Did not think about new regs affecting donations to troops. Why is this not a media point? "FDA hates the troops!"LLA - Lancero Lovers of America2 -

GRRR!! S#!**$! & #$%*&%!! Sorry, but it had to be said.
What the hell is it with Congress and the U.S. Government in general, anyway? Every Jack@ss running for office, from dog-catcher on up, seems to think their job is to enforce some sort of morality code on the public.
WRONG!!!
The only morality codes most thinking citizens want enforced are those regarding things like theft, murder, fraud etc. But no, these morons want laws about 32 oz drinks, who's in what bathroom stall, whether there should be salt on the table at a restaurant, menthol in cigarettes, your sex life, blah blah blah.
Will they ever get back to what they're supposed to be doing? Hello?
ROADS. SCHOOLS. KEEPING CORPORATIONS FROM TURNING WORKERS INTO SLAVES.
That's what I'd like to see, anyway.

The so-called "Deeming" regulation affecting cigars is number 55 on this list of regs for the next administration to eliminate...

Good read.
I like the comments at the end. Someone wanted to know why Rocky wasn't interviewed, since he was the one to save the industry. 0 -
Go Rocky! Go!
All kidding aside, I do appreciate anything Rocky (or anyone else) can do to keep premium cigars out of the same category as "lesser" types of tobacco when it comes to the new restrictions. Gotta educate the ignorant authorities and Rocky seems to be a positive force on this front.0 -

Small win, but a win nonetheless. This is the key:
Mehta’s decision will force FDA to define what constitutes a “premium cigar,” something that will likely be more impactful than the warning label ruling itself.
To date, FDA has declined to define a premium cigar and given Mehta’s decision, it seems likely that other parts of FDA regulations could be modified or removed for premium cigars. Last month, FDA itself hinted at premium cigars, but described them as “relatively expensive, large hand-rolled cigars that do not have flavors (e.g., fruit, candy, or mint)…” The agency said those cigars were its “lowest priority.”
And the key to that phrase is relatively expensive. If they define relatively expensive is $20, then it's a loss. If they define it at 5 bucks, that's better. But I think the days of $15 fivers on cbid might be over.
If that's the case, a lot of these brands will either go away completely, or will be the new base price by which all other cigars are judged. That will make everything expensive. If the brands go away, my worry was that is the companies will be tempted to give value names to those everyday brands, and overall product quality will go down.
