Of course I'm in.

Last year's total was quite an impressive number and it was great to be part of that effort.

Thanks for running this Nathan, can't wait to see the great big pile of cigars raised for the 2014 edition.

I'm in.  Missed last year, but you all did just fine without me.  That was a haul.
I'm right 98% of the time.  Who cares about the other 3%?

6th Annual Cigars for Troops Drive

It's that time of year again! Even though the holiday season is a few 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
2012 - http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=15038.0
2013 - http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=25603.0

Historic Donations
2010 - 525 Cigars
2011 - 587 Cigars
2012 - 676 Cigars
2013 - 1,343 Cigars

The basic rules:
*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. 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 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.

*No donations for shipping costs are needed: Paul (SenorPablo) has graciously offered to cover these expenses out of advertising revenue from the site.  Thanks Paul!

*The cutoff will be October 31st for getting packages/donations in the mail to me – my address is in my profile. This will allow me enough time to get them shipped and the soldiers receive them before the holidays.
 
Last year, I created a virtual humidor with all the cigars. Depending on the response, I might do that again this year.

As always, feel free to post any questions!
