Well SFC, if you are in the same location as me I have some to share. I also have a humidor I would be willing to let go of pretty cheap - holds about 150. It is already seasoned and would just need to be maintained. No since paying for the shipping if I can let another person get good use of it.

bad tobacco...never. I wouldn't trust buying anything over there period. Plus the cigarettes over there are pretty harsh from what I understand. Cowboy killers got nothing on these things. Wish I would have known about the smokes earlier, I sent a small batch for Holy Smokes in Iraq but they are well stocked right now. I could have sent them to you SFC.

Not to worry, my third deployment this way since 2004, I have smoked some harsh "named brand" stuff out here.  I just feel for my younger Soldiers (first time deployers), they were able to by a carton of smoke for about $20, now, well they will have to come up with other means of getting their fix.

I sure hope I got a new paragraph going...  You know, you have to pick your fights wisely.  I have heard many soldier complain about this policy with such things like "Military sent me here and now they won't let me smoke".  I of course being the the Sergeant First Class that I am, a Professional Soldier, have a few things to tell them.  Just one of them out of the fight, is one to many.  Also, if we are sold some bad tabacco and one of these soldiers was to be "high" and then they were attacked, how effective is that "high" soldier going to be, will he really be able to "protect your back"?

Anyhow, I degress somewhat, it is after midnight I should be heading to my bunk and get some sleep.
