It goes to the charities of the families. Someone told me that the families are already millionaires and their children's college is already paid off.

I have seen people write on the cap of the cigar with a pen. I have received some gifted CC's where the year was hand written on the cap. But that was also on lighter colored wrappers (Boli CJ, PSD4)

True, I guess I don't know what the actual cost of production on these is, was just wondering if there was more room in there for charity.

Thanks for clearing that up, I knew it had something to do with the families. After seeing that 10 Years Later documentary I wish there was more help out there for the first responders and clean-up crew that seem to be getting sick now from all the toxins at Ground Zero.

I spoke with Jose Ortega who is the president of My Father Cigars at an event last weekend. He said that they don't make any money on these cigars and that they just did it because it went to a good cause and he couldn't tell the guy who had the idea no.

Now, I don't believe that My Father makes no money on the deal. Just passing along what I heard.

...not to completely de-rail the topic, but I use a sharpie to write on the cello...but on the extra cello that extends past the foot. Then, I leave the cigars on my desk for an hour or two, then back in the humi. No residual smell, never a problem.

I did the same with these cigars. I don't smell the Sharpie either.
