Welcome aboard!
I actually have a friend who's brother is in the Army and stationed in Iraq (his third time out there now!) and I found out he smokes cigars...so this past Christmas, I organized a little cigar donation from all the guys at my regular cigar hang-out (meaning, my buddy's garage).
I ended up getting enough cash donated to buy a box of Padrons and also sent along nearly 50 other single sticks, all stuffed into a tupperdor with a few Humidipacks.
I heard later that the soldier was very thankful for the cigars and shared them with his fellow soldiers.
So anyways, I'm right there with ya brother! Oh and Steve is a good guy, for sure.
