As for your "organization" Value For Veterans, I've been searching for them, and as a matter of fact, cannot find it listed anywhere where I have searched. All the searches I've done have come up negative, no listings.

Maybe you could post a website, phone number, newsletter, bbb listing, address to send donations, charity watch listing....anything??? Or is this just another scam for you to get free cigars?
