Changing of the guard...

Changing of the Guard......

Due to the fact that my wife and I recently found out we'll be expecting our first child next year, I'll be stepping down from accepting donations for the troops. This is something that I really don't want to do, but have to do. All of my free time will now be devoted to preparing for the wonderful addition to our family.

I will still make one last shipment (for Christmas) soon, so if you have cigars on the way to me, they'll be added to that shipment.

Luckily, without missing a beat, Tony (aka newcigarz) has agreed to step up and fill-in. He has been a constant supporter of the troops since joining and will be a great addition to the team. I will be forwarding him my contacts overseas and he'll assist Dave (68TriShield) and bazookajoe making sure the troops' humis are well-stocked.

Thanks to everyone who has and/or continues to make donations to this worthiest of causes. If I am able to find myself with some free time, I too will continue to send cigars to the troops.

Thanks Tony for stepping up!!

Thanks for the intro and for all you have done for the troops Patrick.
I hope That I can make this a very smooth transition and we can keep
our Troops well stocked.

If anyone has any questions or wants to make a donation please don't hesitate to contact me via PM. :tu

Thanks Patrick for all you have done!! Except for Dave we now have a new team of players on the field and I hope everyone supports them as well as they have supported both Partrick and myself. With the addition of Tony & David to the team I know the Cigars for the Troops project will continue without missing a beat. :tu
