What does the end of the deeming rule mean for mom & pop shops of the cigar industry? A lot. And there is a lot to celebrate. The cigar industry IS small business and as Glen Loope of the Premium Cigar Association explains, the cost of compliance would have devastated the thousands of local shops and lounges across America. ****** SUBSCRIBE to the Eat Drink Smoke podcast! https://eatdrinksmoke.fireside.fm/ JOIN the Eat Drink Smoke Lounge!

It's not just a win, it's a HUGE win for the cigar industry. Judge Amit Mehta, who just last year declared regulations from the Food and Drug Administration on the cigar industry "arbitrary and capricious," has now dismissed the Deeming Rule the FDA attempted to put in place. The Deeming Rule stated that cigars can be regulated by the FDA just like cigarettes are. Of course, anyone who smokes premium cigars can tell you how insane that is. Josh Habursky, Deputy Executive Director of the Premium Cigar Association and Glynn Loope, State Advocacy Director of the Premium Cigar Association, explain what this rule means for the industry, for your local cigar lounge and for any small business dealing with onerous regulations.
