Stogie Guys Friday Sampler No. 451

9 Oct 2015

As we have since July 2006, each Friday we’ll post a mixed bag of quick cigar news and other items of interest. Below is our latest Friday Sampler.

CT Tobacco Farm1) Add the premium tobacco growers in Connecticut to the list of groups who are interested in dismantling the longstanding trade embargo with Cuba. According to a recent article, “Connecticut tobacco farmers are looking for new markets in Cuba” now that diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Cuba have taken steps towards normalcy. “Tobacco is Connecticut’s fifth largest agriculture product by market value, at $35.7 million, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The crop is grown on 49 farms and accounts for 6.5 percent of total agricultural product sales in the state.” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) is co-sponsor of the Freedom to Export to Cuba Act.

2) Carmel, California, is on the verge of passing one of the strictest smoking bans in the nation. “With unanimous support for the ordinance Tuesday, it would appear the ban will be approved,” reports the Monterey County Herald. “It covers all tobacco products, and includes e-cigarettes, medical marijuana, and smokeless tobacco. Smoking would only be allowed inside a residence or in a car… Smoking, should the ordinance be approved, would be considered an infraction. After three infractions, it could be charged as a misdemeanor.”
