I understand that some of us have pretty deep cellars, and may not feel the need to bother...had this move been afoot 20 years ago, I doubt that the same attitude would be entertained.....we need to be proactive in this regard, as if we just entered the pipe smoking hobby ourselves. The internet tools at hand make it easier than preparing a bowl of tobacco, and having worked at lobbying legislatures, I can tell you that our efforts are worthwhile.
It only takes a few minutes of your time, click the enthusiasts option:
Yeah...it deals with cigars, but we are in this together.

The average age of a pipe tobacco consumer is 58 years old. Youth use of pipe tobacco is nearly nonexistent. Yet, that hasn’t stopped local and state legislators from seeking to ban flavored pipe tobacco too. And all pipe tobacco is flavored, so these bills could wipe out an entire product line and force tobacco specialty shops to close their doors.
This week IPCPR will be on the Hill advocating for the premium cigar industry. Specifically, we will be meeting with over a dozen offices in the House of Representatives discussing H.R. 1854. This bill is crucial to the fight for our industry and we need your help in getting this message across to Congress.
This bill defines premium cigars for the federal government and exempts them from the current onerous FDA regulations. In order to be effective in our meetings, we need you to take a minute and contact your Representative urging them to Co-Sponsor H.R. 1854. Forward this action alert link to your employees, regular customers, and post it on social media for an even greater result.
IPCPR will continue to update you on issues affecting the premium cigar industry from time to time. Please keep in mind that taking action when you receive one of these alerts is very important because timing means everything when communicating with government. If you have any questions about this legislation or our advocacy efforts, feel free to contact me at your convenience. Thank you for all that you do to support the premium cigar industry.
Respectfully,
Joshua Habursky
