CIGAR EXEMPTION NOT INCLUDED IN OMNIBUS APPROPRIATIONS BILL
Bastiges!
What are the projected bottom line price increases?
Double + and will probably bankrupt the few small boutique rollers that are left now. Every new cigar (and a different vitola is a new cigar) will have to go through months of FDA Approval testing before coming on the market, could take year to develop and retail even a new vitola. Also the B&M will not be able to have "open" walk-in humidors for you to browse in. Likely to add some taxes or fees on also.
Edit: the rules are already written and ready to be implemented as early as later this month or the first few months of 2016.
