88 TOBACCO BUSINESS | MARCH / APRIL | 22 The EC will have access to all of the CFW volunteer staff to ask for input and ideas. Every store is different and each has different types of customers, but there are ideas that almost always work for all the shops. These are ideas that will cost store owners and managers very little other than time or energy. Being an official donation center will also make your store eligible to sell any of the CFW Synergy products that are available. These special limited edition cigars will give your customers another reason to go to your shop. These special items will also give you something new to promote to bring in returning and new customers. Each year, six different manufacturers will produce a CFW cigar, and 100 percent of the profits made from these cigars will go to CFW. The program is designed to make it very easy for retailers to get these limited edition products. There are no contracts, and the minimum amount to buy is 40 cigars in whatever format they come in. So far, the first two CFW Synergy cigars sold out of their 2021 stock very quickly. Both Hiram& Solomon and Caldwell’s 2022 stock will be released by the time you are reading this article. Coming out on Valentine’s Day was CFW By Oscar, a cigar made by Oscar Valaderas, the third CFWexclusive cigar. This is a phenomenal cigar with very cool and unique packaging. There is also an amazing CFW coffee called Integrity that donation centers can sell. Other products are coming down the pipeline, including special swag and CBD, so keep reading our articles, checking our social media and paying attention to CFW’s monthly newsletter. In the next issue of this publication, CFW will discuss some of the techniques you can use to make money using CFW, many of which we have never gone over before. They will be simple, cost-free and very effective techniques. As always, thank you for your support of our deployed troops. #Live2Serve. TB Storm Boen, Chairman, Operation: Cigars for Warriors
