PER WEBSITE:
FDA regulations will force manufacturers to spend upwards of six-figures just to get new a blend approved. Your favorite boutique cigar brands will wither and die, leaving only the largest manufacturers to introduce a new blend or two per year.
Don't expect to sample those new blends, either: free samples will be illegal, as well as cigar events. And even if you're brave enough to buy a box sight unseen, the FDA is likely to mandate near-zero levels of nicotine. How do you suppose THAT cigar will taste?
Surely the Founding Fathers are spinning in their graves! When a government acts against its citizens' interests, it's time to make your voice heard. Urge your Senator and Representative to support the Traditional Cigar Manufacturing and Small Business Jobs Preservation Act today, and stop the FDA from

What exactly is a flavored cigar? Those should be banned just on principle.
Please tell me this is a joke.............even if it’s not.

I was a big cigar fan, till I started Vaping. Much better tasting, and no nitrosamines. I tried to smoke a cigar last week, and I couldn’t handle it.
Anyway, I know some will only want the real deal anyway, but that’s been my experience, thought I’d share.
I admit to loving the light up process and puffing it to get it going, but that is mostly my obsession w/fire I think :)
I’ve never smoked so much as a single cigar or cigarette in my life, and I find this anti-smoking hysteria to be absurd.
You've obviously neverhad a good Drew Estate cigar. The tobaccos are aged in various spices, and result in some very unique, distinctive sticks.

Was pretty good actually....I'd buy one again.
“Vaping”?
Electronic cigarettes. You don’t smoke them, you “vape” them. It’s basically water vapor with nicotine in it. Hence, “to vape.”
Acid Kuba Kuba for one ...
Done.
My wife has graduated to nicotine-free vapors.
She tried to quit smoking for 35 years, nothing worked.
The electric cigarettes helped her to stop almost immediately.
Good stuff.
Federal Government - destroying business since 2008.
if you smoke Drew Estate Acid cigars you’re....
...man, whatever, those things are fem and nasty.
Drew Estate..... yes sir! Big fan. I fervently hope the FDA does not attack cigars. I expect they will, since that’s what government does... attack freedom and private property. You never know, Obama’s fighting for his life. If he was smart, he’d have his bureaucrats scale back on this type of foolishness.
Electronic cigarettes saved my life. I haven’t had an “analog” cigarette in over two years.
And our inillustrious Congress is doing what, exactly?
