I don't know what rabbit hole I was following, but I ended up coming across this FDA warning letter to E.A. Carey's from 2015:
http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/2015/ucm446850.htm
These jackholes are proposing Dunhill, Peterson, etc among these other brands are seriously under the guise of cigarette tobacco...
"We note that on your website, you present loose tobacco products containing the package description “pipe tobacco”but that are offered for sale or distributed as cigarette tobacco and/or roll-your-own tobacco, including E.A. Carey, Captain Black, Mac Baren, Smoker’s Pride, Peterson, Dunhill, and Erik Stokkebye. The overall presentation of these products on your website strongly suggests that they are intended for use in a cigarette, likely to be offered to consumers for making cigarettes, and/or likely to be purchased by consumers for making cigarettes."
Oh yeah...and they're not only cigarette tobaccos, but FLAVORED cigarette tobaccos!
"Flavored Cigarette Violations
Additionally,our review of your website, http://www.eacarey.com, revealed that you offer for sale the following flavored cigarette tobacco and/or roll-your-own tobacco products, including, but not limited to: 50th Anniversary Pipe Tobacco (chocolate and vanilla), Cream Cherry Pipe Tobacco (cherry, vanilla), Black Currant Pipe Tobacco (black currant, apple), Berries & Crème Pipe Tobacco (raspberry), Cinnamon Pipe Tobacco (cinnamon, vanilla, spices), Europa Pipe Tobacco (wild berry), Irish Cream Pipe Tobacco (mocha and vanilla), Smoker’s Pride Vanilla Cavendish Loose Pipe Tobacco, Captain Black Pipe Tobacco Cherry, Mac Baren Vanilla Flake Pipe Tobacco, Peterson Sweet Killarney Pipe Tobacco Tin (caramel), Dunhill My Mixture 965 Pipe Tobacco (Chocolate), Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Aromatic Holiday 2 Pack Pipe Tobacco Tins (vanilla, honey), Stanwell Vanilla Pipe Tobacco 50g Tin (vanilla), Cherry Bomb Flavours Pipe Tobacco by CAO (cherry, vanilla, black currant), Eileen’s Dream Flavours Pipe Tobacco by CAO (white chocolate, cocoa, peaches, vanilla, coconut, hazelnut, almond, cream), and Pipa Vanilla Cavendish Smoking Pipe Tobacco and Corncob Pipe Kit, which are purported to contain an artificial or natural flavor that is a characterizing flavor of the products."
I'm sure some brilliant genius wrote an algorithm to pick out any "flavor" words on these websites and flag them...simply because the description on 965 has the word chocolate in it, it must be chocolate flavored...don't pay attention to any of the context or God-forbid, actually READ something "...notes of bitter-sweet chocolate..." Then again, it wouldn't make a difference, because these yahoos are way to smart and know it's just all a ruse to poison the youth of the world.
I laughed when I watched Idiocracy, but just give it time...we'll be watering everything with electrolytes in no time at the rate we're going.
