All very sad

Wonder if the shops are starting to notice a dip in turnover?

I would like to think not. But a casual shopper or tourist might pass by without realising what the shops really sell. Shame really as I doubt many cigars reatailers have ever had to ask anyone in school blazers for ID.

Used to get served in my school uniform. Booze as well as smokes. In fact I reckon I have been asked for ID more times since I turned 30 than I did when I was actually under age lol

You're old enough; as am I, to remember when the corner shop sold single cigarettes to kids oldie.jpeg

I'd really rather blame evil big tobacco than the government. Sure each have their own evils, but the cigarette companies are really to blame for forcing the hand of the governments.

I mean, the whole fear of cigars is not due to puros; rather, it's with big tobacco being able to pass off larger cigarettes as 'cigars' to avoid taxation.

'Larger cigarettes as cigars' Don't think that applies in the UK Butters.

Read Poland had to put up tax on cigars as what were basically piles of rolling tobacco with a single leaf round them there being sold as party ciagrs
