...Newman expects that the FDA will require tests on any new product made after 2007, which could take up to 5,000 hours and cost one million dollars.

In the article below, Eric Newman, of J.C. Newman Cigar Company (the last remaining premium cigar factory in Tampa, FL) discusses the possible closure of his factory, as a result of proposed FDA regulations.

PS: What is particularly disturbing about this, is that a specific cigar blend often lasts only as long as the supply of the originally purchased lots of tobacco (typically 3 or 4 years). After that, it must be reblended to accommodate the changing nature of any agricultural product.
