Ed McKenna, senior brand manager for CAO Cigars said, \u201cOver the past several years, we\u2019ve been involved with Operation Surf in small ways, and we wanted to make a push to help out in a much bigger way via CAO Honor. The work that the folks at Operation Surf do in helping wounded heroes cope with physical injuries and PTSD through surfing is incredibly impactful, and we are proud to contribute.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are grateful to CAO for their support,\u201d said ASA President and Founder Van Curaza. \u201cThis donation will provide the funding needed to hold more surf clinics for our active duty military and veteran heroes, thereby allowing us to continue providing a life-changing experience for them, one wave at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n
CAO Honor is a limited edition cigar handcrafted in Nicaragua. A bold smoke with pronounced notes of leather and spice, CAO Honor is now available at cigar shops across the U.S. This limited edition release comes packaged in a 14-count box that prominently features the stars and stripes. The cigars will sell for $8.50 apiece at retail, or $119 for a box.<\/p>\n
Working with the Brooke Army Medical Center, Help for Heroes and the EOD Warrior Foundation, ASA provides brave men and women the opportunity to experience adaptive rehabilitative and recreational recovery through surfing, camaraderie and an unforgettable experience. The seven-day event includes five days of surf instruction.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo matter what your injury is,\u201d said thirty-seven year old Jason M., \u201cit\u2019s nice to know you can be successful at a sport. Participating in Operation Surf helped me realize that my brain injury and paralysis don\u2019t limit my dreams. Just a bump in the road. Keep doing what you\u2019re doing with the clinic; it was a great stepping stone for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
