In a way…………you ALL deserve,for allmost a 100 years,Harrison drug act(1919,i believe)you have all set back passively as big brother,says(no you cant have that),”No!you cant have that either!”the only *thing* americans have said “up yours” to,and made your own*which the government obviously couldn’t tax* was beer,wine,other alcoholic beverages,other wise you buy their *dribble* hook,line@sinker@blindly obey w/out questioning or proof,well now than,we have had thousands of *too numerous,too keep track of,I have a horribly painfull disease but I have to suffer,because a certain government*group*has the physicians too terrified to prescribe what my body/mind needs(too just take the edge off)…Oh…but stupid me!!The government is basicaly saying “learn to live with the pain”and yet silly me,I believe I should get some pain relief……..yeah……..right!!!!

It borders on the absurd to think that cloves are illegal. The fact that menthols escaped this litigation may as well be proof that the financial backers of the bill (e.g., Philip Morris) helped fund it as a way to destroy their competition in the alternative market. The crazy part is how many people went with the vote without any question (with exception to Ron Paul, who testified against the ban and against prohibition in general). I wish there was a place online to get updates on Djarums suit against the FDA as well as some place where people could add their support to the suit.

I am not a regular smoker, but I have always enjoyed the Djarum Black and other clove products. I am a 40 year old woman who enjoys fine. quality tobacco and was very dissapointed when I found the cigs were now cigars. They are decent in taste but not the same quality.I wish they could bring the cigs back with an additional warning that they are for consenting adults…this is crazy, what’s next pipe smoking will be out lawed, my Irish Great grandad would roll in his grave!!!

Ah,the Specials are a good smoke,I like them almost as much as the Blacks.The Specials cigars are a bit harsh,but they do have a good taste.Luckily there is a convenient store in my town that has just about any kind of Djarum you can think of.I don’t know where he gets them,but I hope he keeps on!(Maybe he gets them sent from India or something!)He just has to know you to sell to you.I still say we can fight this idiotic law.I wrote to all my elected officials in my state,and actually the Governor wrote me back,he said take the fight to the Federals in Washington,and gave me some E-mail addresses.Needless to say I have not gotten any responses from them yet.Anyway just make your voice heard,and let them know we will not stand for this any longer. Cheers,Chris

I live in California (land of fruits and nuts….politically)and could’t beleive it when my Special’s weren’t on the shelves anymore.
Since then I have smoked the Blacks and the new Special cigars.
They are close to the cigarettes and overall can handle it, but am looking oversea’s for the real deal again.
I can’t stand the fact that the tobacco police (FDA) are getting away with all the B.S. that is surrounding people who smoke, anything.Incremental laws like this will push us all into a socialist corner soon and we’ll all stand up one day and wonder how it happened… you’re looking at it people.
I hate them all- do-gooders/polititions/tobacco activists. DIE!

friends are telling me that salecheapcigarettes.com is the way to go. I know several who have gotten their orders and are quite please. They’re saying about three weeks turnaround. They have all the cigarettes except Bali Hai. I have no stake, just a recommendation from a fellow clove lover. I’ve been smoking the cigars which are available in the US but will soon order myself from the link.

To redgar,
I contacted my Governor in my state to voice my opinion.There is a few websites that have some info,but there are not many.I also signed a petition at petitionsite.com,but not many have signed it,hence not many kids smoked cloves right?Try contacting the lawmakers in your state,and don’t give up.If we become silent about this,they win.As for ordering your smokes online,just be careful.I have succesfully received a shipment of Djarum Blacks,and had no problems.(I was sweating until they arrived) but enjoyed them that next morning.Most of the sites will try to get them to you,but as with anything there are some that will take the money,and run.Good luck to you,and keep fighting.
