Well said. I'll smoke my nightly Nicaraguan in honor of your words, sir.

This is true but he had deep regret after killing Hamilton. Congress, I don't think he'd have so much guilt.

tobacco grown in china tastes nasty, the only thing it is good for is aromatic tobacco blends for pipe smokers. why would you even bring them into the equation? the entire point of this video is to enlighten people about whats going on with the cigar tax, and you were getting angry about it for some reason. I would like to point out that as soon as any and all cigar smokers hear about the tax we use our representation to put a stop to it! also, I just finished smoking a hand rolled cigar, awesom

UNLIKE the cigarette companys they do not seek addiction from there consumers by putting chemicals in the cigarettes, cigars is nothing but pure fresh tabacco that is not ment to be inhailed cigars are occassional traditional elegent and romantic and they are also much much much less leathal then cigarettes and by a long shot. cigars are one thing and cigarettes are another end of story plus its profits more then 80 percent of the economy in south ameriacn countries.

The politicians have the nerve to use tobacco to fund children's health care- that B.S. Something as important as children's health shouldn't be dependent on people smoking cigars or tobacco in general. Why? Because if the tobacco industry drowns because of this tax, there will be no money made from tobacco; hence no money for health care. This is where politicans, mostly Democrats fail humans. Kick them to the curb!

This type of taxation is worthy of another Boston Tea Party. If Thomas Jefferson were alive he would duel all of Congress to death.

This taxation would take away so much from so many. Why would they want to pass something like this. Its already to the point that you can barely find a place on this planet to enjoy a cigar and now they want to up the taxes on them. Plus, we should think about the increases to our illegal immigrant problem when these taxes create employment issues in these already economically challenged countries. Taxing hand rolled cigars just doesn't make much sense.
