I transfered these post from the other thread. RJT


I have been wanting to do this for awhile but didnt know how to do it. I would be happy to help organize this. I say lets put together some stuff and pack it in a coolador and ship out some goodies. Here are my thoughts on what to try getting together. Also if any of you have contacts with your local B&M copy this information and take it to them and see if they would like to donate.
Lets pick a projected shipping date and have everyone turn everything in the week before that date. Have the shipping person inventory and take pictures to post on the forum. RJT

Things to put together for the troops:
Cigars (of course)
cigar books
Cigar magazines, current and old editions
Cigar cutters
punch cutters
travel type humidors
durable cigar cases like the Le Tube style
small bottles of distilled water
50/50 solution
humidifiers to make humidors out of ammo cans
plastic bags for storage
(CASH DONATIONS FOR SHIPPING)

The following would need to be checked on to see if it was OK to send or any shipping restrictions.
Lighters
butane
matches
Alcohol (in airplane style bottles for easy shipping)

Other things to consider?
Playing or poker cards
small hand held games like Poker, black jack, etc...
calling cards (AT&T

ANY OTHER THOUGHTS? RJT

Thought of another item to send...
Humidity beads

My thoughts were this on how to package stuff. All the cigars put in packages of 2 to 5 cigars each. With mixing done as close as possible.

Along with the other stuff do it as a game like draw out of the hat raffle type situation or something. Then put directions on how to do it.

This is eaisly done this way.....Lets say that we have 50 items. Put #1 thru 50 on a small pieces of paper. Also include some blank paper the same size.

Now put all the # papers along with the blank papers to total the # of people in on the drawing. The folks that draw a # get to draw for the prizes. The prizes will be also put on paper the items to be drawn. Or simply include a roll of raffle type tickets from Wal Mart for them to use. (Around $4.00)

Make a game of it. Then let them share how they want to after the game.

This will be a great thing, I am looking foward to this. A great cause and it will be fun to put together.Lets make it happen.I can call my connection at JR's and probably get some stuff like some "Cigar Magazine's" I also have some other connections I can use. RJT

Humidification devices (i.e. Humibeads) are the most sought after commodity here. I have more requests for humidification devices than i do for actuall cigars...

Im not sure if anyone is aware, but the 53 IN BDE (our BDE) is a Florida National Guard unit, kind of ironic because if you go back to the original thread a few Floridians volenteered their help.

thanks to everyone who is signing up for this! You guys are awesome!

Send me a PM too. I got a pound of heartfeld beads that needs a home...

[mr.c]

Alright lets move forward. Otterbox is out, 48 qt cooler is in. MONEY is going to be needed badly to ship this bad boy to afganistan. Going to go to post office tomorrow and see what it may cost to ship, probably have to ask for a couple of dollars from everyone to help with shipping. Still time for anyone to sign up.

I will start pming people over the next few days.

I will act as a hub, post photos of the stuff that comes in and divide the stuff up in to packs for Lt Rich to hand out.

[joed]

Hey Mr. C - I can cover the postage - would be easier for one person doing it, right!

Just send me a PM and let me know how you would like to get the money!

Thanks again for making all of this happen
