OK. Enough already!
Today, I was casually searching for a cigar brand description and ran across the following notice on JR’s site (I’m not plugging a cigar site. This is a well-known online retailer and they are commonly referred to on our Forum.):

This Bill was mentioned on a few other sites and by a couple government watchdog groups… whatever that means. I had no idea the bill was already referred to the Ways and Means Committee. If this bill makes it out of committee in current form and becomes law, pipe smokers will be in a world of hurt.
I know that retailers and anti-tax groups tend to sensationalize and overstate the potential impact of new tax law, but it may be worth your time to look this over. You can do a little research on H.R. 4439, and decide for yourself. There is plenty of information and many an opinion out there for your consideration.
Maybe a quick note to your Congressman would be a good idea.
<sigh> Fokkers!
