Cigars for Warriors

[Clint]

I have been talking about sending cigars to our troops for a while, and I am finally going to do it!

After sifting through many threads here, I have found that sending cigars directly to Cigras for Warriors represents the easiest and most effective way to get cigars to our troops. Apparently they ship the cigars directly to soldiers, and take care of the customs forms and USPS paperwork.

Just wondering if anyone has had any direct experience with them? Any tips or advice?

Thanks in advance for any feedback

Clint, we have a couple of brothers here that are in the military. You could send to them...

Famous Smoke is one of their sponsors. I might PM PSJC. I would assume he knows the in's and out's. Here is a link where you can find donation centers in your area.

I have sent cigars to CFW several times and always have had a good experience. They send a thank-you letter acknowledging receipt and for tax purposes if you want to use it.

Spread the love, Clint. I'm sure there are some other boys down range that would love to get some sticks in the mail.

Yes, very true...I have sent to APO addys before, but was considering this option this time.

Happy to participate and help if needed. We send cogars to CFW every month and are a collection site. happy to have stuff shipped to me for donation directly if that makes sense too.

I was just going to write that dscl was the guy to talk to!

I've done a couple of contests where I've asked people to bomb CfW. One other option - the cost of sending the cigars overseas is really expensive so a cash donation (via LapYap) to help pay for shipping is also appreciated by them.

No worries Clint Other than my signature, and let's be honest no one reads those, I don't really advertise it.

I've sent them cigars before. Top notch organization!!

They can always use monetary donations too. Sending all those smokes to the troops cost big bucks.

CFW is legit and I know many of the guys involved and working their butts off to support the troops. Wish they had been around when I served! We can always have our troops here that are deployed or getting ready to deploy contact CFW to get on the list. I organized a cigars for the troops 3 times I think and it is a ton of work. These guys have it down.

I have used CFW in the past and the process was very easy, no problems. Let me know if I can assist, I'd be happy to throw a few extra sticks in with the everyone else

Bryan Glynn of Cigarobsession.com is actually doing a donation drive right now for the next five weeks. Last year they gathered over 2500 cigars for the troops. His website has more info.
