The IPCPR is weighing in on a Washington D. C. proposal to ban the sale of single cigars in the District. There is a meeting/public hearing on September 29, 2009 at the John A. Wilson Building.

It's getting ridiculous.

if that's actually true and becomes nationwide, I think that would put out most B and M's. It's the only reason I go to B and M's anymore. I've never bought a box from one but I go there to sample cigars all the time to figure what to buy in boxes.

Wish I could smack these people.

This came up in Baltimore a while back as well. As I recall they were targeting the sale of black and milds and phillies type products sold mainly at convenience stores. Fine hand rolleds may have been exempt but I don't think they were able to pass this in MD.

At least not yet.

"The open ended Bill would ban the sale of individual cigars or cigar products that might be used to introduce marijuana into the human body."

This is exactly the sort of legislative 'reasoning' that lays bare the absurd thought processes that often precede such measures. Never mind that I instinctively cringe whenever I read the word 'prohibition' in the title of legislation that affects legitimate consumer products.

Do you know how much stuff we'd have to ban if we wanted to remove all products that might introduce marijuana into the human body? Cans, bottles, aluminum foil, wood, etc

You left out snow. Snowballs will work if you got nothing else.

Ban paper money, it can be used to introduce cocaine into the body.

Not to mention - If I just scored a bag of gonga at $100+ a bag I wouldn't mind buying a fiver of blunts.
