I've been contemplating a 'pipes for troops' proposition. I have been in contact with the USO and a few pipe makers and they say that they would like to contribute and be a part of doing something like this. I researched the internet but came up empty on if its been done already. I'm not sure if something like this already exists. I'm also concerned about some politically correct organizations that may oppose my trying to get servicemen and women tobacco and pipes, although that won't stop me. Any suggestions and does you know of anyone is already doing this?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

:crying: Times sure have changed. Back in 72-78 it seemed like everyone smoked in one form or another. The older officers and CPO's usually favored cigars and pipes but also smoked cigarettes because they were easier to light up right away when you were in a hurry. I was one of the few enlisted men who favored a pipe but I was forced into smoking cigarettes due to the situations that I worked in. In combat you just can't take the time to properly smoke a pipe, you might get killed if you do!!!! I can't believe that there isn't plenty of tobacco use in Iraq and Afghanistan unless the troops are partaking in the world renown local smoke. Even at my age you can bet I'd be enjoying the local hashish and smoking style opium. I'd relive Apocalypse Now,,just in the desert
