Something special for the Marines...

Just picked this one up. Its the first time ever I buy cigars based only on their presentation.

I guess the only proper way to cut them is with this:

Cheers!

Is that a KA-BAR knife?

Is that a KA-BAR knife?

If it's not than it's got no soul.

Would also like to know where one can obtain a box like that. Would be cool if they could put an MCRD San Diego label on it, too.

Cheers,

Interesting presentation, and being the son of a WWII Marine they sure look appealing. I wonder if the manufacturer is authorized to use the logo?

Apparently the Salute to Arms is available in presentation boxes with Army, Navy, Airforce and Marines. Just do a Google search.

The cigars them self is made in Nicaragua.

And yes! That is a Ka-Bar. Timeless classic!

I don't know about the cigars, but I will always raise a glass to the men and women that protect my freedom, regardless of branch of service. God bless you good people! -Piggy
