Spend even a little time around cigars and you'll see and hear the word "fine" used to describe some of them—many of them, most likely, if you're spending that time around premium cigar sellers and smokers of premium cigars. There's no specific Continue reading the story "Fine, Just Fine – A post by Cigars Direct"

From IPCPR: "HR2 Looks to Move Smoothly Through House, Slower in Senate Congress has introduced the reauthorization of the SCHIP bill--HR2. The cigar tax proposal is as follows: 52.4 percent on large cigars (most premium cigars follow under this federal classification) with a cap of no more than 40 (forty) cents per cigar. This is far lower than the original proposal from the Senate of $10 per cigar and $3 proposed by the House. This has been a long, tough fight for all of us, and considering we are still being hit with a tax increase on cigars, our industry feels the proposed Continue reading the story "2009 SCHIP Bill Introduced: $.52 cigar tax per cigar."

It was really cold in my garage that day though and I don't have a Continue reading the story "Cabiguan Belicoso Fino Quick Cigar Review"
