Does anyone know what these nannystate assclowns are actually going to do to us regarding pipe tobacco?
Is the 2007 date going to stick? Are internet sales going to go away?

It certainly doesn't look good
I got this in an email this morning...
sadly, due to some new regulations that are coming, his [Russ's] monthly blends are going away.
And then there's this...
...the FDA wants to impose the arbitrary date of February 15, 2007 as the date at which existing items would be grandfathered in. Any product that was introduced after that date would have to go through testing and approval. What does that mean to you? From the pipe perspective, all of our Hearth & Home Marquee series would vanish, along with newer blends from around the world.
