Best. Name. Ever.

Thanks for posting this, Rob.  Good to see the troops getting a break to just chill and enjoy some down time with good cigars.

I attended a cigar event at a major US retailer last summer.  Received 75 "free" (minus $160 USD cost of admission) cigars, and got to meet Hamlet.  Since I don't smoke NCs, I donated them all to Cigars for Warriors.  Glad they went to good use.

Wish I would have smoked cigars when I was over there in 06-07.  For me, cigars are a good way to wind down and reflect on everything in life.  I could have used a lot of winding down back then...

In my line of work, we're close with some of the boys and platoons over there and continue to send smokes their way. Sometimes the APO's delay them a bit, but most times they get there.
