Not a Registered Nonprofit

Blue Star Cigars is not a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Any support you provide is not a tax-deductible charitable donation. We use the term "support" or "help cover the cost" rather than "donation" for this reason.

No Guarantee of Delivery or Response

We make a good-faith effort to get every package to the service member named, but we can't guarantee delivery timing, condition on arrival, or that the service member will be able to respond, given the realities of deployment and unit mail logistics.

Eligibility

Cigars are intended for service members who are currently deployed overseas or underway at sea. We rely on the information provided by the person submitting the request and cannot independently verify deployment status.

No Professional or Legal Advice

Nothing on this site constitutes legal, tax, or financial advice. If you have questions about the tax treatment of a contribution, consult a qualified professional.

External Links

This site may link to third-party sites, such as our Facebook page. We aren't responsible for the content or privacy practices of external sites.
