Let's give Casa Del Habano St Martin a hand

[El Presidente]

Carol started the La casa Del Habano in 1995 it is located on the French side.  She skrimped and saved to get it done and developed a loyal clientelle from around the world including members from FOH. Carole loves cigars and loves her clients.  She was proud of what her and her husband had developed. Life was good. 

....and then hurricane Irma hit September 17.  Carol lost everything. 

Four months later and the insurance assessors still haven't come back to her. The store is a writeoff. What the flooding didn't get, the collapsed ceiling did. 

While she is hopefull of rebuilding her LCDH, right now she is struggling to make ends meet. 

Can we give her a hand?

 

I will put up a  box of one of my favourite cigars in the Saint Luis Rey Lonsdale APE JUL 01.  They are perfectly rolled. 

 

Every $10 donation gets a ticket in the draw for it. If you donate $50, you receive 5 tickets.

Donation is to be made to Caroles PayPal account: [email protected]

*Do not mention tobacco/Cuba or anything else. Just 

Donation: Irma Relief Fund : Name: Joh Blogs : FOH Handle: Generous bastard.  

Carol will provide me a summary of contributors February 28th and we will draw the winner on the 1st of March. 

i hope you can lend a hand

[El Presidente]

Euro is the currency used in St Martin (French Side). 

[LordAnubis]

Ok so we can pay the account in euros so she doesn’t get hit with conversion fees

Done, E50 

 

Good luck....

[GrouchoMarx]

How does one do this without a PP account?

[alloy]

Done. I couldn't help but send 100 Euro. That looked catastrophic. Let's hope the donations help to start put Carol back on her feet.

[Arctic Dude]

Just sent 20 Euros! Good luck, Carol!! Well done @El Presidente! 

[GrouchoMarx]

I'd like to send - but I don't need (or want) a paypay account.

[BuzzArd]

Saw this early this am, Prez.  Had a chance to send some Irma relief just now.  Godspeed, Carol. One day I'll visit and would love to see her back up and running. 

[Guantanamera]

Done. All the best to Carol in her effort to reopen her shop. Glad I was able to help and hopefully one day be able to visit.

[Duffer]

What a nice shop Carol built.  What a shame.  I'm more than happy to help out.  Best of luck Carol

PayPal is a pathetic whiny arsed operation. The day a competitor or competing technology leaves them as road buffet is the day I will open up a magnum of Krug. 

This is a donation. 

[gusto616]

$20 donation sent = €15.59

Hope to be able to visit them one day when they re-open.
