Where's Garme? All we need to do is put him on TV, he would get all those votes, plus the disabled, syphilitic midget votes too!

In all seriousness, I have heard that the FDA pulled a giant bait-and-switch on this issue, they pushed everyone to claim exemptions for "premium" cigars, regardless of price, now they are saying "well, since those are "PREMIUM" cigars, we need to add a new and higher sin tax!" My local B&M is forecasting either 50% pre-sale taxes, or giving up tobacco entirely, just throwing in the towel and turning into a marijuana dispensary (which the FDA hasn't figured out how to F-with YET...)
