From our troops in Afghanistan

[bazookajoe]

Here's the latest email with a pic from Lt. Fera in Afghanistan. His unit is leaving in April so I have time to get at least one more shipment to them and would like to include some Acids, so if anyone has any quarantined that they'd like to send let me know. As papajohn67 has stated in earlier posts, Lt. Fera always makes sure he sends cigars to the soldiers "down range" so we like to send a little extra his way. We'll continue to send cigars to their replacements because they don't seem to get as much attention as those in Iraq.


"Hi David,

Sorry I took so long to respond to this. I've been negligent with my email duties; things have been getting busy over here with planning our LAST!!!! mission, so I've been dealing with crisis after crisis. I've learned a lot this deployment...and after being on staff for the last 5 months, I've definitely seen a lot of things...[edit mine].

Anyways, I won't bore you with those details. Things are going ok here other than that, the weather is chilly but sunny at least. It snows everyonce in a while down here, but up in the mountains they're getting pounded. It's going to be a cold next mission! Everyone is excited as we've only got 60 days left to we start to redeploy, so I'm definitely pumped.

I gave your email address to one of the company commanders who said he would send pictures...Doug Ralph-have you heard from him or gotten anything from him at all? I'll attach a picture of me and my old 1SG enjoying some sticks. My whole unit (actually our brigade!) is leaving in April, but we will be replaced by units from the 101st Abn Div, so I'll try to find a guy that doesn't suck and pass his address along to you so you can continue the AFG cigar connection!

As far as special requests, not a lot of us here are experts, so we smoke whatever. I do know all of us enjoy the Acids for sure. But honestly we think the best cigar is a free one, so we aren't too particular haha. But seroiusly though, the variety you've been sending has been great-they guys can pick out what they enjoy.

Pss my greetings along to SSG Corcoran. We've been reading about the progress they're making in Iraq and it's pretty encouraging. Hopefully they'll square that away so I don't have to go in a year!

Well I have to get going, it's meeting time (AGAIN). Hope all is well with you and thanks again for your support!
TJ Fera"

Thanks for sharing that with us David.

PM me when you're getting the shipment ready. I definitely have some stuff I can send their way. Oh and if you wanted to do another order for the acid samplers or something of the sort, let me know about that too.

Hmmm, that might not be a bad idea. The best deal on those sampler tins right now is $45 @ tntcigar.com - a little more than we paid last time but they add 4 free Kuba Kubas with each one so I think it's a slightly better deal. Lemme think about this...
