Many offices have charity drives this time of year, some of which are more elaborate than others. Ours is one of those that tuns into a competition where each division tries to raise more money than everyone else with various fund-raisers. A lot of these wind up being traditional events, like bake sales or used book sales, but there are also more social affairs like chili cook-offs and happy hours.
For this year's fund-raising drive, I'm suggesting something involving cigars.
For a nominal fee, 100% of which will be given to the charity, I'll donate some cigar bundles and the necessary accessories for an afternoon in the courtyard outside our building. Everyone can enjoy a premium cigar and relax for some small portion of the afternoon, and if we combine that with a bake sale or wine sale it could raise quite a bit of cash.
Your office may not be quite that into the holiday charity drive, but there are other ways to make cigars part of your charitable giving. If your child's school holds a silent auction, for example, the Classic Cherry Combo may be something that generates interest. It will likely fetch more than the $45 price tag, and because it includes both cigars and a humidor it is appealing to novice smokers as well as experienced ones.
I'm optimistic that my cigar day idea will be approved. After all, do we really need another bake sale this December? Aren't we all eating plenty of desserts on our own, between the Halloween candy, the pumpkin pie, and the Christmas cookies? I'm thinking folks might view cigars as a nice change of pace.
