Will the Premium Cigars You Enjoy Today Be Around Tomorrow?

For consumers, premium cigars represent a lifestyle, provide relaxation, and create opportunities to meet new people. For retailers and manufacturers, premium cigars are a generations-old family legacy that supports their livelihood, as well as that of so many others around them. Unfortunately, premium cigars are under attack from the FDA and over-generalized legislation meant to target cigarettes and other non-premium products.

Worried about the places where you can enjoy cigars?

How are taxes affecting cigar prices?

Could your cigar business be destroyed by federal regulations you know nothing about?

Would you like to stay up to date on premium cigar news?
