Just got to Afghanistan and have given most of my fresh Cope Longcut to the poor bastards in the 82nd AirBorne who have been stuck here for 11 months. Ive also found some cigar smokers over here if anyone wants to support a few dog face Soldiers!

I tend to do a lot of my ordering from Famous Smoke/Cigar Monster. They have a whole section of coupons that I was thinking we might be able to use to get some cigars to the folks downrange. Does anybody have contacts at that company that might be able to take the coupon cigars and box 'em up to be sent as one package to a unit of our choice?

LOL! nah, no private box needed. I've nestled it all away in my CHU now; although we do have a "community" humidor that we can just deposit/withdraw as needs be. I held enough back and put the rest in there.

Well don't use them in Erie, PA. Apparently the Erie USPS will not accept the USPS forms completed and printed using the USPS label and shipping tools. There is no place for them to correct the EXACT weight if the package even though if it's under 30 lbs it can ship overseas. Yes, there is no logic when governmental bodies are involved. Not bashing the USPS but really????? I was just trying to move these along but I guess Monday will have to do. Echo I need a drink.....and a non-fuzzy cigar!!! Anyone know where I can find these??? Frigid said something about buying or making or ending a drink but like his goat, nothing but bad air.

We have a fledgling cigar club of sorts starting up here at the FOB. I'm pretty new to cigars (usually a pipe smoker...) but it's nice to get out of the LSA and meet some of the other people working here. Last time we got together my SSG and myself were the only ones in uniform (the rest of the group was about 50/50 between civilian contractors, and SMs that get to change out of uniform in their off hours (lucky bastards...
