What does Cigars for Warriors do?

Cigars For Warriors (Op:CFW) is a volunteer-driven, nationwide non-profit organization based in Ocala, Florida. Founded in 2012, it focuses on collecting and distributing premium cigars, accessories, coffee, magazines, and related items to U.S. service members in combat zones and on long-term deployments. The organization has shipped over 1.7 million cigars, serving approximately 25,000 service members annually through a network of over 540 verified donation centers across the country. Op:CFW operates as a donation-based charity, relying on contributions from individuals, cigar enthusiasts, and retailers. It collects donations at drop-off centers or through direct mail and ships care packages worldwide to active-duty troops upon request. The organization is supported by volunteers who manage events and social media, and it welcomes additional board volunteers for outreach efforts.
