I just ordered some cigars...and called my Congressman.

Our regulators have become a fourth branch of government. The checks and balances don’t apply to them; there is no bill of rights to protect you once they turn their gaze upon you. Their word is supreme law of the land.

Unless and until we rein them in, freedom has already died in America. The monarchy has already returned, except they wear business casual.

You may not like tobacco but it is a good “canary in the coal mine” indicator. If you can’t have a cigarrette with your coffee at the local diner, if you can’t enjoy a cigar unmolested at your local bar... not because the owner of the establishment doesn’t like it, but because a regulator who doesn’t even eat there doesn’t like it, then you are not a free man and neither is anyone else.

whats the problem here?

The government says that tobacco is bad for you, you are incapable of deciding what to put into your body, so we will do it for you?

same with pot, alcohol, raw milk, firearms, freon and so on and so on...

restriction of just one item leads to the restriction of any and all items the fed sees fit to restrict..

New restrictions on marketing will demand dumbed-down, black and white advertisements. Because, as adults, we simply can't handle full color advertisements

Didn't they already put in restrictions against "cartoonish" figures in tobacco ads and no glossy paper years ago against cigarette companies?

Never understood how Joe "Nutsack" Camel was a "cartoon character". What was the joke? What was the plot of any of those ads? They were just airbrushed illustrations.

To me, the whole thing would never pass a first amendment Constitutional challenge.

Teachers are pushing the indoctrination of kindergarteners into knowledge of homosexual relations (and teaching fifth graders about oral and anal sex) and yet the big bugaboo is "deadly tobacco" so much so that the WAY it is advertised is censored.

Down is up, wrong is right. The inmates run the asylum.

I’m a pipe and occasional cigar smoker. I’m with you.

Is there a Cigar Dave page on here?? If not there SHOULD be...

www.CigarDave.com is the website...

I just cut and pasted the message to my feckless congressional democrat rep. Mike Honda for all the good it'll do. What a lump. Also sent it to Sen. Feinsteen, she may be sympathetic, but she's also a big nanny-stater - a great matter is now before her - LOL.

Her website only allows a 500 character message, so I had to chop it to almost nothing.
