Google filtering tobacco?

[pub spears]

Just ran a few searches on various cigar brands and the google shopping function returned zero results. Anyone know about this? Thanks Pub

Might be something that now vendors will have to pay to show up on google? maybe?

That is some serious garbage!!!!

Interesting. Does this have anything to do with that petition every online cigar site has been trying to get people to sign regarding internet cigar sales?

This reaches much further than cigar sales. Timing is interesting too.

It's just in the shopping searches......a standard google search will still provide results.

I understand that google is a business, but this just plain aweful.

Yeah - Dutch Masters. And George Burns was the spokesperson for over 50 years...

I preferred Edie Adams (Muriel cigars) over George Burns.

As for Canada, every station that I can remember had Terry Fox - the only great Canadian that all Canadians agree on, to paraphrase Douglas Coupland.

ETA: and some RCMP on horseback. (The current Canadian flag was much too controversial.)

"It occurs very rarely in the life of a nation that the courageous spirit of one person unites all people in the celebration of his life and in the mourning of his death ... We do not think of him as one who was defeated by misfortune but as one who inspired us with the example of the triumph of the human spirit over adversity".
