From the organization's web site: "The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens." 

You get cigars and kids get toys! All proceeds will be sent to SeñorPablo for a donation to Toys for Tots on behalf of the Cigar Geeks community.

So I unfortunately couldn't locate the codes on the Monte n the Cohiba, but they were 2 singles that I've had, and I'm not sure when I got them but I'd think from here at some point...? At any rate I promise to make it right for the winner of the auction by tossing in 2 more sticks to make up for not being able to locate those codes, I have a couple more sticks I do have codes for I'll include...:thumbsup:
