If You "Adopted" A Solider What Do You Send?

[Michael]

Well ok if you say so but I must admit I will be sending the cheap $2 ones. I can't afford $25. Well if my clients would pay me I could ::

So how many do I send? When we sent packages in the past we sent a dozen or so of each item so the soldier can share if he wanted to. Should I send a dozen cigars or would they be wasted? I don't know anyone in the military anymore so I don't know what they can and can't do. I would love to have my kids all involved with this project tho. It would help teach them a lot. It would be even better if they got replies! That's a great idea I never thought of sending those, it's definatley different! TY

Thanks everyone for the extra ideas!

Make sure they are in a zip lock bag and maybe bubble wrap them. That way they don't dry out and get crushed. Unless you send them in the cigar box them came in. Good luck. I'm sure they will think you're cool for sending them. Here are some places you can bid and get great cigars for cheap.

You should get a vacuum sealing wrap machine if your gonna send cigars. I put my husbands copenhagen in those and it keeps them fresh by the time he gets them --- especially good since they dont taste as good after a certain date. I got a vacuum sealer at Walmart for pretty cheap.
