I'm sure they (the smokes) will get a decent burial.......the BCC always has room for 1 more and the door is always open

[Fekum]

Whats up everybody? Tonight was a great Herf as always. The turnout wasnt too big, but we had a great time anyways. Im attaching a few pics from the night. One is of our new logo. Were getting T-shirts made. I will let everyone know when they're in. Thanks to all who support this great hobby of ours.

[SNKBYT]

wow that is a small group, but I still see some familiar faces in there......hope all is well, nice new logo

have MAJ E send me an email at yahoo

[Fekum]

if it makes you feel any better, I'm still coughing up dust :c

[zitro_joe]

Those winds made takeoff and landing real interesting...

[Fekum]

Got a great box in today from rrplasencia with some Carlos Torano Casa Toranos! I had one for lunch, what a great smoke! Thanks so much rrplasencia! They will be at Saturday night's BCC Herf. There's also some great snacks and a couple nice T-shirts.

[zitro_joe]

casa torano is one of my favorites

[SNKBYT]

how are the supplies for the BCC?

[Fekum]

Not bad. I received some Carlos Toranos, and some CAOs and a few select other good ones. Not a whole lot, but still great quality stuff. A few cutters too. Hows home life so far man?

[adam7476]

Glad to see that you made it home safe and sound. I am looking to be there for leave around the 5th or 6th of Aug. Hope you have a good time back at home.


Long Ash To All!!

thanks Adam and enjoy your leave

[Fekum]

Last nights Herf was great. We had about 10 newcomers and about 20 regulars. The Carlos Toranos were a hit! I have about 7 left for next week. Thanks for all the support. We are looking at another Herf at Dust-off possibly 15 August.

[Fekum]

We dont know yet. We have only set a date.

[papichulo]

When I was there we did not have a place to hang out and herf. We just had to figure it out. Be safe and enjoy each smoke with your brothers:usa

[zitro_joe]

man. just returned from last night's mission, probably wont make it tonight. sucks.

[SNKBYT]

any updates on the BCC?

[newcigarz]

As you may or may not know, we had a weekend long herf this past weekend to celebrate the homecoming of snkbyt - Alex. It was a great time and hopefully those with cameras will post up some pics.
But as a thank-you to me for being the go between to supply the BAF cigar club and Alex with cigars and comfort items during his tour, snkbyt decided to hit me with an amazing assortment of goodies. I accept these gifts on behalf of all who contributed and will display them proudly. I am also going to crosspost this in the BAF Banter thread.

hope it works out for you.......tell the BCC gang I said hi and I've been drinking rum in their honor

[Fekum]

Hey everyone! My internets been down for 2 days. Saturday night was a blast! The Poker set was a huge hit. We will definitely be playing poker more often. It really was a blast. Thanks to all of our supporters!

[68TriShield]

how was the huge azz cigar? Want another? :D

[Fekum]

He didnt actually smoke it. Everyone said, whoever lost first at poker had to smoke it. Well, I lost first, twice, but that thing would take a week. Hopefully it holds together, the wrapper was starting to come off. No thanks to another, I might actually have to try to smoke it and I dont get a week off at a time, haha!

[Fekum]

Im back everyone! I had a string of Internet/Computer problems. Wow has it been an eventful couple of weeks. Last week at our Saturday night "BAF Cigar Club Herf" we had a special guest from the NRA, Phillip Schreier. He gave out NRA coins, donated some cigars to the troops and took some pictures hopefully to write an article about the BCC. Tonight, wow what a night. We had at least 70 people show up. Its was our veteran BCC members last Herf before they return to the great US of A. A few soldiers that formed a band came and performed for us. They played everything all kinds of music. They even had a few soldiers go up and sing (karaoke style). There were burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, chips and drinks. We totally depleted our cigars for the troops stock. We played dominoes, and texas hold-em. Everyone had an outstanding time. It was a really great way to send out our great friends on with a bang. I will post some pictures tomorrow. Everyone with a camera is already in bed. We stayed and played until 0100 in the morning. Great music, great smokes, great N/A beer, great games and even better friends! Everyone is sincerely thankful to all of you that have supported the soldiers for so long. If there is anything that any of us can do for any of you, please ask.

keep me posted on the BCC and support, check w/the Retention NCO and see if the 82nd stuff and flags showed up yet......also keep me posted on the article about the BCC.......I'm sure you'll find a grasshopper soon.....good job being the BCC CEO:tu

[Fekum]

Snkbyt, Thanks brother, I appreciate it. Yeah, its going to suck not having those guys around. They have been some really great friends. I really hope to stay in touch with them once they leave. We got together tonight and played poker and dominoes again. Im still waiting for my buddy with the camera to bring his SD Card so I can upload some pics.

So, Saturday night (I forgot to mention this) Maj H brought his camera and at one point during the night after most people had left, he says hes gotta find his camera. Well, me being the nice guy that I am, found it for him, but I waited about 5 minutes to give it to him. As it turns out, you can take alot of pictures of your "ball$" and "bum" in the bathroom in 5 minutes. So I come back out of the bathroom, and its a pretty big camera mind you, and I stuck it in my cargo pocket and had to walk sideways to get past him, because he was up looking all around for his camera. The look on his face said it all too as soon as I saw him. He had that look of worry like, some mother$%^*er took my camera. So I get to my seat and say "here it is, it was under the chips." So he had no clue, he was just relieved that his camera wasn't gone. So tonight, were playing cards and he hadn't shown up yet. Well when he does come, he starts talking about his day and how he got to see a full moon with some friends! It was awesome. Yes for those of you that aren't in the Army, thats how we "roll." Good times.

Last night was a pretty good time as always, we had about 13 people show up. We played poker and smoked some good stoggies. Next week were heading down to dust-off. It may end up being our new spot. The new unit came in and tore down the power strip for the lights. The place is a mess too. It even stinks. The guys from their unit come out but dont associate, ask where its from, nothing, so were done there. The new spot is either going to be dust-off or the Big gazebo. Our shirts came in today. I will update more later.

[Fekum]

Our shirts came in today. They came out really good. Me and Shug are going to hit the post office today to ship them to the guys from Warrior that are home already. Tomorrow night, the guys from the Tiki Hut and Dust-off invited us to a pig roast. Everything's going well though.

[SNKBYT]

Enjoy the BBQ...post some pics...any extra shirts in XL or 2X?
Posted via Mobile Device

[Fekum]

I think he sold all of the shirts tonight but one (which is spoken for) if the dude dont bring the money this Saturday, I'll let you know. My buddy Mac took some pics, will try to get them off him tomorrow night. They had 2 pigs tonight, steak, all kinds of sides. It was pretty nice. They played wiffle ball in the hanger. We played Mexican train dominoes with double 15 dominoes. It took forever. Great time.

glad ya had a good time........how was the cigar turn out and is that the new BCC home (badge needed) or will it be the gazebo in time square?

[Fekum]

Whats up everyone?!?!? Tonight was our weekly Herf. We had a turnout of about 20 people. We played poker, then some dominoes, and did a bunch of B.S.ing. As always, it was a pretty great time. Not much left but "filler" cigars but still a great time. Tim and the Tiki guys had some cuban monte's they shared with some guys. A buddy (Chris, Gus' replacement) gave me a Davidoff, my first one, and man was it unbelievable! I bought last week's weekly special off of CI and had a 5 vegas Cask Strength, and a Nica Libre. The Cask strength was awesome and the Nica Libre was pretty decent too. I had one of the Gurkha G5's last night. It was pretty good. Strong, which I like. I'm going to the the Rocky Decades roast for a while in the humi before I tear into those. Snykbyt, I bought some JRs a couple of weeks ago (yeah I know you love it), the padron alternatives, and they were this shizzzzzzz Nit. They were torpedoes and had an unbelievably silky smooth wrapper. I gave a bunch of them out to the guys and everyone loved them. They are probably someone in my top 30 list. Obviously that list is Non Cuban, haha. Everythings going pretty great around here. My anniversary was yesterday (8 years shes had to put up with me). We are less than 60 days from coming home! Im starting to pack stuff that Im not using up already. I sent another small box of stoggies out to our guys at one of our FOBs. One guy came back today and says thanks so much to everyone supporting the cause. They smoked them things up like crazy. Sorry I dont have any pics of tonight, 9 guys with cameras and not one of them brought one. I still dont have one after mine took a crap. Funny story about that... Two of my buddies decided to get a little payback on me. I have a habit of taking peoples cameras when they arent looking and taking pictures of some of my favorite places "cough cough hint hint" and putting their camera back... well they got me good, took it in the porta jon and took some of their favorite places as well as some Browns that had been taken to the super bowl, if you know what I mean. Anyways, the camera didnt work after that... Hmm I wonder why...? Oh yeah, Snykbyt, I got Maj H like that... I dont know if I told you. He couldnt find his camera, and I did, so I snuck in the bathroom and snapped a few and came back out like "here, I found your camera." Well, he didnt see the pics until a few nights later! It was hilarious, Maj E, SGM Stewart, MSG Nunnally were all there, they got a kick out of it. Good times!

[zitro_joe]

Boxed up 50 to send out, should be out the door by thursday.

[adam7476]

Just checking in to see how things are going. Been kinda busy with work to visit the BCC. Is it still in the same location? I heard rumors that it might have moved.

[zitro_joe]

Between time off from the deployment, two stints of leave and being sent home for nine day for Quarters - this was my first week back. I put on E6 next month so I will be shuffled around somewhere to be NCOIC of something. The family is great, and life is awesome. Looks like I might be back pretty soon so I am just taking one day at a time.

Not much is new around here. We had a small earthquake last night... We are still using Dustoff for the weekly herf. About 3-8 of us Herf at our corner almost every night. Its starting to get cold as a mother though! Its supposed to be 32 tonight. Its beautiful during the day, but as soon as the sun hits the mountains, it gets COLD quick. We still sit out and smoke em up thought. Dedication baby! We have a few BOTL heading out REAL soon. We'll be sad to see them go, but glad they can finally reunite with their families.

SGT Adams is the BCC guy now.....if they are not at the "eagles nest" try going into the hanger and asking for the door to the "tiki bar" (NW side of hanger).......they also smoke at the big gazebo near the "aviation chow hall"

[SNKBYT]

[SNKBYT]

[Afghanistansucks]

Went looking for the cigar club tonight and couldnt find it. I have 4 months left here and I'm just getting around to looking at cigar smoking as a hobby instead of a longer smoke break than anybody else:D I was really looking forward to trying some good cigars so as soon as the club starts again I'll be there. I'm in camp Khole(sp?) right now but moving to the other side of the airfield by next month.

[SNKBYT]

any luck on the BCC?.......last word was Saturday nights 6-9pm either in the Eagles Nest (south end by gate) or back conex called Tiki Bar located at DUSTOFF hanger by the hospital

[SNKBYT]

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL serving not just in AFGHANISTAN (BAF) but to all SERVICE MEMBERS :salute:

[zitro_joe]

Keven....travel down to the "dust off" hanger down by the Hospital and ask the gate guard to speak w/the contractors that work on the helos, there should be someone left there that smokes in the conex behind the hanger that knows about the BCC (we had several BBQ herfs in their AO)..........hope you find them......worst case is you might have to restart the BCC :ss.......put fliers up at the DFACs

I know that just before I left, I went every Saturday for about 3 weeks, but I was the only one there. We asked about it, but not many people knew what I was talking about.

Well I am PCSing from Ft Gordon and Heading to Campbell in 2 weeks. I know that I will only be there for a couple weeks before I head out to Afghanistan. I would say it is about a 90% chance I will be at Bagram. Will keep you all posted and lets see if we can get this going again.

Confirmed! USO, right by the pax terminal, has cigar club at 20:00 on weds. Couple of med web guys sorta orchestrating it, but there was about 40 or even a few more folks, even close to a dozen females. They had Tali-band coins, and similar membership structure. Said they were trying to do polo shirt order soon.

most hung out till 2100 or so, it was cold as ****, mid/high 20s.. i imagine they would have hung out longer if if had been warmer.

there was someone running around with a good camera, i've never been able to get my pics to upload over hadji net. but i'll be back at benning later this week, see what i can do.

The civilian in the UF hat is still at BAF if I am not mistaken. I will be there in probably 10 days to 2 weeks.
