan for organizing

I won't know until I get them logged into the virtual humidor. These last 5 donations were, let's say, generous.

For the sake of inventory, Tim (my coworker) thinks the loose unbanded robustos he sent are Cigar Hut Bundles Sumatrans and the unbroken bundle are Cigar Hut Connecticuts. I think everything else is identifiable. Sorry, I should have made a list.

No worries about the list, but thanks for clarifying on the unbanded smokes.
The final donations came in earlier this week, and I was floored. Thanks to gitfiddl, Kman, Longhorn, timpellis, and wescat!!!
A BIG thank you to the following individuals for donating this year. I really appreciate everyone's generosity, and I know the troops will as well!
