Judge Smacks Down the FDA over Cigar Regulations

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. And as the host of the largest cigar and bourbon review radio program in the United States, Tony Katz can explain it better than most.

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.
