Operation: Cigars For Warriors, a charity whose mission is to send cigars and other items to American troops to active combat zones, says that it has recently shipped its one-millionth cigar.
The charity began in 2012 as a way to make it easier for those interested in sending cigars to soldiers. It collects donated cigars and other items from cigar smokers, retailers and manufacturers and then packages the cigars and other items in boxes, which it mails to troops.
“The shipment of our one millionth cigar to deployed servicemembers is an incredibly momentous milestone in the history of our charity, which would not have been possible without the generous contributions of our volunteers, donation centers and industry partners,” said Storm Boen, chairman and ceo of Operation: Cigars for Warriors.
Cigars for Warriors is a registered 501(c)3 charity that relies on volunteers.
