Hello Fellow BOTLs
A recent visit to my local B&M introduced me to the Grower President from Kauai Cigar Company. After chatting with him for a while he informed me that there was a recent legislation that has almost passed in Hawaii. This piece of legislation would increase the tax on tobacco 80%(Now its at 105%, basically prohibiting the sales of cigars in Hawaii) on the wholesale side. He let me know how detrimental it would be to his company being that they are a small humble cigar company who grows their own crop and distributes their own cigars. Although this piece of legislation is not specifically targeting cigar businesses, Kauai Cigar Co. is unfortunately caught in it's cross hairs. He informed me that he will be posting a letter on their website that you can print, sign and send in that will hopefully change the minds of Hawaii's legislature. I'm calling on everyone as a fellow BOTL to help this company out.
By coincidence Kauai Cigar Co. is responsible for the cigars we have chosen for the next box split in the CS exchange section. If we don't act now, we might not be able to enjoy their cigars in the near future.
On a side note, they will debuting a Hawaiian puro in the near future which should be very interesting.
Here is their website: http://kauaicigar.com/
-The letter has been posted
Thank you for your time everyone.
Les from Kauai cigars let me know that he has until Tuesday of next week to get in as many petitions in as possible. So please please please, lend this company a hand.
