Cigars in Iraq

If his humidor only holds 20 cigars I would send one now and one later. Each box is 20 cigars. I would buy one now and then one later. Not at the same time if his humidor cant hold both.

Thats what I was thinking. Hope he gets home safe.

I'd call Ccom and see what they can do. They might throw in a 20 count if you are buying two boxes, or they might split the boxes so he gets half of each. That way he gets a selection.

^this! But like said before only send what he has room for. Best of luck to you and him.

Jeff Jackson organizes some sort of charity sticks for troops thing. I would call Ccom and ask him what he recommends!

Thanks for the idea! I will call them on Monday.

Where in Iraq is your husband?  I am also in Iraq and probably have the exact same humidor he bought at the BX.  Although I'm not an expert, I've learned a lot from these forums just "skimming" through the postings and through trial and error over here.  All of the suggestions that everybody has offered are good...I have my wife send me about 5-10 cigars every two weeks and it helps somewhat.  I also had her send me a Xikar crystal clear humidifier which works great.  Initially, I made the mistake of buying about 30-45 cigars all at once and had them sent here with no way to maintain them and ended up buying 10 humidor bags at the BX.  Trying to avoid that from happening again

I am in Baghdad and bought a humi while here. It is still seasoning right now so my cigars are in a Rubbermaid container I bought at the PX. It has worked great for the time being. I have several humi tubes and pillows in it as well as a hygrometer. It stays around 70 degrees and 68rh most of the time.

He's at Balad right now. He actually has a humidor that he'd gotten from cigars I gave him last year that I'd ordered off here.

Definitely ask to speak to Jeff Jackson. Jeff takes care of us International customers like a champ and we are not serving his country so I am certain he will help you in any way possible.

that's insane, I'm also at balad right now...I wonder if your husband is apart of the local cigar group on base?

Shoot him an email - Ccom is pretty good about getting back in a day or so

What's his email? Any chance it's jeffjackson@cigar.com?
