    Copy of the letter:

    To: Dustin Tuttle
    From: Mike Williams and the Members of the Cigar.com Forums

    My name is Mike Williams and I am friends with Steve and Cindy at the Country Club in Beloit, WI. He wanted to send you some cigars and accessories but didn’t know about how to do it, so I have offered to help. I belong to a great forum on Cigar.com and I just asked for a little help by telling them my story and getting you some sticks, at that point there was a great response from the members and they started sending sticks.
    I don’t know how much you smoke, but a lot of us find it relaxing and hopefully you will too, to find some solitude over there. I left notes in the packages so you can see and read the support we have for you all. Along with the cigars, there is a 40 count travel humidor for you to bring back sticks if you wish. All the bags have either Humi-packs in them or water pillows, the water pillows can be refilled with either distilled water or solution I have included a bottle of each that is sealed in box. You will also find cutters, matches, lighters and some other goodies! (Try to keep them outta heat) If you access to a cooler for storage great!
    I ask only one thing, I would like you to share with other soldiers (I think you have plenty LOL) and take some pics of them enjoying them and send them to me via email (mikee672003@yahoo.com) so I could share on the forum. I would like to get together when you are back for a fine evening of cigars and drinks. We all thank you and the rest of the service members for your service and pray for a safe return.
    In closing, if you find that you need something else please let me know, please don’t be shy about it.
    If you can access internet, check out the cigar.com web and the look under the community for the forums, you will find the same names there that are in those packages!!!
    Sincerely Mike Williams

    Great Gawd Awmighty! I think that Toombes is certifiably mental. He ought to make a Vonage ad. Sixty six stix. Jeepers.

    I really hate i didn't get on board with this in time.. I am still amazed at how kind this community is. Really good folks around here, and im sure the soldiers will think the same when they get the message!

    First things first... DAY-UMMM! That's a pantload of 'baccy goodness!
    Secondly, the sticks I sent were half of what was collected for a Stateside Soldier package I was putting together. Sadly, I was unable to find an organization willing to accept them. So, half to Mike for his package and the other half went to Walt for his Cigars for Vets organization.

    Nicely done Dano!! We need to keep these guys in the forefront of our memory! Tony (Alienmisprint) is over there now....could probably use a package or ten in a bit!!

    I was thinking about him the other day. Noticed I hadn't seen him on in a while. Didn't know he was back over seas.
