WANTED: Cigar company/distributor/store to sponsor Marine unit’s Cigar Hour with the Chaplain. Unit is leaving for Iraq soon.
That’s right, my unit is going to start Cigar Hour with the Chaplain while we are gone. As many of us can get together on Sundays will gather up for a movie, cigars, and general relaxation. We’re looking for donations of cigars, but from a company/distributor/store. Please send an email if you know of anyone that could help us out. Those of you bloggers that drop by here could also post my request if you don’t mind. Thanks, everyone!

I’ll be happy to post it over at ASM Marcus.

Thanks, Terri!

Will do, Cpl M!
Can you name some brands you all appreciate for those of us who have absolutely no clue about cee-gars? I’m sure ‘my’ Marines would appreciate it.
Cpl M
Um yeah, about that, Yankee. I really have no clue what brands we want. I have never smoked a cigar in my life so I’ll have to defer that question for now.
Terri
My pleasure Marcus! Gotta make sure you all have the “supplies” you need!
CJ
Marcus, I’ll post it over at ASP too. Umm….never mind.

Well, you know I buy about 12 every month for Baby Bane and his group. Since he comes home soon, I can divert those funds and shift it over to sending you a box with them. The ones I get are a mixture of different brands an styles. Long, short, fat, matters not to Baby Bane cuz they all have their favorites. I will talk to my cigar guy, but he has a small private shop and he already cuts me a 10% off deal on what I purchase, so I don’t know how willing he’d be to go into the hole much more. I will ask though. I have a cigar magazine around here somewhere and I’ll look in there for deals on packages of cigars. Questions for you….do you have a general estimate of numbers of guys who may participate?? And is the intention to do this EVERY Sunday?
Cpl M
I do have a general estimate but I’m keeping that off here for OpSec reasons. I’ll discuss that off line with you. Second, yes we do intend to do this EVERY Sunday.

I wanted to bring some to the MilBlogger’s Conference last year to hand out, but I knew zip about cigars. So I asked a guy who used to have a blog called “Cigars In The Sand”. He recommended several. The one I ended up going with was Avo XO Intermezzo. They went over well.
So what are we saying here Cpl M…….just big sponsors or can anyone dance at this party?

Well, I’ve gotten a pretty good response on this from individuals that I guess I might as well work something out if someone wants to send a box or two. Let me work on that and I’ll let you know.
