For obvious reasons I have a soft spot for the troops so I'm in. Also you can count me in for a split of the shipping cost if needed just LMK what you need when the time comes and I've got ya covered.

I would like to donate some sticks and/or even money for your shipping costs. I am unable to view addresses but, I see you are in Atlanta and I work in Buckhead on a daily basis and would be happy to meet you for a handoff. Please PM me for my cell number.

Quotetoby2 - 8/8/2012 6:34 PM have you got any feedback from these? Steph and I sent out five boxes with smokes etc and we never heard peep back. just curious.
In 2010, we received a nice letter from one of the groups we bombed. They also included a flag that had been flown over their base (have the flag/specifics in a safe place). Last year, we didn't receive anything. However, I'm not too worried about it as long as we provide something for their efforts and being away during the holidays. :biggrin:

don't get me wrong i was just asking. we sent some big damn boxes full of stuff and contact info etc. we heard they may not have gotten through so we were bummed out.

i will get something over to you. my lodge is mostly military and they do love a surprise when deployed.


It can get dicey with getting packages to the right people.  Last year, we had one bounce back almost two months after I sent it.  After some recovery time in the humidor, I sent them to a different group, and I believe they received them.

I'm in. Will send stuff in October. Cigars only or cutters and lighters also?

Cutters might be ok, but I won't ship lighters due to postal regulations.  Matches will work, though, and I usually throw in a bunch with each box.

A handoff sounds good.  I live in the northeast suburbs, but I make it down to Buckhead once or twice a month.  Next time I plan on being down there, I'll shoot you a PM.

I've got a coworker that's chipping in as well.  We're gonna see if we can what we can get from the other guys around the place.
