It's just the suits in Washington bullying a niche that isn't properly represented. All people associate tobacco lovers with cigarette smokers, the worst possible comparison. We need to organize & fight it with a petition, or else this noble hobby will disappear on US soil.
Who's ready to move to Cuba? They are going to start building McDonalds & Starbucks now that the restrictions have been lifted. If things get to outrageous here we can always move & start a community there!
I've wondered about this as well...there are a ton blends that have been reintroduced post 2007...or who have switched manufacturers...Quote:

What's really going to hurt is my cigars...I don't really buy a ton of them at a time so my stash isn't super deep....and I smoke a lot of post 2007 sticks...
All the more reason to fall into the CC death pit I guess.

Then again it just might bring back fond memories for Jeremy and entourage in Philly.
I assume the same will apply to blending tobaccos.
Wondering about whole leaf distributors.
Some good news, I read that the FDA doesn't seem to care about pipes themselves. So artisans and pipe carvers should still be able to take part in their trade....

I figured as much. They don't really 'regulate' dope pipes and all that associated paraphernalia either. Never really did. It's the weed itself they go after. I figured it would be the same with tobacco once they got their claws around that. Besides, what idiot couldn't hollow out a corncob if he were sitting on 200# of tobacco and only lacking a pipe? That's why my evasive maneuvers thus far have focused on acquiring tobacco - not pipes.Quote:

The fine print goes after coils, metals, and batteries specifically (vape/ecig market)
As matter of fact, we have it pretty easy. The FDA is going to abolish vaping.
