out of my most recent smokes, id say i really like the CAO Amazon Basil. i tend towards cigars with a bit tighter draw and a sweet finish.  smoking the aging room quattro right now and like it quite a bit as well.

im in the middle of downtown and right by the library el stop.  i grew up in gurnee and lived in prospect heights so im familiar with those areas as well.

cigars for soldiers, huh?  that would have been nice during on of my deployments. how does that work with customs?

as for personal interests, anyone into architecture, tech, or snowboarding?

So far, I've had zero issues with customs.  Since all of the cigars are going to APOs, even when I have to declare contents, they make it through.

I thought perhaps because of its organic nature it might get stuck but good to know they make it through. Send them to combat bases or permanent duty stations? Or both?

It is usually a mix, and it really depends on who gets nominated.  I'll put a call for nominations out in early to mid October.
