I love cigars and everything, but you can’t act like second hand smoke doesn’t do any detrimental damage to the lungs. Is it even worth the risk on the children?

If you’re worried about your kids or yourself inhaling secondhand smoke then don’t patronize private bars/restaurants that offer smoking accommodations—whether inside or outside. Even in locations without a government smoking ban, there are plenty of nonsmoking establishments available to choose from. The market has provided them because the demand exists.

But once a prohibitive law is passed, all choice and freedom goes out the window.

Thousands of American motorists and pedestrians die every year due to automobile accidents. Is it even worth the risk to the nation? This is a public health issue.

I say we band together and force Washington to criminalize the act of driving. No cars. No trucks. No deaths.

The fact that Altadis even filed lawsuits against Tatuaje (for using the very common Fleur de Lys symbol) and DPG (for actually having the temerity to use his last name as part of the name of his company) is ridiculous. They are the big guys with lots of cash and big-money lawyers so they took it upon themselves to harass the little guys who are actually making a splash in the cigar world.

If Altadis was so concerned about Tatuajes using the brown and white labeling along with a fleur de lys, why did they not file this suit 5 years ago when Tatuaje first hit the market? Frivolous. Altadis should be punished for this spectacle. I say boycott…of course, that would assume anyone reading this blog actually purchases a lot of Altadis merch to begin with.
