Hmmm... I thought there would be some comments on this. A group in Washington trying to circumvent the FDA killing cigar stuff....

With the amount of tobacco lobbyists in Washington, it is amazing these bills get through. Here's to this one flopping...hopefully and the protests succeeding.

Exactly.

Cigarette guys behind it because it hits the vape industry, which the big players didn't figure out in time to play ball. Not unlike the craft beer thing. The big players brushed it off, then they fought it by ensuring difficulty in distribution, and now are buying up successful craft breweries. Plus it hits the roll your own bit of the market by regulating what's called "pipe tobacco" but is unfit for a pipe.

I truly hope this falls.

Remember though, our little corner really isn't the target. But the inability to objectively define what we enjoy, sucked us into the bill.

I think there will be a way to carve us out of the group. I just hope someone figures it out soon.

If not, guess I'll do what "the man" wanted in the first place and quit buying American market tobacco.

Thank God for the Internet and international commerce

All cigars existed before 2007 methinks.

Just argue the genetics existed prior to planting the seed and essentially that'd what we're consuming.

Ha!!
I wish.
But I am getting frustrated in that I cannot for the life of me find a list of all cigars released after Feb 2007.
I know its a BIG list......2,000+, or even 3.000+......but it HAS to be somewhere.

Think

Maybe "WE" don't want that list published?
Don't want to make it too easy for the Feds.
Might actually be hard for the Feds to determine, for many releases I'm guessing, just when they were actually released.

There's gonna be all kinds hocus-pocus going on in the next few years.

If things really turn chitty, I'll grow my own, and switch to a corn cob pipe.
