    As long as they are legal cigars.

    The 3 things you can't send to Iraq or Afghanistan are

    1. Alcohol

    2. Pork

    3. Porn

    Source(s): FAQ pg for APO/FPOs http://www2.apobox.com/faq_reg.php/#6 says nothing about tobacco being prohibited

    In the United States, authentic Cuban-made cigars often carry a mystique among some aficionados for being perceived as "the best smoking experience" of all cigars, and for being "forbidden fruit" for Americans to purchase.

    Cigars are often presented as stereotypical rich man's accessory. Cigars are often smoked to celebrate good fortune, like the birth of a child, a graduation, a big business accomplishment, etc. Some buy and keep a cigar 'for luck' with regard to a bet, with the intention of smoking it after winning the bet. The expression "close, but no cigar", said after a near miss, derives from that tradition.So if your site is dedicated to this kind demographic then you will definitely excel promoting our cigars.
