Under the new agreement, all of Cigars International’s physical store locations will become CFW Donation Centers.The Ocala, Florida nonprofit says the move is part of a larger strategy to reach a milestone of 2 million cigars shipped to troops since 2012. According to CFW, more than 1.9 million cigars have been donated to U.S. servicemen and women so far, along with coffee, magazines, cigar lighters and cutters.The two organizations have worked together for several years, and Cigars International has made multiple donations of cigars to support care packages for deployed troops. Cigars International is owned by Scandinavian Tobacco Group and operates retail stores in Pennsylvania, Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky and Florida.Storm Boen, chairman and CEO of Operation: Cigars for Warriors, said: “Op: CFW has had a great working relationship with CI and many of the other companies in the Scandinavian Tobacco Group since 2012. They have made some legendary donations including a record breaking 33k cigars (which has since been surpassed). They have donated over a quarter of a million dollars in $100 gift cards for deployed troops, cash donations and swag for use in our event raffles. On behalf of our troops deployed overseas and all the volunteers at CFW, thank you.”“Great partnerships are built on more than a shared purpose; they are built on a shared commitment. We’re proud to continue our partnership with Cigars For Warriors and support their mission of providing U.S. service members with a meaningful opportunity to unwind, connect, and enjoy a well-deserved moment of camaraderie,” said Chris Reed, national retail operations manager for Cigars International.Operation: Cigars for Warriors is a registered 501(c)(3) charity whose mission is to provide premium cigars and cigar accessories to U.S. troops serving in active combat zones.The release doesn’t say when the Donation Centers will begin accepting donations or which items they will collect.</div></body>
