    Any cigar name that also looks like “Didler” I’m out…

    That used to be a lucrative practice for medical doctors.

    From a CRA email...

    WASHINGTON, DC (April 15, 2026) - Today, Judge Amit P. Mehta issued a ruling that finally resolves Cigar Rights of America’s (CRA) long-fought battle against the U.S. Food & Drug Administration’s (FDA) overregulation with an unprecedented and total win for our industry. The judge has decided that premium cigars will remain outside the scope of FDA regulation at this time and that the exemption will apply only to truly premium products. 

    The ruling marks the final chapter in a series of court proceedings that began after Judge Mehta vacated FDA’s application of its tobacco regulatory framework to premium cigars in August of 2023, finding that the agency failed to justify treating premium cigars the same as mass-market tobacco products.

    "Only to truly premium cigars" sounds ominous.

    This one is interesting, must weigh more than 6 pounds per 1000 units...

    (6 * 452) / 1000 = 2.7 grams per cigar

    My Surrogates Cracker Crumbs 4 1/2 x 38 petite weights 7 grams. Shouldn't be an issue.

    That's my disagree, and it's a shame. I think that size is the exact size they're worried about when they're trying to draw the line between premium and non-premium cigars.
