This will hurt even some of the big boys, if you have a favorite cigar made after to 2007 buy them up while you can.
As I sit here in The Corner Of No Hope I can’t help but find myself feeling a little… hopeless. As I mentioned briefly on our last podcast episode, the US Food and Drug Administration has recently put its giant soulless bureaucratic boot heel on the neck of the premium cigar industry. All cigars introduced into the marketplace after February 15, 2007 will be subject to FDA approval and regulations. Their logic is illogical (there is obviously NO difference between a cigar made prior to 2007 and one produced after 2007 – NONE), their claims are mostly false (children and teenagers are NOT strolling into tobacco shops and buying premium cigars), it’s so damn hard to make sense of the nonsensical when it comes to this mess that I believe most of us brothers and sisters of the leaf are left with our heads spinning. We’re looking for proposed solutions, looking for industry leadership to let us know exactly how they’re going to combat this injustice (lawsuits?), we are looking for answers. But as of today all we as consumers have is a slew of petitions to sign, a march on Washington is being planned, and that’s about as far as it goes. As with anything like this, conspiracy theories are zooming across social media right and left:

Puffing on a Romeo y Julieta Short Churchills (not sure of vintage) so creamy and smooth.
