I hope he does. I'd buy him a drink and a smoke for making the stand that he did. If there were any politician that came into my shop, I'd do the same!!!

I don't know if this has been proposed yet, but perhaps the way to help them make a stand on this is to arrange a BUYcott. You know what a boycott is, a buycott is the inverse.

Is there someone who'd be willing to coordinate a group buy from them? It'd be a great way for us to help push back on the nanny-state if we had thousands of dollars in purchases to this particular store that they could publicize.

Just a thought...

I applaud these people. We need more like them.

[nozero]

I commend the establishments owner for what appears to be his action based on his convictions.

This whole thing must have been embarrassing for him. He went in there probably with a smile on his face expecting some kind of warm welcome, thinking he'll satisfy his crave for a good cigar and he gets shut down! hahahah

I'm pretty sure that if I voted for him, I'd expect it.

You're making an assumption that he is slow witted. Is that based on your personal knowledge or just the fact that you don't like him?

Cant find anything on the net to verify any of the Arnold stuff.

A case of someone talking out one side their mouth and smokin out the other.

Hey guys,

I want to thank you for the kind words. My father started this small b&m 41 years ago. My aunt worked at the store. My grandfather worked in the store.
I grew up in and around the store. I have worked for my father for close to 16 years.


I never intended or dreamed of getting rich doing what I do. I do it for the love of the leaf. And it keeps me close to my father who still works with me at the store. We still do things the old fashion way. We still make deals with a hand shake not a contract and a lawyer. Because you are only as good as your word. If the deal smells, we get rid of it.

My sign was my way of protesting something I didn't and still don't think is right. I never intended for this to make the paper let alone the news. I don't
seek the limelight or wish to be famous. Although I'd like to see that Katherine Heigl chick up close and personal. LOL

I do what I do for the love of the industry. Not to get rich, but to take care of my family, live a comfortable life. I wake up everyday wondering what is next. I just found out yesterday that another group has filed an initiative to raise the tobacco tax on cigars and cigarettes. This is shortly after the house speakers plan failed.

IT NEVER ENDS.

Again thank you for the kind words. Keep up the fight in your own states, because if you think it won't happen to you or in your state, you are sadly mistaken.

Mark Just
Owner/President
Tower Pipes & Cigars.
