A favor to ask...

As most of you know, I am a U.S. Marine. I have a friend of mine that just shipped out to Iraq for his first tour. He's having a tough time being away from his family and adjusting to his new "home" for the next 7 months.
He just started smoking cigars about 2 months ago and is partial to flavored ones. CAO Moontrance to be exact. However, he does like the Natural line from Drew Estates (Clean Robusto, Elixer 5-50 and the Root) and the Acid line. He also tried the Playboy by Don Diego before he left and enjoyed that as well. Mostly just mild to medium smokes and some flavored ones.
I would love to send him and his fellow Marines some sticks to enjoy while they are stuck in the middle of the nastiest place on earth, (I've been there twice and ready to go back next Sept. so I'm kind of an authority on the description!), however, I can't afford to on my salary.
My favor is this:
If you have any sticks like the ones I mentioned or similar or if you just want to donate some you think that they would enjoy and want to send them to me so that I can get them out to them I would GREATLY appreciate it as I KNOW he will! When he gets them I'll ask him to take some pics of the box I send with him and his Marines enjoying what we donate.

I know this is a lot to ask but I just want to do something for him to make his time just a bit easier, know what I mean?

If you would like to help out, please PM me or send me an e-mail to

[email protected]

so that you can get my address to send what you can to me. That way I can send him the package from my base to his. (It's A LOT faster and it's free!)

Thanks for your time and consideration,

Devil Dog, I can't do anything about this right now, but I believe I'll have some leeway in a month or two. Is it okay to send you some stuff for him then?

Of course! He'll be over there until April of next year, so whenever you can that would be great.

Thanks again.

Castle, Capt and Bloofington,
I sent you all a PM so you'll have my address.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate this.

Thanks again,
Jeff

How soon are you looking to send the package DevilDog? I have an order of 5 Vegas A Artisan due in tomorrow (?) and can send some of them and I'll pick up some flavoreds to go with them but it will be near the end of the week before I'll be able to get them sent.

If that's ok PM your addy and I'll send a package as soon as I get it put together.

I have a son in Kyrgyzstan with the Air Force right now, but he's never said anything about any of his buddies smoking cigars. So I'll send some to you for your buddies.

PM sent with my address.
I won't be sending out his package until the end of next week. So 2 weeks from now.

I truly do apprciate this.

Next time you talk to your son, tell him I said thank you and good luck.
What does he do for the AF?
