I just got done putting up all of our Christmas decorations here at home and now, I am just relaxing watching a football game, anxiously waiting for the next Packer game. Yes, Dalls beat the Packers; however, I thought it was a pretty good game. Anyway, while watching the Raider game I decided to check my email and found this really interesting article. Anything that has to do with our Troops I immediately read and I am happy to find out about the CigarsStarsAndStripes.com website. I think this is really cool. Check it out.
SOUTH SALEM, N.Y., Nov. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Stan Pottinger, founder of www.CigarsStarsAndStripes.com, got the idea of sending cigars to the troops while talking on the telephone to his son, a Marine in Iraq. "I said, "What do you need?'" Pottinger says, "and he said, 'I could use a few cigars.' When I asked him why-he wasn't a big smoker-he said they were a good way to relax and good barter with civilian contractors for stuff they couldn't get at the PX. But the most unusual thing he said was they were a diplomatic ice- breakers with sheiks, local officials, and Iraqi soldiers.'"
