Flavored Cigars Illegal in New York WTF!!!

Big Ern

I was in Queens yesterday taking my NCCCO crane classes and at lunch time wandered into a B&M shop close to the school.I asked the guy there if he had any maduros or anything with a sweet cap etc. he looked at me like I was A retard, And told me all flavored cigars in NEW YORK ARE ILLEGAL AND CAN NO LONGER BE SOLD. Why would they make them illegal? I tried other places as well and the S.O.B. was right I cant find em anywhere. S@#t man!

It probably is looked upon as marketing to children

yea, your probably right. Michael Bloomberg (The Mayor of New york) has been doing alot of crazy things here. They are proposing a tax on Soda,Sweets,and anything else that is good but bad for you.You would be shocked at the lunacy and ridiculous prices for everything in New York

For some reason, I smell a recall coming for New York. Soon, they'll be banning all cigars, cigarettes, sodas, sweets, junk food, pizzas, and sex. Talk about pleasure police.

Oh, if Bloomberg could ban them, he would. He's improved parts of ny, but screwed up even more. And I hadn't heard of this ban. I'll have to look into it. No Acid or anything?

Flavored tobacco is Big Tobacco's version of training wheels? Cigars are addictive and target kids? Kids need to be protected? City council voted 46 to 1 on this issue? And the only person that says "No" says that tobacco sales is already illegal for minors. Looks like the NY city council only has one brain for 47 bodies.

I was told maduros have sweet nuances to them is this just B.S. or What? I was told this in the forum here when i was asking for help looking for any kind of sweet or cofffeeish flavor in a cigar.I am a Newbie just lookin for advice dude.

Big Ern

yup the menthol cigarettes are still on the market like mentioned by one of our fellow conversationists the kids are cuttin open the cigars and rollin herb in them thats why they outlawed the flavors. F%$#ed up aint it?

Nope, it's not BS. It's not "flavored", but most maduros have nuances of espresso, dark chocolate, and sometimes, cocoa.

Doesn't Drew Estates have a big office in NY? How's that gonna go when they can't even sell ACIDs in their hub city? Maybe they could move to Chicago!! We'll welcome them with open arms.....

Guess this also makes Gurkha Grand Reserve, HMR, and Art Deco illegal in NY also. Really, it's a shame that 47 people with some vendetta against tobacco and anything fun ruins it for so many.

If it is a real cigar (not dried) there should be no reason that it would not be sold to you. On the other hand Bodegas sell "Flavored" cigars and most kids buy them to roll the "Funky Stuff". I live in Queens and behind the counter of every bodega and connivence store they sell them. Walk down the block and go to another store because they are not Illegal.

Welcome to the forum brother. I live in Queens too, but you know Bloomberg. He doesn't wanna just stop that use of the phillies, but rather use it as an excuse to further smoking bans. He'll ban all tobacco if he can find a way.

Just don't take the politicians...they'll try to ban stuff in Chicago too!

They already did, handguns! Sure you may be able to 'own' handguns there now, but there are no gun stores that sell them, and IIRC you can't even leave your home (no, not even your porch or patio) with it.

Here in Colorado, you can still strap on a side arm...as long as it isn't concealed.
