Quick Question

nick2021 · 11-14-2010, 06:33 AM

I have seen people get butane, but have never requested it as I figured they'd be confiscated since the local post office my wife used was pretty bad in regards to her sending cigars or cigar-related items...really pisses me off, and they'll get an ear-full when I get home next week. I think you should be okay, just don't bring it back with you as the postal people are worse in Iraq than in the states...trust me on that as the guy who sat next to me at Balad managed the postal contract in Iraq lol

Ryan- the box I just sent you included oodles of matches; not as nice as a lighter, but at least you have a way of lighting up. I'll look into butane!

I don't know what post you are at, but I was able to buy some at one of the Iraqi shops at Balad.

You seriously are the best. I will be looking in the mail room every day. I can't wait to see my guys faces when I walk up and just hand them a cigar and tell them to relax and enjoy a couple minutes of down time.

I have seen the butane in the shops here but I don't know if I want to run that stuff in my lighters or put it to my cigars. If I have to i will buy a lighter from them too and then use the Iraqi butane in it.
