Cigar’s popularity has finally leveled off! Cigars are beginning to become readily available once again. During the last 6 months, inventory levels at most manufacturers have slowly caught up to demand. You probably have noticed old favorites have been back in stock on a semi-regular basis at great prices. We have adjusted our backorder’s on some cigars to meet demand. Ask us about your favorite cigar and its backorder situation. We do try our best to keep your cigars in stock. Most of the newer cigars (those are the cigars that have popped up within the last 2 - 3 years) will slowly fade away. If you have absolutely fallen in love with one of the newer brands, then please let us know so we can continue to stock that brand for you. This will also assure you of a steady supply of the cigars you love. Still not satisfied with the cigar situation. Well, now is the time to try a pipe. With the many personal and private blends we have available and with the private blending that we can do for you, you are assured of a tobacco blend to suite your tastes. Why not ask about pipe smoking and our beginners package.

WHO can take a deep breath now! "WHO can now take a good long deep breath? The World Health Organization can, and although they are reluctant to admit it, we all can. In a definitive study on passive smoking, sponsored by the World Health Organization released three weeks ago, it was revealed that secondhand smoke poses no cancer risk at all. Never mind that the study is one of the largest ever to look at the risks of passive smoking, no one at WHO headquarters in Geneva would comment on the findings. One would think that WHO would be delighted at this good news. They should be anxious to let us all know that we can now breathe the air around us without fear of secondhand smoke causing everything from flat feet to baldness. Had the research found a definite relationship between passive smoking and lung cancer in nonsmokers, results more suited to WHO's self serving agenda, you can be sure their comments and statements would be well publicized. The only coverage in the US press we could find was an article in the Wall Street Journal, March 19. The study compared 650 lung cancer patients with 1,542 healthy people in seven Euopean countries. The results were expressed as "risk ratios," with 1 being the normal risk for a nonsmoker to contract lung cancer. The "risk" rose to 1.16 with exposure to smoke in the home and to 1.17 for exposure in the work place. The margin of error in the study is so wide - .93 to 1.44 - that the true risk ratio could be inconsequential or nonexistent. This certainly seems to show that while smoke may be annoying to some, science does not show that secondhand smoke is a lung cancer risk. In 1988, the International Agency on research on Cancer declared tobacco smoke a carcinogen. If smokers are at risk, surely anyone around them must be as well. Assuming that science would prove this to be true, many countries rushed, in the name of public health, to enact anti smoking policies. Our own EPA states that 3,000 Americans dies annually from secondhand smoke. California has imposed a total smoking ban in all public places. California was not the first to dictate such a ban. Iran did the same in 1996, but there it was overturned as unconstitutional. We, in our close knit tobacco family, along with less hysterical nonsmokers have always felt that the dangers of passive smoking have been greatly exaggerated and that the results of "scientific" studies are manipulated to match predetermined political ends. Perhaps the ant tobacco zealots have cried wolf one too many times. Their credibility has again been tarnished as their discredited scientific "facts" go up in a cloud of harmless secondhand smoke."
