Cool article and attached video on how a cigar get's box-pressed. Not what I had expected.
Thought I'd share...

Funny....I was just sitting here thinking that I did not have enough government oversight in my life.
FDA Chooses Option 1, Will Regulate Premium Cigars | halfwheel
For those of you who enjoy good premium cigars, this is REALLY bad.

Yea, I think the only ones happy about that ruling is big tobacco companies, like Marlboro.

Tonight in protest is the FDA, I smoke the Crux Limitada PB5. One of many cigars that will not exist if the government had their way.
Also a cigar that you will not find on the big internet sites - the same sites who are doing nothing to fight this ruling.
Tomorrow I begin cycling through my collection of more limited cigars - those are gone too.

Smoked a couple of new to me sticks over the weekend.
The first was an EP Carrillo Perez-Carrillo La Historia. It was extremely well constructed and a nice difference from the usual Inch cigars he is more known for. It smoked well, producing lots of smoke.
The next was a CAO Flathead 660. This burned nicely, but the ash seemed to not hold well, at most only an inch. I'm not sure I agree with the number three ranking from Cigar Afficiando. It had a nice flavor but there's better cigars out there for the price.

I agree with your disagreement. There are few CAO's that I actually enjoy. That said, something about the Brazilia does good things for my taste buds.

CRA Launches New Congressional & White House Petition Regarding FDA Final Rule On Premium Cigars - this is VERY bad for small business cigar shops. Most irritating to me is that it does not affect "on line" so there is little to nothing on sites like JR and CI about this.
Has everyone signed the CRA petition ?
Please do so if not!
Write your Congressman
Write the White House
I've done a little internet sleuthing and found that General and Altidas have not lifted a finger to fight this. And for the most part, your favorite online retailers will pretty much be left alone. Gee I wonder who owns the popular online sticks?

We will be looking for an extensive AAR!
If you're going to do it, do it enjoying beer you can't get back home (Cigar City Jai Alai) while smoking your second favorite cigar.
