Cigars for Troops Program

How to Send Cigars Directly to U.S. Troops Serving in Afghanistan and Iraq

By , About.com Guide

Our Cigars for Troops Program began in April 2007, with the cooperation of Lt. Col. Mitch Fadem, who is again deployed to Afghanistan during 2010. The purpose of the program is to support America's Finest Cigar Smokers, who are now serving our country overseas. The program does not use any middlemen, as you will mail your cigar donations directly to the troops. Any type and any amount of cigars that you can send are greatly appreciated. Cigar companies as well as individuals are encouraged to mail cigars directly to:

Kabul Cigar Club
US NSE
APO AE 09356

Alex Medlin
C/O Kandahar Koughers
KAF-RCC Bldg 232
APO, AE 09355


For more information about mailing a package to our troops, please visit usps.com.
