The main issue at hand is how premium cigars will be defined. Due to the nature of how premium handmade cigars are produced, distributed and marketed, this seems to have gotten the Drug Administration tied-up like a Culebra, so here’s what they’ve proposed:
Either the FDA would regulate all cigars, machine-mades, premium handmades, et al. as one all-inclusive product, or, create a new definition for what they call “covered cigars,” and therefore, premium cigars would be identified as a product that …
is wrapped in whole tobacco leaf
contains a 100% tobacco leaf binder
contains mostly or all long-filler tobacco
is made by manually rolling the wrapper, filler, and binder
has no filter, tip, or non-tobacco mouthpiece, and is capped by hand
weighs more than 6 lbs. per 1000 units
does not have a characterizing flavor other than tobacco
has a retail price of no less than $10 per cigar
