This contest saw 25 lucky winners walk away with a Toraño branded stainless steel wine fridge and the grand prize winner being awarded a weekend trip to Nashville, Tennessee to visit Arrington Vineyards.
 Timothy Hudson of Allentown, Michigan, who is an avid fan of Toraño brands, heard about the Toraño-Arrington contest and decided to make a trip with his brother to the nearest participating cigar store,Jenuwine Cigar Factory Outlet in Sterling Heights, Michigan. Hudson was originally introduced to smoking cigars while playing cards with friends. He quickly moved up to premium handmade cigars and notes that one of his favorites is the highly rated Toraño Exodus 1959. While at Jenuwine and having a smoke and sampling the Arrington Vineyards-Toraño Antebellum Private Barrel Reserve wine, Timothy entered the contest by purchasing a box of Exodus.

 When many people think of the game of poker, especially poker games of the past, they think of men in smoke-filled rooms sitting around the table with a good drink and smoking fine cigars. For many poker players, a fine cigar is still an indulgence, but one that can no longer be enjoyed in many casinos. Let's look at a few brands that poker players commonly smoke.
Surprisingly, a brand that you will often see being smoked are Phillies Blunts cigars. This blend of mild smoking Dominican and Honduran tobaccos seem to be a big hit with the 35 to 45 year old crowd. Part of that may be due to the brand being very popular during the 80's. Many of them grew up hearing about, and maybe even sneaking a few puffs of these classic machine-made cigars from their fathers. Before you ask, "Why the hell would they smoke a cheap-ass Phillies?" consider that many times these players do not have a lot of time to enjoy a good cigar. Many times, the breaks are no longer than 10 minutes. This doesn’t leave a lot of time, so it doesn’t make a lot of sense to waste, say, a Fuente Fuente OpusX. Save those for your home games or your dinner break.

 LAS VEGAS -- Several tobacco categories have already come under the microscope of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the general consensus seems to be that cigars' turn is coming. Insiders caution that the cigar industry needs to come together as a whole now, before the FDA acts.
"The politics of tobacco is the politics of diversion. We are too easy of a target. We set ourselves up for that because we never fought back," said Glynn Loope, executive director of Cigar Rights of America (CRA).

A look at the FDA's cigar and pipe tobacco status
 By Thomas A. Briant | Tobacco E-News
FDA law, as passed by Congress in 2009, allows the agency to extend tobacco regulations to other tobacco products, including cigars and pipe tobacco. Currently, the FDA only regulates cigarettes, roll-your-own tobacco and smokeless tobacco products.
 On April 25, 2011, the FDA issued a letter stating its intent to propose regulations on other tobacco products, such as cigars and pipe tobacco. The letter went on to state that these regulations may include company registration, product listing, ingredient listing, good manufacturing practice requirements, user fees for certain products and premarket review requirements for new tobacco products and modified risk tobacco products.
