The good news for Cigar Smokers is that it seems like our rights may finally have a champion.  Last weekend a member of our sister site, MyCigarFriends, posted about an email he received about the new Cigar Rights of America organization. The release was titled,

"Cigar Rights Of America Announces The Formation Of The Grassroots Non-Profit Association Of Cigar Enthusiasts To Fight Tobacco Tax Increases And Smoking Bans."

Frankly, we were skeptical of the validity of the news as we hadn't heard about it anywhere else, so we started checking with our sources. In the meantime, on Monday, Cigar Aficionado made a posting basically reiterating the press release. However, that was not good enough for the editors of Cigar Review.

We are pleased to report that we have verified that that the Cigar Rights of America is a new consumer-driven organization.

We have received commentary and input from various highly-placed executives at different cigar companies. This information is being complied today for publication this afternoon. We wanted to get this exciting breaking news to our readers as soon as possible. Please stay tuned for the full story with exclusive commentary and the unveiling of the new Cigar Rights of America logo right here on Cigar-Review.com.
