Default Mail order cigars under fire! DOH!

This breaks it down

Stinks that they snuck in some verbage that will affect cigar smokers as well. Hopefully this will get it's verbage updated vs passed. You can save a alot of money by buying your cigars online and have a greater selection.

I buy a few gars here and there locally but go online for my boxes and larger cigar purchases.

I agree. I was told the cigar manufactures were getting involved in this as well. I am saving some serious money ordering online.

This bites, but I find it odd that the site I use, famous-smoke, doesn't appear to have a word about it on their website?
I scored a sweet deal on a humidor, trimmer, ashtray, humidifier solution and two handfuls of smokes for less money than it would have cost to build my own humidor.

<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica">Cigars International does not have a message either. :whazzup:

Only site I've seen with a note about this is JR Cigars.

You'd think all of them would have some kind of note so their users would write letters since they'll all be affected.

Stinky:

I finally found out where you got your moniker! :grin:

If I came home, smelled one and saw one on the floor, I'd probably kick the **** outa the dog!

Seriously, I dont care for them much. My wife loves them -- they smell like her grandfather. :smile:

Even more seriously: jest funnin' with ya. No offense intended.

What's the motivation, here?

To protect our children?

I've heard that high-school kids mail-ordering cigars off the 'net is a HUGE PROBLEM

I buy about 2 cigars a year, and I like to meet them in person.

<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica">I never thought about it much I guess, I've never met a teen that liked cigars. I know that Cigarettes may be a problem. I realize your probably being sarcastic... But if it came down to it, I'd be willing to send a mail order company a copy of my drivers license, just to prove I was legal. The savings would make it worthwhile...

I guess they could be buying cigars off of the net and making 'Blunts' out of them... ??
