In April I proudly took command of an Engineer Company and less than a month later, boarded a MD-80 heading East. Most of us have been out here nearly two months and have executed some pretty gnarley missions in the folded terrain of the Afghan/Packistani border region. Our mission is to provide Route Clearance Support to Maneuver Forces in Paktika province and to ensure economic lines of communication remain clear and available for the citizens of Afghanistan. My company of Combat Engineers plus 10 or so mechanics and other supporting specialties do what the infantry consider crazy: go out to purposefully find IEDs in Regional Command East, Afghanistan.
Never before have I been so busy or so happy to be so. I still take time for a cigar now and again, bringing my entire collection of traveldor cases and have enjoyed the benefits of a well oiled military postal service system. Slowly but surely I'm getting the whole company used to smoking cigars as I've shared a couple boxes on special occasions, My Father on Father's Day, CAO La Traviata for a good luck send off for one of my platoons prior to a long mission in support of the Infantry, and so on.
With the 4th of July coming up, what should I get to share with my troops? Most of 'em don't smoke many cigars so robustos or corona vitolas seem to be appropriate.

Outlaw North, right? I'm in the Army not the Air Force but everything else is right on. I smoked my last FFP last week and every time I smoke any Ligas I think about that generous gift.
Plus, they're just dang good! You also couldn't go wrong with a Padron 2000 which is about the right size for your needs.
