Also from StogieGuys:
From the Archives: It’s hard to believe, but it has been over eight years since the launch of Cigar Rights of America. At the time, the organization’s stated goals were “to fight unjustified tax increases and halt smoking bans.” As it has become necessary, however, on the federal level much of the attention quickly turned to the FDA regulations that were authorized by Congress only weeks later.
....not much success I would say...
