CRA – Cigar Rights of America
CRA – or the Cigar Rights of America is a group that was formed in the wake of troubling actions taken by our local city, state, and government against everyone who enjoys smoking cigars.
The CRA cites various legislative actions that would attempt to increase Federal cigar tax up to 6,000%, restrict smoking in private areas, and even push to eliminate smoking cigars in public.
Cigar Rights of America is based on three small ideas I know I’ve seen somewhere else:
“Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”
“Land of the Free”
“No Taxation Without Representation”
The founding sponsors of the CRA: Arturo Fuente, Ashton Cigars, Camacho Cigars, Cusano Cigars, Davidoff, Drew Estate, General Cigar, God of Fire, J.C. Newman Cigar Co., La Aurora, La Flor Dominicana, Oliva Cigar Co., Padrón Cigar Co., Prometheus, Rocky Patel Premium Cigars, Tabacalera Perdomo, Humidipak, Corona Cigar Co. and Thompson Cigar.
