Operation: Cigars for Warriors is a registered 501(c)3 charity whose mission is to provide premium cigars and cigar accessories, as well as other items that service members deployed in active combat zones, request. Since 2012, more than 1 million cigars have been distributed to U.S. servicemen and women. Operation: Cigars For Warriors is a Guidestar certified Platinum organization and it relies on donations—both financial and cigars—from consumers, retailers and manufacturers. C.A.T.S. Fest is the organization’s biggest fundraiser. The annual celebration is an almost non-stop four-day party that brings together all elements of the premium cigar and craft beer industries to salute American soldiers and sailors. While the 2020 C.A.T.S. Fest is cancelled, consumers and retailers may continue to make contributions to Operation: Cigars For Warriors to ensure that deployed soldiers and sailors will continue to receive the cigars, cigar accessories and other items they want.
