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.
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.
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.
