FDA to cripple cigar industry


Badfish

Recommended Posts

In short the FDA has already passed issue 1 regarding several tobacco products including cigars.  The effect on the U.S. market will be devastating.  Basically every blend a company wants to take to market will have to be cleared/tested by the FDA  this is at the expense of the producer.  Expense per test is said to be between 100k and 200k dollars, and can take over two years to complete.  So say goodbye to boutique and short run cigars.  In addition all infused/flavored cigars will be outlawed completely.  So that ACID or coffee infused stick you enjoy from time to time will be no more.    So even if your favorite smoke is popular/profitable enough to stay in production, imagine what this will do to the cost.  If you enjoy your stogies then go to cigarrights.org and sign the petition(s) .  To clarify:  This has already passed, and all efforts are to overturn their decision.  

 

I was getting excited about the possibility of Cuban cigars coming back to the U.S. market, and this bologna happens.

As a person who enjoys Acid's it's interesting to see what happens here. I get that they are trying to stop the cheap cigars at gas stations, but dang that's going to hurt the actual legitimate cigar lovers.

Its funny...rolling papers (even flavored ones) are completely acceptable.  Insert political rant (highlighting that government wasn't in our humidor so they decided to fix that) here :ph34r:
