| Still Watching My Back |  Boiled water in a pinch??? 
			
			I screwed up and sent my son-in-law in Afganistan a humi full of stogies, and accesories. Not thinking that distilled water would be hard to get I sent him humi-care pillows. Will boiled water grow mold in these pillows? any other options that he might be able to come up with overthere? Thanks Ken

			here's the good news - the bottled water works just fine. No such animal as "tap water" over there. The bad news? He's still in Afghanistan.  Did you send him a humi or a cigar caddy? |

			Ammo cans work great (anyone remember the La Finca-dors?)...but the problem is going to be the unit he is assigned to. All it takes is one retarded jackass (trust me, he knows what I mean) that sees an ammo can in your son-in-law's hooch and all hell breaks loose. Tell him to see if he can get his hands on a Hardigg/Storm/Pelican case over there - the PX has improved GREATLY since some of our tours back in 02 and 03!!! |

			For that matter a good tupperware container would work as an interim to getting the necessary long term container. I used one while on the road and I travelled extensively throughout the AOR and my cigars were very well kept. I too used the humi-care pillows and they performed great. I think your package will be fine.
