[QUOTE="Doc Manhattan, post: 87896, member: 341"] Sorry if I was unclear, Hunter: Black & Milds are large cigar rate *right now* (being just barely big enough to make the FTC definition, certainly not by accident.) My guess (and it is purely a guess) is that their "pipe tobacco cigars" would fall under the purview of pipe tobacco rather than cigar. In any case, a few brands of now-banned flavored cigarettes (e.g. cloves) have relabeled themselves as little cigars, which is bound to put flavored cigars in the crosshairs when the tax scolds start talking about "parity." (The supreme irony, of course, is that a large percentage of Black & Milds have their tobacco removed before being used as smoking material... but that's another story.) Altria/Middleton can't be happy in any case given their up-and-up pipe tobacco business anyhow, especially after they "played ball" about the every other anti-tobacco law & levy. Apparently they had forgotten the story of the Frog and the Scorpion. [/QUOTE]
