Protect the Future of Premium Cigars

Thursday, May 23rd, marked a critical juncture in our ongoing effort to safeguard the premium cigar industry. The United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has submitted its response brief in their ongoing appeal of the decision last year in which we won the right to exempt premium cigars from FDA regulation.

This battle began with a significant victory for premium cigars on August 9, 2023, when Judge Amit Mehta ruled in favor of the CRA-led lawsuit, striking down all FDA regulations on premium cigars. This decision was a monumental win for our industry, recognizing the unique nature of premium cigars and the need to protect them from overreaching regulations.

However, our fight is far from over. The FDA has made it clear that their intention is to fight Judge Mehta’s ruling to the Supreme Court. The FDA’s filing is the last step in this high-stakes appeals process before oral arguments begin later this year. While we remain confident in the strength of Judge Mehta’s ruling, we must continue to take this fight to the FDA and Congress while also defending the industry in court. Your continued support is crucial to protect your enjoyment of premium cigars.

This case is a significant victory for us but is not the end. The decision, if upheld, will protect us for some time, but it does not prevent FDA from re-regulating us in the future, and they have been clear that they will attempt it in the coming years.

HOW YOU CAN HELP:

Donate: Your financial support is crucial. CRA has spent over ten million dollars to reach this point. Every contribution helps us sustain this legal battle and protect our industry.

Spread the Word: Share this message with your network. Community awareness and support are vital.

Stay Informed: Follow us for updates on this case and other industry news. An informed community is our strongest ally.

Your support is more important now than ever. Together, we can protect the future of premium cigars and ensure our cherished traditions continue for generations to come.
