BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) - October 23, 2008
Cigars International will ship 18,000 cigars, worth $65,000,
from its plant in the Bethlehem area, 50 miles north of
Philadelphia. They'll be distributed to various locations in Iraq
and Afghanistan.
A May-through-September promotion promised a matching donation
of cigars to troops if customers bought three premium cigars for
$5.
Company President Keith Meier says they're intended as a treat
for soldier cigar-fanciers who've "been overseas and under
duress."
