Default Re: Mail Order Cigar Companies Will Be Out Of Business....

I fear that most politicians will simply follow the script laid out for them and not seriously be swayed by letters from us lowly "smokers". I couldn't imagine any number of letters or promises to vote for the other guy could ever persuade the liberal senators of my state to see reason.
I'm sending my letters out, too, but I fear it will make absolutely no difference. Their mind is controlled by their socialist notions of Big Brother, and in their world-view, people like us just don't seem to fit in.


I don't smoke chemical sticks myself, but is it still legal to purchase cigarettes online? I imagine that the draconian measures taken against cigarette smokers will serve as a model against cigar hobbyist.

I have sent mine email as well but no response back only spam as others have posted. My only hope is that cigars can be presented in a way that no loopholes exist that will allow a comparison to cigarettes, with companies such as Thompson Cigars selling "Cigars" with filters in cigarette packs I am not very optimistic for our future, not to mention the politics in D.C in general. If this does get passed is there a time limit for the measure to be imposed? What will happen next?

I received a reply from Sen. Levin, who told me of legislation pending that would take the teeth, if you will, out of this FDA abomination. Didn't hear back from Stabenow. Rep. Dingell sounded like he supports the FDA regs. He never gets my vote, anyways.

So did Sen. Levin say if he was for or against the measure?
